Hoover Fire Station No. 3

Hoover Fire Station No. 3 is a fire station for the Hoover Fire Department located at 803 Riverchase Parkway West in Riverchase and was opened in December 1981 on the site of a vacant doctor's office, across from the former fire station for the Riverchase Fire District, which was annexed into Hoover in 1980. The volunteers from Riverchase, as well as eight other firefighters, were hired to man the station. An additional engine company was added to Station No. 3 in 1987 while Hoover Fire Station No. 4 was being built, and was moved upon the new station's completion.
