Spotlight on Excellence:
Rescue 1's first quarters were built by the Howard Fire Company in 1830. The Firehouse at 102-104 North Paca St. was taken over by the newly formed Baltimore Fire Department. Eventually, Engine 1 was organized and moved in with the Assistant Chief of the Western District on February 15, 1859. Hook and Ladder 2 would later join them. In September of 1859, a new house adjoining to the current quarters on this site for Engine 1 was built.
Then in 1908, Christmas came early for Engine. On December 21st, Engine 1 moved into their brand new quarters at 323 North Paca St. House Box 338. Engine 1 would call this house a home until August 13, 1973.

Service & Bravery

A 4th shift was added. There have been numerous schedule changes including the 2-2-4 and the “Houston”. One thing that has stayed consistent is the run volume downtown.
