Engine Company 11 was originally organized as Hose and Chemical Company 1 on March 1, 1900, and entered service on that date in the East Camden firehouse at North 27th and Federal Streets. The unit was later relocated to a new headquarters at 901 North 27th Street in the Cramer Hill section of Camden. On January 1, 1924 the unit was reorganized as Engine Company 11, utilizing the same building at 901 North 27th Street. Engine Company continues to protect Camden from the Cramer Hill firehouse. |
