Firehouses

/ˈfaɪərhaʊzɪz/ noun

Definition

Buildings where firefighters live and work, equipped with fire trucks and equipment to respond to emergencies.

Etymology

Compound of 'fire' (from Old English 'fyr') and 'house' (from Old English 'hūs'). The term emerged in the 18th century as organized firefighting became institutionalized in cities.

Kelly Says

The oldest continuously operating firehouse in the US, the Fire Department's Engine Company No. 1 in New York City, has been protecting the same neighborhood since 1865—over 150 years of the same mission!
