Station 11 houses Engine 11, Truck 11, Rescue 11, and Peak Demand Rescue 73. Due to space constraints at the station, one Rescue runs out of the side door onto Reagan Street. The station opened in 1909 and is the oldest station still in use.

Considered the first "suburban" fire station in Dallas, #11 was designed by architects Hubbell and Green. They designed other notable Dallas buildings: First Church of Christ Scientist and the Scottish Rite Temple. Reflecting American Prairie style architectural influence, Station #11 was built as a sister station to Station #5 or "Old Tige," built at the turn of the century across from the Fair Park and now housing the Dallas Firefighters Museum. These two stations are the last of their kind in Dallas.
