Science and Forestry has developed a graduate research center which will be run out <strong>of</strong> the<br />

The <strong>Onondaga</strong> <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Firebarn</strong> was built in the craftsman style to complement neighborhood<br />
houses, the facility was known as Fire Station 21. It originally had horse-drawn firefighting<br />
equipment. The facility was taken out <strong>of</strong> use in 1973 as part <strong>of</strong> a reconfiguration <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Syracuse</strong><br />
Fire Department.<br />
“This facility will be a strong asset in the portfolio <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Park</strong>s Department,” said Baye<br />
Muhammad, Commissioner <strong>of</strong> <strong>Park</strong>s, <strong>Re</strong>creation, and Youth Programs. “We are glad to see this<br />
building has been renovated and completed can now be put back into use for the community.”<br />
