Hoover Fire Station No. 6

Hoover Fire Station No. 6, a fire station for the Hoover Fire Department located at 310 Edna Road in Deer Valley, was opened in July 1988 to cover the western end of Hoover, adding eleven personnel to the department at the time. Prior to the 2021 opening of Hoover Fire Station No. 11, the station covered a 14 square-mile section of western Hoover, with some residences in Shelby County served by an agreement with Helena Fire Department; afterwards the area was reduced to seven square-miles, covering communities along South Shades Crest Road, Shelby County Highway 93 and Shelby County Highway 13 (south of Shelby County Highway 52).
