CFD â€“ new station construction update

July 02, 2025

Construction has officially started on the new firehouse at 53 E. Pershing Road, which will serve Engine 16, Ambulance 35, the EMS Field Division South, and 5-1-1. The old warehouse and basement on the site have been cleared, and foundation work is now underway, including the preparation of the footings.

This new station stands out in design compared to many of the recent firehouses, though it appears to be similar in style to the upcoming Engine 109 station at 2343 S. Kedzie Avenue.

The design of these two new stations features a more modern, squared-off look with large glass panels. Unlike most other stations, which have an angled awning roof over the apparatus bays, these new buildings have flat roofs. They also use different brick trim at the top of the walls and incorporate more interior glass instead of all-brick exteriors. The hose tower is square, unlike the rounded ones seen in some other stations. Additionally, these stations feature both horizontal and vertical windows, whereas previous designs often used only one type.
Engine 18's house at 1360 S. Blue Island Avenue has much less glass in the design than the newer stations. This building also features the angled awning-like roof over the apparatus bays. Hank Sajovic photo

This house at 21 W. 59th Street is home to Engine 84, Truck 51, Ambulance 36, and Deputy District 5. This building has a rounded hose tower which differs from the square design for Engine 16 and Engine 109. Hank Sajovic photo

This house in the 9th Battalion is known as the 'Full House' since it is home to Engine 59, Engine 70, Truck 47, Ambulance 13 and Battalion 9. Located at 6030 N. Clark Street, it has no hose tower and a much smaller footprint on the 'front' end when compared to Engine 18's house. Hank Sajovic photo
Stations with a hose tower also include a conventional door built into the overhead door near the street, which is not present in stations without this feature.
Engine 63's house at 1440 E. 67th Street has the rounded hose tower like Engine 84's house. This design also has more glass above the apparatus bays when compared to the stations without the hose towers. Hank Sajovic photo
