Firehouse - Cleveland Park, Washington, DC

Winter Fire Safety: Keep Fire Hydrants Clear of Snow - The Allstate Blog You can help protect your home by keeping fire hydrants accessible and clear of ice and snow.

Great photo of Engine Co. 28 - Truck 14 nearing its final phase of construction in the up and coming neighborhood of Cleveland Park (circa 1916). Historically in DC, building a firehouse stimulated neighborhood development in the early 20th century.

Its the little things. A big thanks to DC FEMS Property Management for putting the finishing touches to the renovation at Engine Co. 28. A new flag pole! (Special thanks to Liutentant Stanley Jaworski for the photos.)

With much thanks to Ed Smith, President - IAFF Local 36 and DC Fire Property Management, Private Chamberlin has been officially memorialized in perpetuity by DC Council Proclamation with a bronze plaque now affixed to the front of his last firehouse, Engine 28–Truck 14 (Cleveland Park). And, just down the block from where he perished on March 1, 1965 at the Club Soda. What started out as a desire to renovate the firehouse in his name (January 2010) has now concluded with the hanging of a plaque recognizing my Grandfather as the sole Fallen Firefighter in a Line of Duty Death at this firehouse. A 6 ½ year journey developing a deep understanding for what it means to be a career firefighter in the 20th and now 21st century in DC and throughout the U.S. RIP.

With the conclusion of an important historical community project earlier this year, the CPCA worked with other Cleveland Park neighborhood organizations to host an open house for residents to stop in and tour the newly renovated firehouse. Working with Engine 28 Captain Robert Leland and other members of DC Fire Emergency Medical Services (DC FEMS), the firehouse opened its doors to the community on Sunday, June 8, 2014. Firefighters turned on the grill and graciously cooked more than 200 hamburgers and hot dogs. Clowns Judy, Gary and Sarah greeted children with creative balloon creations and the fire trucks were available for those special parent photos ops of little ones.

Today is Firemen's Memorial Day. Please take a moment to remember our fallen firefighters.
