Lynn, Massachusetts Fire Station (1957) Type 1 photograph «Lynn Fire Station – Built in 1878. Hook & Ladder No. 1; Extinguisher No. 1; Hose No. 4; Engine # 4. July 26, 1957 – Lynn, Mass.» On March, 1877, Hook and Ladder Trucks came into being, two being placed into service, on at Mulbry Street and the other at Federal Street. Chemical companies were organized, finally having five, in the various outlying sections of the town. A fire fighter named Holbrook of the Lynn Department perfected a «quick hitch» for the harness of fire horses. He also developed the sliding pole. On November 26, 1889, Lynn sustained a conflagration that reduced the center of the newly chartered City to ashes. Many studies were conducted as a result. Some of the innovations that came into being as a result were the abolishing of the Board of Fire Engineers, Chief Engineer Moody was made the permanent full-time chief, Thomas Ray, a hero of the Civil War and a company «foreman» was named Deputy Chief while Assistant Engineer John A. Roberts was named Assistant Chief (title later changed to that of District Chief). On April 6, 1905, at 0800 hours, the department was placed under Civil Service for all employees excepting the Chief and Substitute Call-Men. A full review of the department with these changes are treated, in capsule form, below. It is most interesting to note at that time the fire alarm system in total was placed under the jurisdiction of the Electrical Department, even the fire alarm operators today are not under the control of the Fire Department. The organization and structure of the Lynn Fire Department as of 0800 hours on April 6, 1905 was as follows: 6 engine companies – steamer and hose wagon 4 ladder companies – one aerial and three service trucks 5 chemical companies This apparatus was stationed in six fire stations under the direction and management of Chief Engineer Thomas Harris, Deputy Chief Thomas Ray and Assistant Chief John Roberts. Headquarters was at the Broad Street Station with Engine 4, Ladder 3 and Chemical 1. The Deputy Chief was stationed at the Commercial Street Station with Engine 1, while the Assistant Chief Roberts was stationed at the Fayette Street Station with Engine 5 and Ladder 1. At this time each company had a captain, lieutenant and from three to four permanent firefighters on duty. They were augmented by call fire fighters and during off periods for sickness, vacations, etc. were supplemented by substitute call men The men worked «round the clock» with a day off in eight provided that there were no fires. The hours changed at various times and by the time the abolishment of the call fire department in 1920, the on-duty permanent men were granted on day off in five. The structure and organization operated along these lines from 1905 until the dawn of World War 1 when a depletion of fire fighters existed due to men entering the service of their country. One fire fighter, Thomas Noonan of Ladder 1, was killed in France and is buried in a National Gravesite on foreign soil. However, we note that the end of the horse drawn fire apparatus was appearing during this period. The Lynn Fire Department was the first department of any size to be fully motorized. Starting in 1910 when Chemical 3 became the first piece of motorized fire apparatus and continuing through until 1913 when Chemical 4 was motorized, the department underwent a major change with the complete motorization of all units. The steam fire engines (all of the Metropolitan Class/Type) had tractors attached to their frames. These were the American-British (called the A&B) type. The ladder trucks were provided with the famous (or infamous) three wheel Knox-Martin Tractors. The hose wagon bodies were installed on Federal Truck chassis. Chemical wagons were replaced with either Pope-Hartford or Knox Chemical Trucks. The combination hose/chemical company at Broadway was replaced by a heavy duty Seagrave hose truck provided with chemical tanks, ladders, high pressure gun, etc. and its designation was changed from Combination 1 to Chemical 5. Likewise a squad unit was purchased and placed into service at Commercial Street. The District Chief of the Western District also used this vehicle for his district automobile. It was designated Squad A. A motor mechanic was hired and thus we have the beginnings of a maintenance unit within the department. On October 13, 1919, after a considerable delay due to shortages of manpower resulting from enlistments into World War 1, a new engine company (Engine 7) was activated and located at the newly constructed bungalow station in the Pine Hill section at 109 Woodlawn Street. Some observers believe that this was the first triple combination pumper in Lynn, but that is not so. During the period of motorization stated above, Engine 2 was provided with an Ahrens Fox pumper, a relic even in its prime, one of the few with the two parallel air chambers. This unit, however was short lived. While no records are firmed on the subject, many retired fire fighters have told the story of various pumpers being delivered into Lynn for this unit and were unable to meet the acceptance tests. Names of fire apparatus such as Webb, Stutz, McCann, etc have been mentioned in connection with this subject but no records have been found to prove or disprove the stories. Thus in capsule form, based on records and folk-lore, we have tried to trace from the inception of the settlement now known as the City of Lynn to the point in time when the department underwent a major change both in organization and operation with the implementation of the Two-Platoon System. Thus the first phase of the department had grown from its origins and this is the way it was «In The Beginning».
