This fire station was dedicated on March 22, 2005 to a father and son who were instrumental to the history of the Tracy Fire Department. Tom Eagan, born July 8, 1878, joined the Tracy Fire Department in 1910, the year Tracy was first incorporated. He joined the volunteer department and shortly after was elected by the volunteers as the first volunteer Fire Chief. In 1917, the City of Tracy appointed him the first paid Fire Chief, a position he held until 1920. He died on August 7, 1959, at the age of 70. John Eagan, born August 1, 1916, joined the Tracy Fire Department as a volunteer in February 1947 and was hired full time on September 1, 1947, as Tracy's 10th paid firefighter. In July 1954 he was promoted to Captain. At different times over the next twenty-four years, he also served as Acting Fire Chief until his retirement on July 31, 1978. He died on November 29, 2004, at the age of 88.
