Philip Pinkowski Jr. Memorial Fire Station
Named in honor of longtime Chief Philip Pinkowski Jr. who was lost in a LODD, this is one of two stations operated by the Clarendon VFD. Originally a two bay barn located in neighboring Rutland, it was moved to Clarendon in 1961 to act as the first firehouse and had an additional apparatus bay added in 1988.

Originally serving Palm Beach County (Florida) Fire Rescue, this rig operated with Clarendon VFD as a rescue engine equipped with Holmatro® extrication tools. Now serving in Mission, South Dakota it was replaced with a new 2021 Emergency One Typhoon series 1250/1500 pumper/tanker featuring a rear dump valve and 1,000' of 4" supply line. Clarendon VFD also operates with
a 2000 International/American Eagle 1250/1000 pumper-tanker (refurbished with new LED lighting and water tank) that responds from Station 2 to access narrow roadways within their response area.
