Engine Company 10 was organized September 16, 1920 at the then-new firehouse at 2500 Morgan Boulevard, in the Fairview section of Camden. The unit shared quarters with Ladder Company 4, which was organized on the same date. Ladder Company 4 was disbanded due to fiscal considerations in 1936. This firehouse was the first in Camden to be built after the department became motorized, and Engine 10 and Ladder 4 were the first two units to enter service after horse-drawn apparatus was withdrawn from use in Camden. Engine Company 10 briefly shared its quarters from 1986 to 1993 with Ladder Company 2, prior to that unit being relocated to the new Liberty Station at 1301 Broadway. Engine Company continues to protect Camden from its original location on Morgan Boulevard. |
