This the Capital's very first fire station in Katarina parish on the island Södermalm just south of the Old Town in Stockholm City was inaugurated in 1876.

It was a reformation of the voluntary fire defence system, to a system very much like the military and with similar order hierarchy, and it has worked ever since!

This fire station has been manned around the clock since 1876, and I dare say it's one of the oldest, if not the oldest still operational fire station in the world!

The operational area are primarily the island Södermalm and the Old Town, including the Royal Palace and the Parliament.
The station has also the responsibility for fire rescue in Stockholm harbour and for this purpose they have moored at the lock Slussen, a fire boat of the type Combat boat 90H (modified).
