Engine 27 / Ladder 8
As the southwest side of Detroit grew in the early 1900’s the need for fire coverage grew as well. Engine 27 opened in 1902 in a station designed by Malcolmson and Higginbotham on Junction at Rogers Street. Ladder 8 relocated to Engine 27 in 1928 after their station at Dix and Vinewood closed. Engine 27 was disbanded in 1979 but reopened after Engine 22 was closed.
In 2006, a replacement station for Engine 27 and Ladder 8 was built and opened on Fort Street and Junction.
