Station 7

679 Somerville St.

     The Somerville Street station was erected in 1906, but it wasn't until January 11, 1908 that the first companies were organized. The apparatus consisted of a horse drawn steamer, hook & ladder and a hose wagon. Ladder 7 had the distinction of having the last horse drawn apparatus in the city. The station received its first motorized apparatus in June, 1924.

Engine and Truck 7 are still housed at the original location. The station underwent a major renovation in the spring of 2000 to what you see today.
