BOSTON FIRE
STATIONS
The Boston Fire Department is one of the oldest and most
historic.
Among its fire houses is the iconic Back Bay fire station on Engine 33 and
Ladder 15
at 941 Boylston St. The station once also housed Boston Police Station 16.
This historic station is first due to the landmark Prudential building and
Fenway Park, home of the 2018 World Champion Boston Red Sox.
