Here's a revised and expanded version of the original text, written in a more natural, human-like style with additional context and clarity to meet your requirements: --- This is from Phil Stenholm: **Evanston Fire Department – The Origin of the Companies** **ENGINE Co. 21** Organized as a part-time (paid) fire company on July 28, 1883. It was accepted for service on November 6, 1883, and became a full-time (paid) company on June 5, 1888. In June 1895, it was designated "Engine Co. 1," but later re-designated as "Engine Co. 21" in 1952. **ENGINE Co. 22** Formed as a full-time (paid) hose company at Station #2 on June 6, 1892. It was initially called "Hose Co. 2," then re-designated "Truck Co. 2" on February 15, 1903. On February 15, 1911, it became "Engine Co. 2," and finally re-designated as "Engine Co. 22" in 1952. **ENGINE Co. 23** Established as "Hose Co. 3" at Station #3 on January 31, 1901. It was re-designated "Truck Co. 3" in July 1907, then "Engine Co. 3" on January 2, 1912, and eventually became "Engine Co. 23" in 1952. **TRUCK Co. 21** Originally organized as "Truck Co. 1" at Station #1 on February 15, 1903. It was combined with Engine Co. 1 in 1912, and reorganized as "Truck Co. 1" in November 1917. It was re-designated "Truck Co. 21" in 1952, and later relocated to Station #3 and re-designated "Truck Co. 23" in 1990. **TRUCK Co. 22** Formed as "Truck Co. 2" at Station #1 on September 1, 1924. It was re-designated "Truck Co. 22" in 1952 and later moved to Fire Station #2 on March 12, 1955. **ENGINE Co. 24** Established as "Engine Co. 4" at Station #2 in November 1927. It was relocated to Station #4 on December 31, 1927, and re-designated "Engine Co. 24" in 1952. **ENGINE Co. 25** Organized as "Engine Co. 5" at Station #1 in November 1927. It was re-designated "Engine Co. 25" in 1952 and later moved to Station #5 on September 3, 1955. **TRUCK Co. 23** Formed as "Truck Co. 23" at Station #3 on September 3, 1955. It was disbanded on January 1, 1963, when its personnel were used to organize Squad Co. 21. Truck Co. 21 was later relocated to Station #3 and re-designated "Truck Co. 23" in 1990. **SQUAD Co. 21** Apparatus was placed in service in September 1952, staffed only when needed. It was officially organized as "Squad Co. 21" at Station #1 on January 1, 1963, and disbanded again in 1977, returning to a standby status. **OTHER FIRE COMPANIES THAT SERVED EVANSTON** **PIONEER FIRE COMPANY (volunteer)** Founded on January 4, 1873, chartered on January 6, 1873, and accepted for service on January 7, 1873. It was later known as "Pioneer Hose Company, No. 1" from December 1874 until it disbanded due to mass resignation on May 23, 1881. **C. J. GILBERT HOSE COMPANY (volunteer)** Organized and chartered in January 1875, accepted for service on August 6, 1875, and disbanded by mass resignation on May 23, 1881. **EVANSTON HOOK & LADDER COMPANY (volunteer)** Chartered on September 7, 1880, accepted for service on April 21, 1881, and disbanded by the Fire Marshal on July 28, 1883. **SOUTH EVANSTON FIRE COMPANY (volunteer)** Organized on July 16, 1888, and disbanded on June 6, 1892. It served under the South Evanston Fire Department before the village was annexed into Evanston in 1892. **NORTH EVANSTON FIRE COMPANY (volunteer/auxiliary)** Founded on October 1, 1888, and disbanded by the Fire Marshal on January 31, 1901. One thing that might confuse people is the history of Truck Co. 22. The current Truck Co. 22 wasn’t actually established until 1924. Prior to that, Hose Co. 2 was re-designated as Truck Co. 2 between 1902 and 1911 because they operated a 1902 Seagrave combination truck (a light-duty hose and chemical engine). When the 1895 Ahrens steamer was brought back into service at Station #2 in 1911, the company was re-designated as Engine Co. 2. Similarly, Hose Co. 3 was re-designated as Truck Co. 3 in 1907 when the 1884 Davenport H&L was put into service. Then, in 1912, when the same Ahrens steamer was stationed at Station #3, the company became Engine Co. 3. **1912 APPARATUS:** **STATION #1 (807 Grove Street):** - ENGINE 1: 1911 Robinson 700-GPM TCP (automobile) - TRUCK 1: 1907 American-LaFrance 85-ft HDA (four horses) - CHEMICAL 1: 1873 Babcock double 50-gal chemical-engine (two horses) - CHIEF’S BUGGY (two horses) **STATION #2 (750 Chicago Avenue):** - ENGINE 2: 1906 American LaFrance 700 GPM steamer (three horses) - TRUCK 2: 1902 Seagrave combination truck (H&L and chemical-engine), with hose box installed in 1907 (two horses) **STATION #3 (2504 West Railroad Avenue):** - ENGINE 3: 1895 Ahrens 600 GPM steamer (two horses) - TRUCK 3: 1884 Davenport H&L, with hose box installed in 1907 (two horses) (Note: The hose wagons at Stations 2 & 3 were taken out of service in 1907 when the trucks at those stations had hose boxes installed, providing four horses for the new aerial-ladder truck.) **1918 APPARATUS (after motorization):** **STATION #1:** - ENGINE Co. 1: ENGINE 1 – 1917 Seagrave 750 GPM TCP - TRUCK Co. 1: TRUCK 1 – 1917 Seagrave city-service H&L (no aerial-ladder) - ENGINE 4 (reserve): 1911 Robinson 750-GPM TCP - CHIEF’s BUGGY: 1917 Haynes automobile **ENGINE Co. 2 (two-piece company):** - ENGINE 2: 1918 Seagrave tractor pulling 1906 American LaFrance 700 GPM steamer - TRUCK 2: 1917 Seagrave 300-GPM TCP **ENGINE 3: 1917 Seagrave 300-GPM TCP** (Note: The 1907 American LaFrance 85-ft HDA that had been in service as Truck 1 was demolished in a collision with an Evanston Railway Co. street car at Grove & Sherman in 1916. It was not replaced, as the city had neglected to insure it properly. When the bond issue to motorize the Fire Dept. was framed in 1916, the EFD planned to acquire a tractor for the H&L, but ended up getting a city-service truck instead.) In 1924, after an NBFU inspection report stated they needed an 85-ft TDA, the city purchased one. This became Truck 1, and the former Truck 1 (the 1917 Seagrave city-service truck) became Truck 2 when Truck Co. 2 was organized at Station #1 in September 1924. It was supposed to be relocated to Station #4 on the west side, but that never happened. After the Boltwood School fire in January 1927, voters approved a bond issue, leading to the construction of Fire Station #4 and the purchase of two 1927 Seagrave Standard 1000-GPM TCPs. These went into service as Engine 2 and Engine 5, with Engine Co. 4 and 5 being formed. The old Engine 2 apparatus, along with furniture and personnel, was sent to the new Station #4. Engine 4 (the tractorized steamer that was Engine 2 from 1918–1927) was taken out of service in 1930 after a 500-GPM pump was installed on its booster-pumper. Following a 1937 bond issue, two Seagrave 750-GPM pumpers and one 65-ft service aerial ladder truck were purchased. The old Engine 1 (1917 Seagrave 750-GPM TCP) was sent to Station #4. A 1000-GPM TCP was placed into service as Engine 1 in 1949, with the old Engine 1 going to Station #4. In 1951–1952, the Pirsch fleet was acquired. The first truck (Truck 1) arrived in 1951, and the remaining four in 1952. The old Truck 1 tractor was converted to a Chicago FD-style high-pressure wagon with large-diameter hose and a turret nozzle. This rig was known as Squad 22 from 1952 to 1965. The 1937 Seagrave 65-ft service aerial ladder truck (ex-Truck 2) was placed into service as Truck 23 in 1955, but the company was disbanded in late 1962 due to lack of funding for a new ladder truck. Two Seagrave 1000-GPM open-cab engines (Engine 23 and Engine 24) were placed into service in 1958, replacing the older 750-GPM models. In 1966, the old Squad 21 (1952 Pirsch) was replaced with a new squad-engine built on an International-Harvester garbage truck chassis. It included a pump, water tank, squad body, hose beds, a turret nozzle, and a front-bumper winch. Squad 21 was the SS1 of the Evanston Fire Department during the 1960s and 1970s. It handled almost every call, including inhalator emergencies, car fires, trash fires, and extrication calls. It also operated the DUKW (F-7) for rescues on Lake Michigan. The old Squad 21 (1952 Pirsch) was converted to a standard pumper in 1966 and served as Engine 22 until 1970, then as Engine 25 until 1976. Last I heard, it was repurposed as playground equipment in a park near Asbury and South Blvd.
