FIG GARDEN FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT

The Fig Garden Fire Protection District was formed in 1942 to provide needed structural fire protection to an almost fully developed residential area comprised primarily of the Forkner Tract. The District, approximately one square mile in size, is bounded, generally, by Shaw Avenue on the north, Maroa on the east, the Herndon Canal on the south, and Palm Avenue on the west. A three-member Board of Directors governs the District. The current directors are Louis Linney, Larry Fortune, and a currently vacant seat... The Fig Garden area has a long history of community and pride with a 73-year history of its local fire station (located at 4537 N. Wishon.) The station is currently staffed with three professional firefighters 365 days-a-year/14 hours-a-day utilizing Engine 20 (E20).
