It provides a detailed historical account of the Evanston Fire Department and its various companies over time. **Evanston Fire Department – The Origin of the Companies** **ENGINE Co. 21** Organized as a part-time (paid) fire company on July 28, 1883. Accepted for service on November 6, 1883. Became a full-time company on June 5, 1888. Re-designated as Engine Co. 1 in 1895. Later re-named Engine Co. 21 in 1952. **ENGINE Co. 22** Formed as a full-time hose company at Station #2 on June 6, 1892. Initially called Hose Co. 2, it became Truck Co. 2 in 1903, then Engine Co. 2 in 1911. Reverted to Engine Co. 22 in 1952. **ENGINE Co. 23** Established as Hose Co. 3 at Station #3 on January 31, 1901. Re-designated as Truck Co. 3 in 1907, then Engine Co. 3 in 1912. Later re-named Engine Co. 23 in 1952. **TRUCK Co. 21** Originally formed as Truck Co. 1 at Station #1 on February 15, 1903. Merged with Engine Co. 1 in 1912, then reorganized as Truck Co. 1 in 1917. Re-named Truck Co. 21 in 1952. Moved to Station #3 and re-designated as Truck Co. 23 in 1990. **TRUCK Co. 22** Founded as Truck Co. 2 at Station #1 on September 1, 1924. Re-named Truck Co. 22 in 1952. Later moved to Fire Station #2 in 1955. **ENGINE Co. 24** Established as Engine Co. 4 at Station #2 in November 1927. Relocated to Station #4 in December 1927. Re-named Engine Co. 24 in 1952. **ENGINE Co. 25** Formed as Engine Co. 5 at Station #1 in November 1927. Re-named Engine Co. 25 in 1952. Moved to Station #5 in 1955. **TRUCK Co. 23** Created as Truck Co. 23 at Station #3 on September 3, 1955. Disbanded in 1963, with personnel used to form Squad Co. 21. Truck Co. 21 returned to Station #3 and was re-designated as Truck Co. 23 in 1990. **SQUAD Co. 21** Apparatus placed in service in September 1952, but only staffed when needed. Officially organized as Squad Co. 21 at Station #1 in 1963. Disbanded in 1977. **OTHER FIRE COMPANIES THAT SERVED EVANSTON** **PIONEER FIRE COMPANY (volunteer)** Organized in January 1873. Chartered on January 6, 1873. Accepted for service on January 7, 1873. Known as Pioneer Hose Company No. 1 by 1874. Disbanded in 1881 due to mass resignation. **C. J. GILBERT HOSE COMPANY (volunteer)** Organized in 1875. Accepted for service in August 1875. Disbanded in 1881. **EVANSTON HOOK & LADDER COMPANY (volunteer)** Organized in 1880. Accepted for service in April 1881. Disbanded by the Fire Marshal in 1883. **SOUTH EVANSTON FIRE COMPANY (volunteer)** Formed in 1888. Disbanded in 1892, before being absorbed into Evanston’s system. **NORTH EVANSTON FIRE COMPANY (volunteer/auxiliary)** Established in 1888. Disbanded in 1901. One interesting point: Truck Co. 22, as it exists today, wasn’t actually formed until 1924. The confusion comes from earlier re-designations. For example, Hose Co. 2 was re-named Truck Co. 2 between 1902 and 1911 because they operated a 1902 Seagrave combination truck during that time. When the 1895 Ahrens steamer was finally brought back into service at Station #2 in 1911, the company was re-designated as Engine Co. 2. Similarly, Hose Co. 3 became Truck Co. 3 in 1907 after receiving an 1884 Davenport H&L, and later became Engine Co. 3 in 1912. In 1912, the apparatus at each station included: - **Station #1**: Engine 1 (Robinson 700-GPM TCP), Truck 1 (American LaFrance 85-ft HDA), Chemical 1 (Babcock), Chief’s Buggy. - **Station #2**: Engine 2 (American LaFrance 700-GPM steamer), Truck 2 (Seagrave combo). - **Station #3**: Engine 3 (Ahrens 600-GPM steamer), Truck 3 (Davenport H&L). By 1918, after motorization, the department had new equipment like the 1917 Seagrave 750-GPM TCP, and the old horse-drawn rigs were phased out. Later, in the 1920s, the city began acquiring motorized trucks, including a Seagrave TDA in 1924. This led to the formation of Truck Co. 2 at Station #1. In the 1930s and beyond, more modern equipment was introduced, including Pirsch engines and advanced ladder trucks. The Squad Co. 21, originally a Pirsch rig, became a versatile unit in the 1960s and 1970s, handling everything from car fires to lake rescues. Over time, it evolved into a full-service engine, and later became park equipment. This rich history reflects the evolution of the Evanston Fire Department from volunteer groups to a fully professional, modern fire service.
