Directions to the Center

  


        We are located in the Fire Headquarters Complex near Harvard Square, Cambridge. This complex houses Fire Headquarters, Engine 1, Ladder 1, and the Fire Rescue companies at 491 Broadway as well as the adjoining Emergency Communications Center (ECC) facility at 489 Broadway.

        The Center can be reached by car by passing through Harvard Square northbound on Massachusetts Avenue and bearing right though the tunnel underpass. Stay in the center lane and bear right onto Broadway upon exiting the underpass. Pull over into the parking area of the fire complex about 50 yards before the traffic light (at the intersection of Broadway and Quincy).

        Parking is very restricted. On-street parking (at a meter) can sometimes be found on Cambridge, Quincy or Broadway within 1-2 blocks of the Center.

        The Center can also be reached by taking the MBTA (subway) Red Line to Harvard Square and walking about 7 minutes through Harvard Yard to the north side of the Yard where the Center is located between the Yard and Memorial Hall.
