Station Ten
Fire Station 10 is located on the north side of the city at 1517 Troy Drive. The station houses an engine crew and an ambulance.
The station began operations in 1962. It was formerly used as a fallout shelter for the community.
Equipment
- Engine 10 – a 2019 Pierce Quantum Fire Engine with a 1250 gallons-per-minute Hale pump, 500-gallon water tank, and 20-gallon foam tank. Additional EMS equipment is also carried on board to be utilized by the crew. Engine 10 is also designed with several cancer prevention options for firefighter health. These upgrades will ease the cleaning of equipment and personnel after a fire.
- Medic 10 - a 2017 Ford E-450 with a Braun Advanced Life Support patient compartment. It carries a full complement of advanced life support medicine and equipment including a defibrillator, oxygen, and immobilization gear. To aide in patient and paramedic safety, it operates with a Stryker power-loading cot.

Station 10's first-due territory serves the neighborhoods throughout Madison's north side and ranges from the Kraft/Oscar Mayer area through Warner Beach and Park towards Token Creek and Waunakee. Off-duty, many personnel further contribute to the community in local, national, and international volunteer service. It is their diverse backgrounds and skills that lend to the success and unity of the Station 10 crew's daily service delivery.
The crew has adopted a logo with a firefighting Mallard to note the station's proximity to the home of the Madison Mallards baseball team.
