ATCEMS places time capsule in historic Station One amid renovations
SUMMARY: Austin-Travis County EMS celebrated the renovation of their historic Station One by embedding a time capsule in its walls. Station One, located at 3616 South 1st Street, was the nation's first standalone EMS station, originally opened on April 15, 1982. The recent renovations were funded by a bond package approved by voters in 2018. The station has hosted various response vehicles and served as a home for many medics over the years. The time capsule represents a unique opportunity for current Austinites to connect with future generations. A send-off event for the station took place in 2021 before remodeling began.
