Engine 46 firehouse may be spared

The New York-based owner of the Engine 46 firehouse in South Philadelphia said Wednesday that he would consider sparing the 19th-century landmark from demolition if a tenant can be found, according to City Councilman Mark Squilla.

Engine 46 survived the construction of I-95 through Pennsport. It is not clear whether the news about the permit will mean demolition.
