Mimico Fire Department

The Mimico Fire Department was a volunteer department in the Township of Etobicoke. The department operated from a single-bay fire station at 13 Superior Avenue until disbandment in 1967.

History
A combined Fire Hall/Police Station was designed in 1929 by James, Proctor & Redfern Ltd.Construction began that summer and was completed by the fall at a total cost of $7,500. The builder was a local resident by the name of Andrew Crowe. The hall officially opened in late September/early October 1929.

A second storey was added to the structure sometime prior to 1955.

In 1967 the Town of Mimico merged with neighbouring municipalities to form the Borough of Etobicoke. With full-time, paid firefighters of the Etobicoke Fire Department protecting Mimico from nearby Station 1 (now Toronto Fire Station 433) and Station 9 (now Toronto Fire Station 435), the need for a volunteer department in Mimico no longer existed and the agency was disbanded. The department's apparatus were transferred to the Etobicoke Fire Department.

Following disbandment, the building later housed an ambulance station. In September 2006 the structure was added to the City of Toronto’s Inventory of Heritage Properties for its cultural heritage value.

The station was demolished in 2012 to make way for a condominium development at 11 Superior Avenue.
