Old Firehouse #12 was originally located in Drew Park as part of TampaInternationalAirport. Opened in October of 1960 the station housed ARFF units as well as Engine 12 which responded into the Drew Park neighborhood. In 1989, Engine 12 was relocated to the Hilldale neighborhood Station #12 and this station was renumbered as Station #22 and responded only ARFF units covering the east side of TIA. In 2006 the units from Stations #2 and #22 moved to a new facility (Station #2) located in the center of the TIA property. The station above was demolished in 2008.
