HISTORYThis firehouse was opened on December 18, 1984 when Engine Company 28 and Ladder Company 10 moved in from their prior quarters at 659 Centre Street, a few blocks away. Engine 28 and Ladder 10 had occupied the old firehouse since 1874 when the Town of West Roxbury was annexed to the City of Boston. The firehouse is located at 746 Centre Street in the Jamaica Plain section of Boston, at the corner of Greenough Street. The Deputy Fire Chief of Division 2 shares quarters in this firehouse. A plaque is mounted on the exterior of the firehouse to commemorate a firefighter who died in the Line Of Duty:
