That list doesn't show where the 4 Batallion Captains (2, 4, 8, & 9) are located. It also mis labels the tower companies as Engines. I believe they are 5, 13, 14, & possibly others.

I used to live in Akron about 6 years ago and monitored when I lived there. If I remember correctly the Batallion Captions by number were out of that station. Let me see if I can remember where the stations you listed are located. I know Station 8 is at the corner of Kelly Ave. and Archwood Blvd.. Station 2 was off E. Market St near Arlington St. Station 13 is at the corner of Brown St. and Archwood Blvd. Station 5 is near the corner of E. Market St. and S. Canton RD. Station 4 is just south of downtown off Broadway but I don't remember the street. Station 4 is where the HAZMAT truck is kept. I hope that helps!!

Thanks to all that replied!!

I do know FD Station 7 is at Rt. 8 and Tallmadge.

Also, there is a Fire Station on Britain Road just south of the five points
intersection with a practice tower etc. anyone know more about
this station in particular?

I guess the reason I'm asking locations, is it helps if I hear a particular
station called out, I have a better idea where they're at.

Thanks again!!!

Listen to the 7:30 AM radio check every morning...they call out all the companies. "Towers" are used as engines. Don't go as fast as beer trucks. Kids on bikes pass them when they're on a run. Firemen hate them. Will replace them with engines when they're old enough to retire.

I am not sure, maybe someone else can post some info for us.
I just posted the radio check as I heard it.

 

[FPO703]

Yes, this is the FD for Goodyear company. There used to be ones for Firestone, and others as well, in the past.

I believe Goodyear 301 is a support type vehicle .. SUV, pick up truck etc.

Goodyear 301 is their Engine from what I understand. Firestone also used to have one and its radio number was Firestone 300. I still have a roster from the late to middle 80's. of what companies were in service and in what stations.
