Firehouses

I am answering a question about Church fires on another thread.
It belongs here. I think we can get more input.
I show four church fires in the past few months.
We have discussed all but the most recent here.

I know Engine 36 was the one that caught fire on the east side a few months back. I recently heard a rumor that this old firehouse is going to be saved, but there was no more information about it. Anyone heard anything?

E.36 [[Miller at Helen ) closed in 1982. Chief 3 closed in 2005.
L.16 and Medic 16 run from this quarters. I think you mean
L.14. Last I heard it was to be rebuilt.That is subject to
change,L.14 in service and running with E.38 at Coplin
north of Jefferson.

I meant No. 14, gee my memory is terrible

Glad to hear it should be repaired and returned to service! No thanks to George Jackson or the DDA for this example of historic preservation

intresting discussion on the history of the church
