Didn't know that it has a Bronx designation. I always considered it in Queens

Just found a Manhattan designation on a search

The FDNY Fire Academy is located in the borough of Manhattan, specifically on Randall's Island. It's situated where the boroughs of Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx meet near the Triboro Bridge, according to the National College Credit Recommendation Service. The academy is also sometimes referred to as "The Rock" by

In 1900 there were four special building boxes (preliminary signal 3) on Randall's Island used by the fire alarm office on East 67th Street.

331- Child's Hospital
332- East side of Island
333- Boy's House Refuge
334- Randall's Island

All four boxes had the same running assignment: Engine 16, Engine 51, H&L 14, and the Chief of the 12th Battalion

In 1900, all street boxes north and east of the Harlem River (Borough of The Bronx) were transmitted with Preliminary Signal 2
