Florida State Fire College, West State Route 40 (West Silver Springs Boulevard) and 16th Avenue NW (Martin Luther King Avenue) Ocala, Florida, Marion County. These pictures are from January 1983. The first FSFC training sessions were held in 1939 in Daytona Beach. These annual classes continued until settling here in Ocala in 1949. In 1989 the Fire College was moved seven miles north of Ocala in the town of Lowell (11655 NW Gainesville Road, Ocala, Florida). The fire station, I believe, is located on the campus and housed the school's apparatus. The training buildings seem to have disappeared between 1995 and 1999.
