Gallatin fire station locations and phone numbers

Station 1 and Fire Administration

119 Chief Billy Crook Boulevard, Gallatin, TN 37066

Phone: 615-452-2771

The City’s Station Number 1 page identifies this location as Station 1. The City directory separately lists the address as the Fire Department and Fire Marshal Office, making it the most useful starting point for general administrative, fire-prevention and public-education questions.

The station page says the station was built in 1975 to replace Gallatin’s original Station 1 at the former City Hall building on West Main Street. It describes the station’s response area as including downtown, portions of South Water and Highway 25, along with areas near Old Hickory Lake and the Cumberland River.

Station 2

1530 Nashville Pike, Gallatin, TN 37066

Phone: 615-452-7802

Station 2 is one of the five facilities listed by the City’s Fire Department and municipal directory. The City’s historical department report identifies it as the city’s second fire station and notes that it was built in 1973. Because response assignments can change, use 911 for emergencies rather than trying to determine which station serves a particular address.

Station 3

860 Red River Road, Gallatin, TN 37066

Phone: 615-452-6574

Station 3 is listed in the City directory and on the department’s contact information. The City’s historical report says the station was built in 2005 and serves the north-central area of Gallatin.

Services for Gallatin residents

Station tours and public education

The Gallatin Fire Department offers station tours for scout groups, preschools, school classes, churches and civic groups. The City asks groups to call Station 1 at 615-452-2771 to schedule a tour at one of the department’s locations. Do not assume a station can accommodate an unscheduled group, especially when crews may be responding to calls.

The department also identifies community risk reduction and public education as part of its work. Those services are useful for families, schools, neighborhood groups and businesses that want fire-safety information without calling 911.

Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors

Gallatin residents can request help with smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors through the department’s Get Alarmed program. The City’s Fire FAQ says the department can install both types of detectors for Gallatin residents. The City’s Community Connect page also allows residents to request a smoke-alarm inspection and, where applicable, free smoke-alarm replacements through Get Alarmed.

The City says smoke alarms should be located in each bedroom and on every floor of a residence. If you need an installation or inspection, contact Fire Administration at 615-452-2771 or use the department’s current Community Connect and Get Alarmed instructions. Eligibility and scheduling should be confirmed before publication and before relying on the program for an urgent safety issue.

Community Connect

Community Connect is a free program for Gallatin residents and business owners. Participants can provide information such as household members, pets, medical needs, emergency plans and access details that may help firefighters during an emergency. The City says one account can be registered for each address and that submitted information remains valid for six months unless updated or removed.

This is a preparedness tool, not an emergency-reporting system. Call 911 when an emergency is happening.

Burn permits and outdoor burning in Gallatin

Outdoor-burning rules depend on the location, type and size of the fire. Gallatin’s official pages should be checked before burning because the City’s current pages do not describe residential permit requirements in exactly the same way.

The City’s Burn Permits page says permits are for yard rakings and brush, are issued for the current day, and require city-limit residents to call the Gallatin Fire Department at 615-452-2771. It also says recreational burning of logs, brush or charcoal for food preparation or recreation does not require a permit under Tennessee law.

The City’s Fire Marshal page says typical household burning such as outside fire pits does not require a residential burn permit, while commercial burns do require permits. It directs applicants to Fire Administration at 119 Chief Billy Crook Boulevard during normal business hours.

Because these official descriptions differ, the safest practical step is to call 615-452-2771 before burning and describe the material, location, fire size and purpose. Do not assume that a permit eliminates responsibility for escaped fire, smoke or property damage.

For property outside Gallatin city limits, the City directs residents to the Tennessee Department of Agriculture Division of Forestry. Tennessee says permits are required from October 15 through May 15 for debris-pile and prescribed fires, subject to local restrictions and burn bans. The state permit system is available online or by calling 877-350-2876..

Fire inspections, permits and alarm registration for businesses

Gallatin businesses, property owners and contractors may need the Fire Marshal or Building Codes division rather than a station crew for administrative work.

The City says a construction permit is required for installing or modifying fire alarms, detection systems, automatic fire-extinguishing systems, fire pumps and certain hazardous-material storage systems. Contractors that service, test, install or maintain listed fire-protection systems in Gallatin must use The Compliance Engine to file inspection and maintenance records.

The City also says homeowners and business owners must register a new alarm system with the Gallatin Fire Department if they want the system to automatically summon local firefighters and emergency medical responders. The registration application is listed as free.

For permit or inspection questions, the City lists Building Codes at:

• 132 West Main Street, Room 202, Gallatin, TN 37066
• Phone: 615-451-5968

Requirements, fees and inspection steps can vary by project. Confirm the current application, fee schedule, documents and scheduling process directly with Building Codes before beginning construction or system work.

A short history of Gallatin’s fire service

Gallatin’s fire service began with local volunteers. The City’s history page says Gallatin’s first paid fire department was established in April 1960. Joe St. Charles, previously chief of the volunteer department, became chief, and Billy Deering was hired as the first full-time firefighter.

The City also preserves the story of Gallatin’s early fire wagon and the large red cylinder that served as a siren at the original fire and police station. The city’s historical account says the siren was used to warn residents during the April 2006 tornado.

Practical checklist before contacting the department

Have these details ready when calling about a non-emergency question:

• Your street address and whether it is inside Gallatin city limits.
• The type of help you need: station tour, smoke alarm, burning, inspection or another question.
• For burning questions, the material, approximate size, location and intended date.
• For business or construction questions, the project address, system type and current permit or inspection information.
• For smoke-alarm requests, the number of residents, sleeping areas and floors involved.
• Any deadline or scheduled inspection date.

For immediate danger, skip the checklist and call 911. For current station information or fire-prevention assistance, start with Gallatin Fire Administration at 615-452-2771.
