Boston Engine 3- Harrison Ave. in the South End

June 9, 2013

Working today and detailed to Harrison Ave. in the South End.  This firehouse is home to Engine 3 and the Special Unit (lighting plant).  The firehouse was built in the 40's and at one time also housed the Aerial Tower (and Ladder 3).  During the 60's, 70's, and 80's the South End consisted of vacant brownstones, housing projects and warehouses.  Due to building construction and narrow streets it's a very complex area to have a fire.
