So the assignment here includes E's 41,42, 45, 46, and 48. That is exactly what it would have been 140 years ago, on Christmas Day, 1883, instead of 2023.

88 2d due here...46 or 75 3d due...79 or 42 next up...musta been sometin' else goin' on at the time.

NW corner of 200th Street and the Concourse... Not familiar with FIREWIRE but obviously it posted the 1st due engine/truck (79/37) if you know that district. 5 story walkup...I know 'cause I delivered packages from Carmine's Meat Market to that building as a kid...no elevator. 75/33...

Just about all of the normal 1st alarm companies (except L38) were operating at 7-5 3506, just a handful of blocks away up on the Concourse at 198th. That incident came in shortly before 3379. Any relocators had not arrived in the area yet so normal 2d/3d Alarm units had to fill in.

Thank you.

What do the (*)s signify?

Thank you for that info.

It is a Walker type and I am wondering the same thing. I assume some firm did the initial design and it was just duplicated thereafter. Thanks for getting back on this.

Looking for some help. Anyone on here have any info on who the design architects were for the fire houses of Engine 63 (single house on White Plains Rd), E64 and L47 on Castle Hill Ave, and Squad 61 on Williamsbridge Rd?

I think 91 in before 58.

We know you meant 79 not 49...if this incident happened on Halloween we might all be wondering. 81 obviously unavailable. Thanks for the report and rundown.

Obviously some usually assigned companies out elsewhere. This is an ultimate border box...61,62,88,97 all about equidistant.

Scooby, I seem to recall that but was it in the NYBG greenhouse or the Keating Hall tower on the Fordham campus?

Atlas, the entrance you mention is no longer the main entrance. In fact it now has restricted access for vehicular traffic. 79/37 would have a tough time getting into and around the Gardens from there. It is now referred to as the Mosholu Entrance and primarily serves pedestrian traffic from the...

Box 3375 is listed as "Crotona Ave 200' North of Fordham Rd". That is the approximate location of the old Fordham Hospital, long since gone. What is now the primary entrance to the Botanical Gardens is relatively new (1970s?). Its published address is 2900 Southern Blvd. It is about a quarter...

62/32...traffic on Gun Hill Rd and Jerome Ave always a factor. But you may be right, we are just guessing here.

You are correct, but I'm bettin' 75/33 would still get in ahead of 81/46 and 62/32 ...straight run vs a lòt of turns

75/33 used to be (for almost a century) 3d due at this Box. East on 183d from Jerome, then straight up the Concourse.

5 story walkup. http://maps.nyc.gov/doitt/nycitymap/...

I mis-interpreted E38 rather than L38. My bad. You are correct. Notice L39 assigned before Ls 38 and 33, which leads me to believe that there was something more than just a 10-99 going on down in Fordham. It jumbled the usual response patterns to Norwood.
