Station G at 665 Washington St. was opened in late 1899 and is still active today as Fire Station No. 7. It housed three companies: Hook and Ladder #1, Combination Company #4, and Steam Engine #2. It is probable that the station has recently opened here as there are no inscriptions yet on the entrances.

After a brief initial stint housing Hose Company #4 the station transitioned to Combination Company #4. This is likely the combination wagon which would have acted as a quick-response vehicle carrying hoses, chemical extinguishers, and equipment.

The man standing on the left is reported to be Selden Robert Allen, lieutenant, a future chief of the department. He transferred from the Hose Company #1 in the Village Square when the station opened and moved again circa 1902 to the Devotion St. station.
