Milwaukee Fire Engine 6 rolled out of its east side station on Brady St. for the last time Monday morning.
Current and retired firefighters and neighbors came out shortly before 8 a.m. to bid farewell to the beloved firehouse and honor those who occupied it, keeping the neighborhood safe for generations.
"There were tears all around today," said Deb Langkau, a nearby resident. "You really got to see the brotherhood."
The station is one of six closing this month, a decision made in a tight city budget cycle. It is expected to be used in the future as the Fire Department's Community Relations and Education Office.
