About Engine 43 by Joe O'Brien
Engine 43 was organized in 1887 with Truck 14 at 2179 N Stave St. when the Town of Jefferson Park was annexed into Chicago. The original firehouse was built in 1883 and used by the Jefferson Park volunteer fire department’s Engine 1, Chemical 1, and Hook & Ladder . In 1916 the building was torn down and a new 2 story 2 bay firehouse replaced it at the same address. Truck 13 move out in 1890 to a new firehouse at Diversey and Rockwell. The new firehouse had a bay floor size of 39 x 5, when Engine 43 moved into the new house they were given a motorized engine steamer which was a 1916 Christie/Ahrens, the hose wagon was a 1912 Harder. In 1919 Squad 6 was organized in this house. Squad 6’s 1952 Autocar was also produced by Fire Replicas. For you Backdraft or Chicago Fire fans, Engine 51 ran from this house from 1976 to 1980 due to the high number of arson fires in Humboldt Park Engine 51 was taken out of service here. Engine 43 has a patch displaying the area of "Logan Square".
