Tour the firehouse on St Johns and Washington, Sunday, March 24th

For children of all ages:

On Sunday, MARCH 24, 2013 from 10 AM - Noon, the FDNY will hold an Open House at the firehouse located at 489 St. John's Place (near Washington Avenue).

This is a new initiative and will probably expand to other firehouses.

Bump!

For those not aware, this firehouse is the home of Engine 280 & Ladder 132.

The officers and members look forward to you coming and learning more about your local firehouse!

They have been around a while!

Since 1913.

Here's a photo of them from 1915.

I am pretty sure the burning building depicted above (to the left of the GAP Arch) is none other than....

The St John's Fire!
