Spotlight on Excellence:
"The Hyde Park Cowboys"
On annexation day, January 1, 1912, two hose wagons and one ladder truck were transferred to the Boston Fire Department and a new fire company was organized.
Â
Thus, Hose Company 48, Ladder Company 28, and Chemical Engine Company 14 were organized. On February 2, 1912, Hose 48 was designated Engine Company 48. On June 23, 1920 Chemical 14 was disbanded.
Serving the Hyde Park, Roslindale, Readville, West Roxbury, Mattapan, and Dorchester Area
The old quarters of Engine 48 and Ladder 28 had been the Headquarters of the old Hyde Park Fire Department from the days before Hyde Park was annexed to Boston in 1912. That building is no longer extant.
Â
On December 14, 1972, Engine 48 and Ladder 28 moved into a new firehouse at 60 Fairmount Street, several blocks away. The firehouse at 30 Winthrop Street was closed.
Â
The building remained standing for some time after the Fire Department vacated, however, it was demolished at a later date.
