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.
The tall fire fighter is John F. (“Jack”) Norton who worked as a ladderman at the station between late 1905 and 1908. The men are standing in front of the entrance to Hook and Ladder #1 and it can be speculated that the four men shown are the same four who worked as laddermen on the hook and ladder wagon from 2006-2008: Daniel J. McCarthy, Joseph Strannaham, John F. Norton, and Thomas F. Kelley. incl. Streets
