Southside Fire Station 14

I finally have had a chance to find out what Station Number the new Southside Fire Station on Elba Island has; it is Station 14. I was able to catch SSFD's morning radio checks today and hear them do a radio check with Station 14/Engine 14. No doubt this is the new station and Engine that will cover the area that Southside recently took over from Savannah Fire.

I wonder if they have skipped Station 13 for reasons of superstition or if there is another station expansion planned?

In regards to Elba Island, it was recently reported in the Savannah Morning News that El Paso LNG and the City of Savannah have come to an agreement in which Savannah Fire will continue responding to the Elba Island facility. I can't help but think that, from the public safety perspective, they have come to the most common sense decision.
