Stations 74/75 - Avondale VFD

Avondale, LA is most famous for Avondale Shipyards even though the shipyard is not in Avondale. The Avondale community is comprised of primarily residential and commercial, but some oil fields and oil storage battaries are in the area. Avondale VFD has two stations, one on US-90 and the new main station on South Jamie Blvd. Avondale boarders Nine Mile Point, WKB, and Bridge City.

The Avondale Volunteer Fire Department operates this 1997 Ferrara that is housed at the new station on South Jamie Blvd.
