Mikeindabronx I believe resides in this Norwood neighborhood so maybe he can back me up here. A little local stuff on Parkside Place. It runs for just a few blocks, parallel to Webster Avenue, on an up and down slope, creating a bluff overlooking the the Metro-North line and the Bronx River...

probably not 79 from 62's quarters. more likely 75.

[QUOTE="tommyhal&oat, post: 331497, member: 84 you are correct about to even distribution across the city. but I'm not saying that "closest" is the criteria. " Closer" is my operative word. Relocate a North Brooklyn company to Fordham and backfill it from Staten Island. less time that L56 is...

There was no company closer than L83 anywhere in the city to relocate to L56, which then could have been backfilled by 83? I'll bet that's an hour haul from Staten Island to Fordham. Maybe split it up in increments?

E46? Looks like they should have been third due, but then relocated to 82, then relocated by 64. A little confusing perhaps? Also, seems a lot of ABCs in the mix lately.

As the French say, "Plus ca change, plus ca la meme chose".... The more things change the more things remain the same.

Very doubtful, based on recent responses of both companies and the great amount of work that will have to be done on that Briggs Avenue Firehouse.

Crazy Guggingham... Brooklyn born Gleason probably playing on Jewish and Irish neighborhood names.

Among others, Father O'Brien served on the faculty of Xavier High School in Manhattan in St Peters and Jersey City.

Some of you may be familiar with Father Dan O'Brien, Jesuit priest, who served as chaplain for the Fire Bell Club of New York and the FDNY Honorary Fire Officers Association, who passed away early last week. He (along with many of his family ) were lifelong members of the Valley Stream (Long...

Love reading the obits of gentlemen such as this. Such a full life of service, contribution, and family. Thanks for posting Chief.

Great question Great question Mc... Great answer 73. Imagine trying to tap all that stuff out on the bells.

If you sort this one out the response here should have been... 42 46 75 92 48 27 33 44F 56 43 88 45 59 38 58 Can you just hear the bells clanging away in the old days (with all the SC 5s and 7s) to fill out the response for this box with all those companies OOS elsewhere? The bells...

80 to 90 13 to 50 More long relocating runs. Might it not be better to jump units closer distances, say 71 to 90 and then 80 to 71? But then I don't know the overall situation at the time so I guess I'm just making noise. ☹️

52 now leaves Riverdale to relocate? Long run from 22 to 88.
