The Nashville Fire Department(NFD) added Truck Company Number 33 to its in-service front-line fleet on Friday, November 14, 2025, at Fire Station Number 33 located at 2501 Forest View Drive, Antioch, Tennessee 37013.
The addition of Truck Company Number 33 brings the total number of Truck Companies to 14 in Metro Nashville Davidson County. This includes 10 Aerial Trucks, 2 Tower Trucks and 2 Tiller Trucks already in service.
Truck Company Number 33 expands the fire suppression capabilities of the NFD in the growing Southeast area of Metro Nashville Davidson County along Murfreesboro Pike.
"The territory around Fire Station Number 33 is a high call volume area, including calls for commercial and apartment fires," Director Chief William Swann said. "The addition of Truck Company Number 33 will allow for faster response times and better fire suppression coverage for the Antioch area."
Aerial trucks are used for rescue, ventilation, and elevated firefighting and are critical for accessing upper floors of buildings, providing escape routes, and delivering large volumes of water from an elevated position. NFD truck companies also respond to motor vehicle accidents and carry vehicle extrication tools. Fire Operations personnel are all trained EMTs and in some cases are Firefighter Paramedics. They can provide emergency medical care when needed.
While Truck Company Number 33 is assigned to the area surrounding Fire Station Number 33, the apparatus and personnel can respond to other areas of the county depending on need.
The truck company will also be able to reduce the need for other truck companies from outside the area from having to respond to this area as often. This is expected to help reduce response times and run volumes for all units.
Truck Company Number 33 is staffed across all three of NFD's fire operational shifts. Funding for the new truck company came from the Fiscal 2026 operating budget proposed by Mayor Freddie O'Connell and approved by the Metro Nashville Council.
In 2024 NFD responded to more than 160,000 incidents. From January 1, 2025, through November 6, 2025, the NFD has responded to more than 139,000 incidents or about a 14.3% increase when compared to the same time in 2024.
