Windsor’s first Headquarters Fire Station was erected on the north side of Pitt Street East between Windsor Ave. and Mercer Streets in 1887. Opened in 1888, the handsome two-story fire hall had two apparatus bays, stalls for four fire horses and a lofty hose-drying tower at the rear. At the turn of the 20th century, the station housed a horse-drawn combination hose and chemical wagon and a hook and ladder truck with tiller rear steering.
