Next year is their centennial, marking a century of legendary achievements.

Usually when I walk my dog, I take her to firehouses. Thankfully due to being in Brooklyn there are a lot within walking distance. Recently I noticed both E*248's and E*250's firehouses are lettered for trucks. Anyone have an idea what companies they were or were supposed to be.
