| Indianapolis Fire Department Station 16 -
5555 North Illinois Street - Meridian-Kessler Opened on April 21, 1932, this historic station had to have its garage doors enlarged to make room for the newer larger engines. Located in the affluent Meridian Kessler area, Station 16 is one of IFD's quietest stations with an average of just 3 runs per day. |

| Engine 16 - 1996 Pierce Lance II Custom -2000gpm Hale pump/500gal/40gal foam | ||
| This Engine and Engine 13 were twin 1996 models and were the first Engines at IFD to be considered "High Rise" pumpers due to their higher pump capacity. Their 2000gpm pumps offer higher pressure for supplying standpipe systems in downtown buildings and can provide necessary pressure to fully elevated aerial devices. They can also assist in moving water through 5" supply lines over longer distances while keeping adequate pressure. Since that time, this has become the standard at IFD and allows for the rigs to be reassigned with no concerns for pumping or foam capabilities. |

| Previous Engine 16 - 1991 Grumman Custom Pumper - 1250gpm/500gal This apparatus had been on the replacement list for some time, but a larger pumper could not fit into the historic station. Engine 16 was the last Grumman retired from active use by the department. |
