Welcome to the Extra Alarm Association
Home Page!

The Extra Alarm Association of the Twin Cities, Inc. is a non-profit corporation that serves as the local fire buff organization in the St. Paul & Minneapolis, Minnesota (U.S.A.) area known as the "Twin Cities".

Our primary function is to support the Twin City area fire departments in any way we can. We also publish a highly regarded bi-monthly newsletter, "The Extra Alarmer", make annual donations to the Burn Centers at Regions Hospital (St. Paul), and Hennepin County Medical Center (Minneapolis), and assist in the coordination of the annual Burnsville Fire Muster. We are members of the International Fire Buff Associates, Inc., which consists of 87 member organizations throughout North America. The Extra Alarm Association was founded in 1974 (hence the number "74" on the fire alarm box in our logo).

On April 13, 2010 the St. Paul Fire Department opened the new Station 1, located at 1000 W. 7th. Street (Fort Rd.) at the southeast corner of the intersection with Randolph.

The new Station 1 replaces the former Station 1 , located at 296 W. 7th btn. Walnut and Sherman, and the former Station 10 , located at 754 Randolph btn. Bay and View. The apparatus from both former stations have been relocated to the new Station 1, consiting of Engine 10, Ladder 10, Ambulance 10, Rescue Squad 3, and Collapse Rescue 1.

The new Station 1 also now serves as departmental headquarters for the department, formerly located at St. Paul's Public Safety Building.
