This list is intended to include all historic fire stations which have formally been listed on historic registers, as well as modern ones notable for their architecture or other reasons.
This list is not intended to cover fire department buildings that are purely administrative.
Nor does it cover specialty buildings serving as fire alarm headquarters or pumping stations for water supply systems dedicated to firefighting; for these see List of fire department specialty facilities.
Narrow towers rising above many fire station buildings are hose towers, for purpose of cleaning and drying fire hoses.
In the U.S., numerous fire stations are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)[15] and there are other notable ones as well.
