Description

Corrected:Β 

Firehouse located on North Waller Avenue, approximately one block from North Central Avenue. It has been told and seen by many that there is a ghost walking around and protecting the firehouse from crime and bad happenings, due to the fact that a lot of people were saved from fires by firefighters in what was a high fire area back in the day. It is known to be a haunted firehouse, with the fire pole covers being opened when they are closed and numerous footsteps walking around the firehouse when all are sleeping. The fire doors have opened on their own numerous times before the bells ring for fires; they have opened almost instantly when no one has opened them.

 

Original:

The firehouse located on Central and Lake St., one block west of Central on Lake, is widely believed to be haunted. It has been told and seen by many that a ghost walks around, protecting the firehouse from crime and other bad happenings. This is attributed to the fact that many people were saved from fires by firefighters, as the area was a known high-fire zone in the past. The firehouse is known for paranormal activity, with fire pole covers opening on their own when closed and numerous footsteps walking around when all are sleeping. The fire doors have also opened by themselves numerous times before the bells even ring for fires, opening almost instantly when no one has touched them.
