The 2nd picture is 211 South 4th street. When the current station 3 was built, this was turned into the Ambulance building & traffic Division. Was a total dump. Rumor was it was unsafe for firefighters, so they stuck EMS there.

We had to barricade the 3rd floor door, as it was a shooting gallery. The junkies would sneak in from the apt building behind it. I worked 5 or 6 overdoses up there. It stopped when the Feds seized the apt building.

A fire finally forced EMS into a trailer outside station #3

I stand corrected. Good catch, even if it took 7.5 months to catch
