At the turn of the twentieth century, Fire Chief John A. Roe requested a new station to serve the north end of the city. In 1909, No. 4 Fire Station was built on the corner of Colborne and St. James streets, and No. 5 was built on Adelaide Street. Architect Arthur E. Nutter designed both stations in an abstract Italianate style, featuring a simplified Tuscan tower, broad eaves, and pilasters above the fire hall door. These stations complement the residential streetscape.
Retired fire officers will be on hand to conduct guided tours. A public educator will provide fire safety information and provide fire safety colouring books and stickers to children who attend. The in-service crew of a fire captain and 3 firefighters will provide tours of Engine No. 4 when they are not responding to alarms. They will even slide down the fire pole to amuse children and grown-ups alike.
