From Tom Reiss: E12 was organized at 215 Belmont Ave (later Irvine Turner blvd) in 1894. It was the first company added to the fully paid NFD. T5 was organized in 1898 at 213 Belmont ave. At some point the two separate buildings were attached with an addition built in between the buildings. Both units remained here until moving to the new Clinton Ave firehouse in 2003. E12 was disbanded in 2011.
