    5/13/23 Bronx All Hands Box 3350

    Love these hairsplitters! But I will point out that the 18th Battalion is reknown for the cooperation of it units. If the ticket says xx/yy are first due, they get the nob or the front of the building ladder up, even if ww/zz get in first. Case in point a few years ago...taxpayer job on 204th...

    5/19/23 Bronx 10-75 Box 3318

    Obviously E48 out elsewhere or they would have been 2d due. 79/37 or 43/59 next up as Xtra E/T?

    5/14/23 Bronx 3rd Alarm Box 3890

    Back in the 1930s the 2d section of E76 would relocate from their firehouse on West 102nd street in Manhattan to City Island on the weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day. I saw these orders years ago but cannot recall all the particulars. I believe it was just for the evening hours. A...

    5/13/23 Bronx All Hands Box 3350

    You might be correct but let's spilt some hairs here... Mileage 88/38 = .5 mi 48/56 = .6 both per google. Getting thru the intersection of Fordham and Webster is a show stopper, considered perhaps the worst in the Bronx. Also, Hughes Ave is one way north bound as it approaches Fordham Rd...

    5/14/23 Bronx 3rd Alarm Box 3890

    Looks like L38 initially went to L39 on this box, then went 1st due to 7-5 3468, followed by L48 to L39. Correct? Why was E88 relocated to E70 on a Sunday afternoon? Was E70 off duty for Mother’s Day?

    Hughes Ave (named for the first Archbishop of the New York Diocese and founder of Fordham University) is one block West of 88/38 in Belmont...189th St just one block south of Fordham Rd.... Unless BARB screwed it up 88 48 79 75 38 56 37 46 45 42 33 27 on 2d alarm.

    MACK, a fellow college alumnus, is in the midst of relocating to new quarters. A native NYC guy, and son of an FDNY Battalion Chief, he wound up settling in northern Virginia near his office in the Pentagon. Now downsizing to Massachusetts to be near family, where one of the sons is on the...

    4/14/23 Bronx Brush Box 4503

    And those relocators would be on the road already with the transmittal of the 10-75. Both City Island and Riverdale are among those quarters that must be occupied If the companies are to be out for any prolonged of time.

    4/14/23 Bronx Brush Box 4503

    So if 70/53 get involved in a job on the other side of the bridge that leaves the entire City Island uncovered until a relocator can get out there. Let's just say it's an all hands, 4 and 3. Next companies up to relocate at 70/53 would be 90/41, 62/32, and 88/38. 15 to 25 minute run for any of...

    Fairfield, Ct House Fire 4/14/23

    Drove by Fairfield station number 2 at about 2:30 PM... Bridgeport E4 and L11 parked on the apron. Stop to talk to the men but they didn't know much. They thought that Fairfield FD was all involved at a fire in Southport. Actually, the 800 block of the Westport turnpike is on the very North of...

    4/3/23 Bronx All Hands Box 3592

    Box 3592. Do the mileage...BN15 = 2.2 miles, BN27 = 1.3. Other boxes had to be out to get 63/39 1st due at 3592. Depending on which route taken, virtually a dead heat btw 62 and 79, but 62 traditionally assigned 1st due. L39 was 2d due from their old quarters (same mileage but easier run than...

    4/2/23 Bronx All Hands Box 4756

    Box 4756 should be 48 46 88 56 27 38F And that is considered to be Tremont, not Fordham Heights. Straighter run for 46/27 and 88/38. Too many turns for 75/33. Unless of course other boxes out at the time.

    1947 Mack LS apparatus

    Grizz, this is just a guess. Apparatus purchases were delayed during World War II and by 1945 the department was in need of a lot of new rigs. At the same time the federal government had a surplus of pumps that had been ordered for fire protection during the war. These were sold at a discount...
