When did they move?  Has it been only a month or was it earlier?

You can probably find the response rundown in a back issue of Fire & Water (Fire Engineering) magazine.  There are still many complete collections around.

Can't help noticing that many engine companies immediately adjacent to Ladder 8 have been disbanded over the years.  (Engine 13, 13-2, 27, 27-2, 29, 30, 30-2, 30-3, 31, 31-2)  How is it that the neighborhood only has a solitary ladder company in a single bay house?

At the time Ladder 174 was organized, the originally planned Ladder 160 for that firehouse still had not been organized, yet the number was not used.  Available unused Brooklyn ladder numbers 133 and 145 could also have been used.  Ladder 145 was even planned for the same general area, on...

In April 2012, Engine 310 temporarily moved to Engine 248 and Ladder 174 moved in with Engine 283. Does anyone recall in what month the companies returned?

There have been several stories about why Engine 32 was disbanded in their own quarters and replaced by relocated Engine 6.  Most involve politics and personalities.  Would anyone like to post the version that they heard? Also, Engine 56 was disbanded in their own quarters and replaced by...

The northernmost counties of New York, Vermont, New Hampshire & Maine have cross border mutual aid pacts with the southernmost counties of Quebec.  But in your example it's Ontario . . . . .

Ladders 131, 132 & 137 were organized along with 3 Engines (94, 283 & 284) and 7 other Ladders (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 & 48) on the same date. Ladders 134, 135 & 136 had been organized a few months earlier. Ladder 133, scheduled for 1196 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, was cancelled and did not get...

Engine 326 in Brooklyn was disbanded on the same day that Engine 251 in Queens was reorganized.

Engine 235 and BC 57 moved in with Ladder 102 (and former Engine 209) quarters temporarily in 2005. Not sure why they moved or when they returned to their own quarters.

From a code, financing, zoning or political perspective, it may have been preferable to call it an addition to an existing building rather than a new building.

Another unique company and its number - Ladder 193.  Any ideas what that number was supposed to mean?

Oops, my error.  The Bronx TCU was 712 and Brooklyn had 731 and 732 but there was no 711 for some reason.
