Talk:List of historic Toronto fire stations

Untitled
I suggest a merger with List of historic Toronto fire stations. Much information is duplicated. A list is handy apart from a full article, but there really isn't a fully article detailing the architecture and history of each station. If that's being developed, separate articles may be warranted, but as things stand, it's not. Ideas? Yoho2001 10:04, 24 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree. The information from List of historic Toronto fire stations should be merged into the Toronto Historic Fire Stations article. X96lee15 20:00, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Old Fire House Lombard Street
Why is the Old Fire House, former home of Second City on Lombard street not mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.246.60.185 (talk) 11:20, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Uh oh, unreferenced, out of date, and possible copyright violation...
424 was closed in 2014. The material about it is out of date, and reads like a possible copyright violation. Geo Swan (talk) 22:43, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Comprehensive? Cover former fire halls?
I don't think any station should be listed in this article unless there are good references for it. I doubt this list could easily be made comprehensive. The article should make that clear.

Should the article cover former fire halls? Sure, since several have been converted in theatres that still look like fire-halls. Geo Swan (talk) 22:43, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

A table, not a list?
I think this should be a table, not a list, with fields for date constructed, years active, and so on. Geo Swan (talk) 22:43, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Kingsway Lambton Volunteer Fire Hall
Hi: Does anyone have any information on the former Kingsway Lambton volunteer fire hall? It was the hall from where the famed Hurricane Hazel volunteer firefighters were dispatched to rescue a reported vehicle floating down the Humber River. The Hall was located on Government Road. One of the men who were swept off the truck lived on Government Road. He survived as did another man who lived behind the fire hall on Marquis. The man who lived on Marquis’ brother sadly died as did four other men.

I’ve found a photograph of the men in front of the truck and station, and of course it is widely known history yet nowhere do I see this hall listed. It was demolished in the ‘60’s and now is a residence. I grew up in that residence. Growing up my brothers and I used to like to dig in the backyard to unearth the red bricks of the hall buried there. We also had a fire helmet hung up in our home from the station.

Seems to me that this is imperative information to add to any list. Can anyone help? ValiumJS (talk) 14:47, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
