There used to be a restaurant at the crown of the hill called “The Mellow Lemon” if I recall correctly. Doubtful it is still there?

Good stuff! Enjoyed traveling to Cincinnati in my business career years. What companies cover Mount Adams?

Thank you for enlightening me. Spent some great time in Wisconsin ... serious brats, cheddar, and beer, not to mention the corn... but not aware of door county .

I actually remember those patrol cars, 1940s Plymouth. Replaced by 1950s Ford models.

Great story...but did I miss something?…where the hell is Door County and Bailey Harbor?

Bruckner, XBX Expwy, Deegan...piece of cake...unless there's traffic. L50 might not be there yet!

I believe R2s Mack bulldog rig eventually wound up in Rescue 3 when it was located with engine 71 and the 7th Division on Park Avenue in The Bronx. In those days the 7th division covered the entire borough, commanded by Deputy Chief Hugh Halligan, who happened to be my father's "rabbi"...

The lost housing stock of the Bronx. Probably built in the 1920s. A 5 storey walkup, parkway floors, tiled bathrooms, ...genuine craftsmanship. A shame so many were obliterated to the ravages of rent control.

75 2d due...why 33 3d due?

Correct Ed. Oops, wrong address. 2/12/20 was at 2567 Decatur. 2537 Decatur was a 2d Alarm on 5/3/18 when L56 (I believe) made the great grab of a woman out 4th Floor window.

Box 3370, Webster and Fordham Rd., is literally steps away, like 10 yards. Box 3334 is at 193d and Decatur, a looong block north. L38 gets in to 3370 2d due, ahead of L37, but because the Box transmitted was 3334 they are assigned as FAST. That means the truck closer to the fire building (L38)...

Somebody getting killed, now that's routine in New York City these days... But how many floors in a building?...that's another storey...

Upon further review, I guess I did miss it...DUH! ...sorry ‘bout that.

According to NYC Fire Alarm Assignment Guide,.. 97 61 41 61 B20

Why would you need a fire escape on the ground floor...you're already on the ground?

Nope. You fall 5 floors and then you hit the ground.

So t123ken, has anyone weighed in? And who is the “we” in disagree?

Not according to the official building records of the City of New York...but what the hell do I know, I just grew up in these buildings.

http://maps.nyc.gov/doitt/nycitymap/ Enter address...104 Elliot Place, Bronx, NY...around the corner from where I worked in high school, the Walton Kosher Delicatessen and Restaurant...and btw, 5 story building.

Prior to the War Years, in their former quarters, L27 was 2d due at this box. With Engines 42, 43, 45, and 48 all single companies back then, L27 roamed 2d due from the Harlem to the Bronx Rivers. And 96/36 never crossed the 207th St Bridge to the Bronx...Marble Hill (Manhattan) yes, the Bronx ,no.
