Do to the usual historical moves and due to the renumbering of divisions, some houses have hosted multiple divisions. 185 Lafayette St, Manhattan           DC1, DC2 115 W 33rd St, Manhattan             DC2, DC3 155 Mercer St, Manhattan               DC2, DC1 243 Lafayette St, Manhattan        ...

No ladder was ever organized at E206 either. One bay at E310 was lettered for L160 in 1927.  Never happened.  L174 wound up in that bay in 1966.  L160 organized later in 1984 at E326. L138 was scheduled for E288's house and L139 scheduled for E289's house.  Instead L138 organized at E289 and...

That's an interesting story to be told. A few other mystery moves: L58 instead of L60 E290/L103 instead of E296/L145 E287-2 - the only second section organized in its own station (not with the first section) Great history puzzles.

A few more: Engine 43 Fireboat berthed in Manhattan 1875-1903 and berthed in Bronx 1904 Engine 51 Fireboat berthed in Manhattan 1883-1908, berthed in Staten Island 1908-1916, berthed in Brooklyn 1916-1922, and back to Staten Island 1922-1959 Engine 66 Fireboat berthed in Manhattan 1898-1959...

Engine 38 is one of the handful of companies that have served in two Boros - in Manhattan until 1918, and in the Bronx ten years later in 1928. Technically, the same is true for Ladder 51 but in a different way.  Ladder 51 was in Brooklyn from 1899 to 1913 when they were renumbered as Ladder...

Engine 258's patch shows their organization date as 1891, which is the year that they were organized as a career company in the Long Island City FD. How do companies determine their organization date?  By the date they became part of FDNY?; or the date they became a career company in any...

Long Island City FD Battalion 1 became Battalion 15 FDNY in 1898, then was renumbered as Battalion 35 later in 1898, then renumbered as Battalion 45 in 1906. Brooklyn FD District Engineer 5 became Battalion 25 FDNY in 1898, then was renumbered as Battalion 35 in 1906. Both the Brooklyn and the...

Long Island City Ladder 1 initially became Ladder 15 FDNY for approximately 6 months in 1899, before being renumbered as Ladder 65 later in 1899, and then being renumbered as Ladder 115 in 1913.

Engine 256 quarters 1914 - 1974 (disbanded)

Former quarters of Long Island City FD Engine 3, FDNY Queens Engine 61, Engine 161, and Engine 261 from 1894 - 1932

Battalion 47 was organized as Battalion 37 in 1905 and renumbered as Battalion 47 in 1906 at the same location

Did any other Ladder Companies revert to aerial ladders after having tower ladders, like L29?

Originally, Battalion 46 came into the FDNY in 1898 as Queens Battalion 16 having been Long Island City Battalion 2. Later in 1898, Queens Battalion 16 was renumbered as the original Battalion 36. Battalion 36 was renumbered as Battalion 46 in 1906. It was at 40-08 Astoria Blvd since 1894.

A new firehouse was built on Roosevelt Island in 1981, after 49 was disbanded, potentially for 260, and was never assigned a regular engine or ladder.

Engine 80 moved to 69/28 and Ladder 23 moved to 37/40 on November 28, 2008 after a fire in their quarters. Does anyone recall how long they were relocated? The companies also relocated again for renovations in 2014. Does anyone know those dates?

451 E 176th St, Engine 46 was constructed in 1895 453 E 176th St, Ladder 27 was constructed in 1904 The two separate but adjacent firehouses can be seen looking at the roofs from an overhead view.

The two addresses usually reflect that the single building spans two lots.  This is the case for many buildings but usually only one of the addresses is used.  Not a big deal for firehouses, but it is challenge when buildings have entrances on multiple streets or vanity addresses.

Does E 220 & L 122 tie for that honor? Yes, 220/122 and quite a few others
