FDNY has operated with many federal, volunteer and industrial fire departments within NYC during its history. Some are still active. Others, like the NY Fire Patrol, are now disbanded. Some agencies in NYC have firefighting capabilities. Some of these departments responded with FDNY. Some were trained by FDNY. Most had protocols with FDNY.
Here are some of these departments and agencies (I know I have missed a lot):
Independent - NY Fire Patrol; United Nations FD
Volunteer - Rockaway Point FD; Edgewater Park VFD; West Hamilton Beach FD; Gerrittsen Beach FD; Oceanic H&L Co 1; Broad Channel VFD; Richmond Eng Co 1; Aviation VFD; Roxbury VFD; Point Breeze VFD
Other Agencies - Corrections; Port Authority; NYPD; Triborough Bridge Tunnel ?
Federal: National Park Service; USCG
Military (disbanded): Bklyn Navy Yard FD; Floyd Bennett Field FD; Governor's Island FD; Ft Totten FD ?; Ft Wadsworth FD?; Ft Hamilton FD?; Miller Field FD?; Sheepshead Bay Maritime Service Training Station FD?
Special - 1939 NY World's Fair FD; 1964 World's Fair FD
Industrial - ?

i find it very interesting that the worlds fair units are running all blue lights. i wonder what happened to those trucks. and does anyone know what corrections is using now? considering that those pictures are 11 years old I'm guessing that there fleet would have changed quite a bit since then Industrial - National Grid (formerly Brooklyn Union) Gas interesting that you mention this because my great uncle used to work for them (or another industrial fire department) as a firefighter at gulf port about 50 years ago does anyone have any picture of there rigs? |

As a kid I remember attending the 1964 Worlds Fair. Never knew that they had their own Fire Dept. If I had known that then, I probadly would have spent most of my time there. Also I really never knew of some of these Other Fire Depts. But still, there's ONLY ONE FDNY. |

Fort Hamilton has no firefighting assets provided by the US Gov. Governor's Island had an Engine supplied by the Coast Guard.

Jack Calderone published a book a few years ago titled "They Also Served" Information and pictures of all other fire apparatus or "Depatments" is included. Good book as always. http://www.fireapparatusjournal.com/node/18 |
