Before Engine 104’s station was closed, these were the last fire companies that operated out of there around the clock, 24/7. Michigan Avenue wasn’t very busy on weekends back then. After the station was shut down, Engine 104 was reassigned to Engine 1’s location, and Engine 4-2-4 was moved to Engine 26’s station. It was a truly sad moment for this historic firehouse.
