After the old Station 39 opened, Captain Tony Pinka, B shift, obtained permission
from the Fire Department and the East Dallas Chamber of Commerce to solicit
donations from area merchants to furnish the station with a television set.
The log book listing the merchants and the amount of their donation is in
the station library. Firefighters also planted trees around the station:
some were furnished by the City, and others were brought back with the firefighters
from a rabbit hunting trip at Cumby, Texas.
In May 1957, a month after a tornado hit Dallas, a straight wind of about
70 MPH lifted the roof off the station. Since the station did not have an
underground fallout shelter, the Captain dove for the safest place he could
think of-under the engine.
