Heros - Firemen of 10 House, NYC

FDNY Ten House, Engine Company 10 and Ladder Company 10, 124 Liberty Street, is across the street from the World Trade Center site. The Ten House is one of only two of the 220 FDNY firehouses that house an engine and ladder company with the same numbers.  FDNY Engine Company 52 and Ladder Company 52 are housed together in the Bronx.

This firehouse was built in 1979.   Engine Company 10 was formed 9/8/1865. Its first location was at 28 Beaver Street, and after various locations and a number of years was brought here to 124 Liberty street on 6/11/1980.   Ladder Company 10 was formed 10/20/1865. Its first location was at 28 Ann Street, and after many years and numerous locations was brought to Liberty street on 7/1/1984.

The two companies were displaced a few months after 9/11/2001, but the firehouse remained the command center for the remaining time of recovery. Engine 10 and Ladder 10 remained in service but were relocated to neighboring companies.   This firehouse was then rebuilt and on 11/5/2003 "Tenhouse” was reopened.
