L-1 also operates Tac-1 (2004 Ford F-350 4x4 with CAFS).  The Municipal Building was opened in 1924 and has shared the 4-story facility with Police Headquarters since that time.  In 1998, major renovations were begun and upon completion in 2000 the fire companies have enjoyed their new living quarters and offices at one of Asheville’s  Historic designations.

Station 1 (E1,L1,R1) covers the central business area and most of Asheville’s high-rises such as BB&T building, City Hall and the Buncombe County Court House.  Rescue 1 provides services to the entire city.
