Engine 8 and Ladder 1 are quartered in the North End of Boston. The North End is a very dense and congested part of the city. Most of the streets are narrow and considered to be old “cow paths”. As a result when members are performing daily maintenance duties on the apparatus they must pull Ladder 1 out of quarters and park on the opposite side of Hanover Street. Generally, most firehouses in Boston have ramps in front of the firehouse which allow enough space for the aerial and jacks to be set. Here are some shots of members checking the piece over.
