Nana Chowk Fire Brigade

 One of the earliest fire stations in Bombay was established in the 1920s at Nana Chowk. The fire station is listed as a Grade III heritage site by the Mumbai Heritage Conservation Committee. As part of the Fire Brigade headquartered at Byculla, it has developed over the years, from horse-drawn steam engines putting out fires in the vicinity to large fire engines handling emergencies and major disasters.
