Construction of the new station continues at a brisk pace. You can now get a fairly good idea of the overall shape of the building. This photo was taken March 9, 2007 and shows that the roof over the apparatus bays looks close to completion and that the exterior brick and stone work has been started.

All running cards showed the response of Squad 52 on the 1st or 2nd alarm. Although Squad 1 was assigned to all boxes on the 1st or 2nd, most cards did not notate their response unless they were due on the first.

Not sure if there really was a fire here, or if this was a drill. Engine 9 is parked on Reading Road in front of their quarters sometime in the 1950's.
