The Burning Question: How Many Fire Stations Are Keeping Boston Cool?
Living in a bustling metropolis like Boston, you gotta wonder - if the city's on fire (metaphorically or literally, no judgment), who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters? Nah, that's a different kind of spooky. Thankfully, Boston boasts a fire department that's hotter than a habanero pepper on a summer day (but way more useful). But how many stations are out there, ready to extinguish your fiery woes?

- The Classic Crew: There are definitely 33 engine companies and 21 ladder companies spread across the city. These guys are the backbone of the fire department, ready to hose down any blaze.
- The Specialty Squad: But wait, there's more! Boston also has a fire boat crew (because hey, water emergencies happen!), a heavy rescue squad for tough situations, and a spiffy tower unit that can reach new heights (because apparently fires like to go vertical sometimes).
The Grand Finale (Don't Worry, It's Not a Fire)
Adding up all the firetrucks, specialty vehicles, and maybe even a firehouse Dalmatian for good luck (unofficial mascot, don't sue me), you could argue there are more than 34 stations. But hey, who's counting when safety is the main objective?
So, the big reveal? Boston has a whole lotta fire stations, enough to keep the city safe and sound. Sleep easy, Bostonians, your firefighters are on the job!
