In addition to Houston, LA, and Chicago there is LA County. Note that some of those departments work three shifts, others four shifts. No department staffs units with as many people and many more units would need to be present to equal the number of FDNY firefighters. No other department can...

Counting firehouses is not the best way to evaluate fire resource deployment. Too many assumptions about company availability, staffing, roads and traffic, and types of responses have changed over time. Saving hundred year old stable buildings can be done by repurposing them as shops...

South Bronx Battalion The growing FDNY began establishing companies in the Bronx in 1874. Two engine companies, two ladder companies, and four chemical engines were organized as the 10th Battalion of what is now the South Bronx. As companies were added in Manhattan, two new battalions were...

Yes. An interesting situation. When E319 was in the 46 Battalion, they were part of Division 14. When E319 was in the 59 Battalion, they were part of Division 13. They were also in the 51 Battalion in the 50's and 60's, which was in Division 13. Interesting but not unprecedented. In the...

Division 14, Queens North, was organized in 1927 to split Division 11. Two battalions, originally part of the Long Island City Fire Department and both located entirely in Queens, comprised the original Queens only division. From 1965 to 1975, the Division was split by Division 16. The...

There have been a few odd balls over the years. (Battalions with no companies, battalions with more trucks than engines, etc) L175's moves left BC37 with no trucks for a while. Strange things happen, especially with temporary moves.

Actually, by noticing the discrepancy with L58, it led to another discrepancy with L56 and BC56, and a problem with dates. All have been corrected. All from the original typo. Your help is appreciated.

Being 'closer' doesn't help much if the company cannot get there. Land engines cannot cross the river. (Upsets the horses.) A fireboat can get there but it doesn't leave the water. (Damages the hull) In 1908, the bridges had not yet been built; all companies were horse drawn, and relocations...

Great sharp eyed catch! Sometimes the rows on the spreadsheet get misaligned. Thanks! L56 moved in with E48 in 1981, in the process moving from BC56 to BC18. They returned to BC56 with E48 in 1987.

Battalion 18 originally covered The Bronx to the north of Crotona, Morrisania and Highbridge, and to the west from the Bronx River to the Westchester County line. It was split in 1930 by Battalion 19. A second section was established in 1965, which became Battalion 56 in 1967, remaining in...

Engine 16 had two sections from 1883 to 1939. No need to cover them if one section went to the islands.

Engine company numbers were permanently assigned to a specific fireboat and followed it to wherever it was berthed in the early years of the marine fleet. Engine 51 was assigned to the 'Zophar Mills'. The Zophar Mills (Engine 51) replaced the the 'William F Havemeyer' (Engine 43) at the East...

Midtown Manhattan Division 3 While the many and varied fire protection issues of Midtown Manhattan’s Division 3 are not necessarily unique to this division, the intense concentration of all of them within this small area of New York City creates an endless supply of complex challenges. From its...
