[Note: The print for the "Today" photograph is not in the files, but the caption for the photo in the Nonpareil reads: "Today...tells a different story. The No. 2 Fire Station was moved to a brand new building in 1941, at Twenty-eight St. and Broadway. The old fire barn was town [sic] down and the site is now occupied by a service station.]]> The lone fireman, who has stood for years in the middle of the fish pond on the west side of the Central Fire Station, may soon take up his vigil in a new location - in Fairview Cemetery.
