The Chairman of Strathclyde Regional Council Police and Fire Committee decided that because of the length of time that Govan Fire Station had been operational and the severe cut backs in the Regional budget, to have a simple dedication service, rather than the traditional opening service.
The service will be attended by the Chairman of the Police and Fire Committee, the Vice Chairman, together with the Firemaster, Deputy Firemaster and Brigade Chaplin and the  Local Regional Councillor. The Chairman wants to meet the station personnel and I suggest there is a parade after which a small dedication service. Station personnel are invited to bring their wives or partners if they so desire.
Would you please arrange to have light refreshments at Govan Fire station.
On the 6th of November 1987 the following stations were dedicated :-
Govan                            11-00
Polmadie                        12-30
Cheapside House         14-30
Springburn                    15-30

(from SFB memos in the archives)

This station was officially dedicated on 6/11/1987 after going operational in September 1985.

Each watch has 1 Station Officer, 1 Sub Officer, 3 Leading Firefighters and 18 Firefighters.

23/10/1988 A "Saved" portrait was unveiled on the west wall of the Recreation Room in Govan Fire station by Russell McLean son of  Sub Officer Edward McLean.
