Yes, Brooklyn FD Ladder 5 was disbanded for 12 years before being reorganized in a new location.  Thanks.

Squad 7 shared quarters with Engine 212 for a few years.

Historically, earlier company numbers have been re-used for new companies.  Re-established companies, after more than 4 years absence, include 4, 38, 39, 66, 69, 72, 85, 89, 154, 232, 251, 294, 326, 331 and 332, also ladders 10, 16, 18, and 53.  Engines 154, 294 and Ladder 53 were simply...

What happened in the Battalion 37 in 1985 when Ladder 175 moved in with Engine 332?  Looks like the 37th had no ladders from 1985 until 1987 when Ladder 176 came in.

Thanks turk.  It had to have happened after 1984 and before 1988.  The department issued a revised unit location chart in 1987, so that would likely be the year. The original post is corrected, thanks for your great help.

Thank you for catching and explaining that anomaly.  My original notes were correct but it seemed to be an overlooked error when I was double checking the post, so I "corrected' it.  It is back to the way it should be now. Battalion 56 would have had only 3 companies if Ladder 56 had been...

Ladder 120 was there temporarily in the mid 1990's and more recently Ladder 174 during renovations to their quarters.

Boston Engine 50's house has been renovated several times, most recently last year.  Good value from a building that the city didn't even build but acquired.

The firehouse located at 34 Winthrop St, Charlestown was built in 1853 prior to annexation of Charlestown and was first occupied by Boston Hose 3 in 1874.  (34 Warren St is in Roxbury.  Engine 24 was at 434 Warren St but that was built in 1873 and replaced in 1947.  There was no firehouse on...
