West Austin Fire Company #7 organized around 1904-5 and built their fire hall at 1000 Blanco St. in Old West Austin.  This fire station was renamed Fire Station #4 in 1916 when AFD became a fully paid organization.  Fire Station #4 currently stands as Austin's oldest operating fire station and the only one to date back to the horse drawn era.  In 2012, the North Austin #6 (Also called Old Fire Station #3) fire station returned to the possesion of the Austin Fire Department and currently houses the Austin Fire Investigations Division.
