Order an Image
In 1903, Fire Station No. 24 opened on Fifth Avenue West at West Galer Street. Until the mid-1920s, the station housed fire companies using horse-drawn ladder and hose wagons. The building was remodeled in 1925 when the department bought motorized fire trucks. The station was closed in 1949.

This photo, taken around 1905, shows Station No. 24 on Queen Anne Hill. A three-horse ladder wagon and a two-horse wagon stand outside.
