CFD – new station construction update

July 02, 2025

Construction has officially begun 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 have been cleared from the site, and foundation work is now underway, with preparations for the footings already in progress.

This new building stands out from most recent firehouse designs, though it closely resembles the one being built for Engine 109 at 2343 S. Kedzie Avenue.

The design of these two stations features a more modern, squared-off look with large glass panels. Unlike traditional firehouses with sloped awning-style roofs over the apparatus bays, these new buildings have flat roofs. They also use different brick trim along the top of the walls and incorporate more interior glass instead of solid brick. The hose tower is square, unlike the rounded versions found in other stations. Additionally, these new stations include both horizontal and vertical windows, whereas older ones typically only had one type.

Chicago Fire Department Engine 84 fire station

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 hose towers also feature a conventional door built into the overhead door near the street, offering an additional emergency exit.
