La colère est nécessaire ; on ne triomphe de rien sans elle, si elle ne remplit l'âme, si elle n'échauffe le cœur ; elle doit donc nous servir, non comme chef, mais comme soldat.
Aristote
SPSF painted SF30C #9551 leads a mixed bag of engines Eastbound on the North Main of Cajon Pass in December of 1986.
The Central Fire Hall, designed by Walter W. LaChance, was built in 1919.
Constructed in the Edwardian Classical style, the Central Fire Hall exhibits a wide array of distinct architectural features. While still maintaining the striking elements of red brick fire stations of the 1800's, the hall features an unusual basilica plan, which was built on a 45 degree angle, across the property, with a hexagonal apse at either end. The fire hall showcases a high brick drying tower fitted with a four faced clock complimenting its other architectural features. The Edwardian Classical Revival style is evident in several of the building's stylized elements, including the first floor ornamental stone blocks, the high stone base, the second floor's slight projections, and the wide keystone and two flanking stone voussoirs, which highlight the round headed windows on the third storey. A Greek acroterion, resembling an old fashioned fire helmet, is evident above each of the four dormers, adding to the fire hall's distinct character. The mixture of brick and stone trim adds to the building's visual appeal, and other impressive features include the parapet gables of the central block, the overhanging roof eave, and the large sash windows and the doors with rectangular transoms. The interior displays beautiful twin oak staircases and two brass fire poles with their original security gates. Portions of the original tin ceiling are evident in places, and hardwood flooring on the second floor adds to the splendour of the interior.
