Many stations develop a specific identity over time, and carry that through with logos that members of the crew display with pride. The logo developed by the crew of Station #1 notes that the station is a double company with a ladder, engine and ambulance, along with being home to the Lake Rescue team. The moose is a tribute to former station officer Lt. K-tal Johnson, who died in 2006. Johnson was an avid outdoorsman, whose love of hunting resulted in a moose head trophy that has been mounted in the stairwell at #1.
