LAD*174 was organized in April 1966 mostly using Members from the then disbanded SQ*8 from Lower Manhattan .....the placement was primarily to relieve "heat" from LAD*120 & a few surrounding LADs North & North East as the FDNY War Years were taking off...years later I had many good job's with 310/174 as a FF in R*2 & also as a Cov LT in DV*15 on "Snyder Island"....always a Class Place.
