Seattle Fire Department Station 23 was part of the Seattle Fire Department. It was run by Captain Pat Aquino. A notoriously slow station within the SFD, it served an area located directly to the northeast of station 19's area. As such, these neighboring stations often came to each other's aid for more serious calls.[source?]
History[]
Andy was transferred to Station 23 after rubbing Fire Chief McCallister the wrong way in her defense of Maya Bishop, who was demoted for openly disobeying a direct order from McCallister.[1]
After Captain Aquino was seriously injured by a gas explosion, Andy was designated acting Captain during his recovery.[2]
When new Fire Chief Natasha Ross was faced with a serious budget deficit, she had to choose a station to close. After Andy came to her and talked to her about the shortcomings of station 23, Ross decided 23 would be the station to close.[3]

Notes and Trivia[]
- Like Station 19 (and other named stations in the series), Station 23 does not exist in real life.
- The firefighters make up a rotation of who's cooking for the rest.[source?]
- Firefighters Carroll and Sam appeared on Grey's Anatomy with their attire indicating that they work for Station 23 (with her being the Captain). Their appearance pre-dates the conception of Station 19; by the time the station is introduced, they no longer work there.
- David Mayhorn is the first prominent firefighter of the station to be introduced on screen. He appeared in season two but was not among the station's crew as seen in season five, meaning he left the station prior to the Phoenix Fair.
- This firehouse had at least three vehicles at its disposal and they are described here:
- E23: Engine Company 23, a team that works on a truck functioning as a firefighting apparatus used by firefighting personnel. The Engine Company apparatus had a wide variety of basic Firefighting equipment, as well as basic Rescue equipment and Medical equipment along with other tools and equipment that the firefighters needed to respond to fires or other emergency incidents.
- L23: Ladder Company 23, a team that works on a larger truck. The Ladder Company apparatus was staffed by firefighting personnel and it was equipped with an aerial ladder and a wide variety of specialized Firefighting equipment, Rescue equipment and Medical equipment along with other tools and equipment that the firefighters needed to respond to fires and other emergency incidents. The Ladder Company apparatus was operated by a Tractor Drawn Aerial Ladder Truck (Also Known As a Tiller Truck).
- A23: Aid Car 23, a vehicle equipped primarily for medical purposes, including patient transport. It had a variety of specialized medical equipment and tools to provide emergency medical assistance in the field. In Seattle, all firefighters are also trained Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). The word "ambulance" is a word that describes Emergency Medical Services vehicles operated by non-firefighter paramedics whereas the word "Aid Car" is a word that describes emergency medical services vehicles operated by firefighters/Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs).
