The new Station D at 827 Boylston St. opened December 8th, 1930. It was built to address the issue of inadequate coverage of the rapidly-growing area west and south of Chestnut Hill Ave. and replaced the old Station D. across the street at 796 Boylston St. The new station was equipped with three pieces of equipment: a new 85-foot aerial ladder truck, a new hose tender, and a rebuilt Engine #4 that had been housed in the old station across the street.

On the left is Engine #4 which was crewed by Thomas J. Burke, captain; Thomas J. Grennan, lieutenant; Alexander G. DeLorie, George H. Dunn, John J. Costello, James L. Love, Thomas J. Mahon, Robert J. O’Connor, William H. O’Connor, Michael F. Tonra, hose men.

On the right is Ladder #3 which was crewed by Patrick H. Kirrane, Richard E. O’Day, lieutenants; John L. Fay, John H. Hinchley Jr., Frank X Love, John M Mealey, John H. Mitchell, John E. Patterson, James Priestly, Michael A. Rourke, ladder men; Thomas Curry, Daniel F. Donovan, Joseph P. Harrington, Patrick J. Hogan, Francis H. Norton, hose men
