Built in 1975 by W. G. Ross Building Corporation for a cost of $444,000, Fire Station 1 is a Headquarters Station, housing the Administration, Communications, Fire Prevention, Training, Suppression and Mechanical Divisions. The station includes fueling facilities for the Fire department's fleet and a Training Ground complete with a four-storey training tower. In 1991, an addition to the Administration side of the building more than doubled the size of the building and allowed for the enlargement of the areas assigned to the Mechanical, Fire Prevention and Public Education Divisions. The addition also permitted the relocation and upgrading of the Communications Division, which became a fully computerized center. The new space also provided new offices for the Chief and Deputy Chief, more space for administrative staff, a board room/meeting room, and better facilities for the Training Division including proper classroom facilities. In 2004, Cambridge Fire Department constructed a third building addition, including a single drive-through mechanic's bay, complete with a hoist capable of lifting any apparatus unit within the Cambridge Fire department's fleet. The gymnasium, bunker room and SCBA air room were also relocated within this addition, allowing more space for Public Education and Fire Prevention staff.

The Station 2 building was built for the former Town of Hespeler in 1914 for a cost of $35,750. It housed all the municipal offices, local police, the Council Chambers and the volunteer fire department, including two truck bays. Major renovations in 1976 provided the fire department with better office space, a concrete apparatus floor, as well as a dormitory, kitchen and lounge facilities on the second floor.

Station 3 was formerly the Preston Fire Hall, built in 1966 by the Town of Preston as part of the Town Hall Complex, which housed the municipal offices, the Police Station, and the Council Chambers. At this time, the Preston Fire department was a composite department with both full time and volunteer firefighters. Station 3 was initially used as the City of Cambridge Fire Department Headquarters Station until the Station 1 was built in 1975. Station 3 is also the home of our 1950 Bickle-Seagrave Pumper.

The station building will be LEED Silver certified.
