History
Detroit's Engine Company No. 11 was organized as the "Steam Fire Engine Company #11" on January 1, 1884. The original equipment included a horse-drawn Silsby Steam engine and hose reel cart.[ The company converted to motorized operation in 1916, obtainingn a Seagrave gasoline propelled pumping engine.]
The firehouse tower on the southeast side of the building was shortened during World War II so an air raid siren could be installed.[ In 1972, Engine Company No. 11 moved to new quarters. The building was used by the Emergency Medical Unit until 1976, and is now a Detroit Fire Department museum, containing contains several pieces of historic fire fighting equipment.]
