Pods at Springburn MDL (M3) SCO03.

8/8/2006 The three Forward Control Units went on the run and the Command Unit based at Springburn came off the run.
October 2015 the DIM Unit (Detection, Investigating and Monitoring) was moved from Springburn to Bishopbriggs. Can't remember when it arrived at Springburn.

This Station cost £4,000 and took eighteen months to build, being ready in August 1893 with married quarters for ten firemen. The building stood at the corner of Springburn and Keppochhill Roads, but the expressway has made this a busy crossroads so a replacement was constructed at Petershill Road in 1986. The old station was converted into flats, each selling at a fixed price of £28,250.
Springburn’s most discussed fire was on New Year’s night in 1941, when the Oxford Picture House was burned down, the most remarkable fact being that the cinema was next door to the Fire Station.
The photo shows a Horse drawn steamer and G466 a Motor Ladder ? in front of the Station.

This was Station A5 in the Glasgow Fire Service in 1975.

The Chairman of Strathclyde Regional Council Police and Fire Committee decided that because of the length of time that Springburn Fire Station had been operational and the severe cut backs in the Regional budget, to have a simple dedication service, rather than the traditional opening service.
The service will be attended by the Chairman of the Police and Fire Committee, the Vice Chairman, together with the Firemaster, Deputy Firemaster and Brigade Chaplin and the  Local Regional Councillor. The Chairman wants to meet the station personnel and I suggest there is a parade after which a small dedication service. Station personnel are invited to bring their wives or partners if they so desire.
Would you please arrange to have light refreshments at Springburn Fire station.
On the 6th of November 1987 the following stations were dedicated :-
Govan                            11-00
Polmadie                        12-30
Cheapside House         14-30
Springburn                    15-30
Time was allowed for lunch at Cheapside House

In 1999 the Command Unit was move from Johnstone to Springburn as they still had the establishment for the TL and it released Control Room staff at Johnstone. The Control Unit did not change it's call sign to A037 but retained the call sign of C017.

Originally Station A3 at start of Strathclyde Fire Brigade the station call sign was changed to U02 on 30/9/2005 during a reorganisation of Commands into Areas.

With the restructure of the three Glasgow Areas into two, approved by the Board on the 8th of April 2010, North East Glasgow was split between North West Glasgow, name now changed to North Glasgow, and South Glasgow with Springburn moving to North Glasgow and on the 16th November 2010 the station call sign for Springburn was changed from U02 to T06.

When the new call signs were being implemented in the WEST SDA over a 7 week period beginning 31/8/2020  doing 1 LSO Area per week, Springburn was changed from T06 to B10.
