When the station opened it was called Monifieth but at some point the name changed to Balmossie.
In the 1990 Firemaster's Annul Report the station is listed as Monifieth. In the 1992 report it is listed as Balmossie.

MONIFIETH
The non-professional fire brigade at Monifieth, near Dundee, has been reorganised. The former personnel of eight, five of whom were more than 60 years of age, has been replaced by younger personnel of ten. The new chief is Mr. J. Heggie, a municipal official.
Hydrant outlets in Monifieth are to be altered to conform with those of Dundee, so that the Dundee Fire Brigade may render assistance in event of serious fires.
It is expected that an officer from the Dundee Fire Brigade will supervise the instruction of the new personnel.
(Fire, March, 1939. page 232.)

Low's Foundry in Monifieth had their own fire brigade, and loaned it to the town when needed. (Talking about late 19th century, I think.)

This was A03 until 28/6/2004 when it became Station 3 and on ?/12/2015 it became P05 with the introduction of the new National Call Signs.

Station A10 Monifieth was a 1 Pump retained station which was the size of a large domestic garage which could only hold a Karrier Gamecock Water Tender. Station A3 Broughty Ferry was a 1 Pump wholetime and 1 Pump retained station. They both closed when the new A3 called Balmossie opened in 1982. The new station is exactly on the border of Broughty Ferry and Monifieth and both retained crews were re-employed to respond to the new A3, when Balmossie became operational initially with 1 wholetime Pump and 1 retained Pump and Foam Salvage Tender.

Balmossie Fire Station which was opened in 1981 was officially opened later. Prior to the station being operational, it was handed over to Tayside Fire Brigade. The Foam Salvage Tender which was relocated from the Kingsway Station was stationed on the run at Balmossie which was not operational as yet. The Foam Salvage Tender was as I said on the run from Balmossie the crew acting as 'caretakers'. The first turnout the station got was at this time when the Foam Salvage Tender was turned out as part of the first attendance to an AFA call to the Michelin Tyre Factory.
The crew of two, Driver Graham Moir, and a young Leading Fireman, Dave Adam, attended the first ever turnout from the station.

A fire station for the ‘80s

Tayside’s newest fire station was given the official seal of approval in a ceremony on the premises yesterday.
Balmossie fire station, Monifieth, serving the east of Dundee and surrounding areas, was officially opened by Councillor William Johnston, convener of Tayside Regional Council police and fire committee.
Saying that the event was “very much an occasion in the history of the Tayside Brigade,” Councillor Johnston paid tribute to all those involved in what represented further progress in the region’s fire services. He unveiled a commemorative plaque to mark the occasion.

“Demands”

He pointed to various aspects of modern day life, such as higher technology in chemicals, machinery, communications and building regulations which, he said, “have created conditions which place ever increasing demands upon the members of the fire service.”
Balmossie station is the operational base for four watches of firemen, each of nine men, and for the fire prevention officer for an area stretching from eastern Dundee to Carnoustie. Costing around £580,000, it replaces two old, smaller stations—at Monifieth and Broughty Ferry—and will take some pressure off the busy East Kingsway station in Dundee.

Landscaping

Construction of the building by Burness & Sons. (Montrose), Ltd., began in April 1981
It has been designed to blend into the background, and extensive landscaping work has been done to preserve the amenity of the area.
Internally, there is a four bay appliance room though, at the moment, there are only three appliances including a specialised foam/salvage appliance.
Facilities also include an emergency generator, compressor and communications equipment and recreation and messing accommodation.
A drill tower, drill yard and lecture room are among training facilities.
Firemaster David Nicoll thanked everybody involved in the project and those who attended yesterday’s ceremony.
He also presented Councillor Johnston and Dr. W. Fitzgerald, convener of the regional council, who made the opening address, with scaled down and mounted fire axes.
