The picture of Engine 66's neighborhood in the 1900's really shows the potential fire problem faced by the early fireboat fleet with tightly spaced, wood frame pier structures extending hundreds of feet into the rivers, with limited access from the land side and heavy fire loading from cargo.

Engine 208 was a Staten Island company from 1905 to 1913. From 1913 to 1972, it was a Brooklyn company. When Brooklyn Engine 208 was disbanded in 1972, Staten Island Engine 167 was formed (as mentioned by JOR176) The Staten Island Division originated as Division 10 in 1905, was renumbered 6...

Satellite 4 (and 5) was organized ten years earlier, in 1983, soon after the Maxi Water concept was established.

fdny1075k - some additional Bridgeport history details for you.

The movement of Division Chiefs is not so much a history of relocations as it is a history of renumbering the division.  You can see it when you look at it from a particular firehouse location. For example: 3134 Park Ave, Bronx, quarters of Engine 71, has almost always been a division...

I wasn't really suggesting that all unused city buildings are firehouses, but I was wondering if the codicil for L14's house to "be used only as a firehouse" was jeopardized by having no active companies in that building.  If an inactive building is still considered to be a firehouse then it...

A friend who retired from Engine 36 in the 1980's, told me the same story.  But if the use could only be a firehouse, how did the city close Engine 36 in 2003?  Is the building technically still a firehouse?  Does that potentially make every vacant, city owned building a firehouse too?

Sounds like the original plans came very close to being implemented.  Ladder 57 already had a rig and Ladder 60 might have been the redeployment of Ladder 17-2, which was disbanded in 1974.  Ladder 61 was already in service.  Did any particular circumstance cause the plug to be pulled on this plan?

Satellite 2 moved into 97's temporarily 7/26/2013. Between 1968 and 1974, Ladders 55 through 61 were planned for the Bronx. Ladder 55 moved in with Engine 71 in 1968; Ladder 56 moved in with Engine 42 in 1968; I believe that Ladder 57 was planned for Engine 72 and that the house was originally...

Mack - there was an article about Field Kitchen 94 in a Fire Engineering magazine of that time, probably written by Paul Ditzel.

Lt called it a "decent-sized fire."  Wasn't that long ago.  I'm sure someone will know.

Also just noticed that Engine 8 moved in with Engine 65 in October 2005.  Ladder 2 and Battalion 8 went to Engine 21.  The companies were moved for a year.  What caused those moves?

Engine 65 was with Engine 26 from April until December 2012. Then they had a fire in quarters on March 12, 2013.  Does anyone know if they relocated because of that fire, to where and for how long?

Engine 272 disbanded in 1974  (Sometimes the keyboard has a life of its own)
