E43? Next up would be E42, then 45. Maybe they were out elsewhere?

I did not know that. Thank you for enlightening me.👍

This IS confusing...4th (75) and 5th (42, 81) Alarm companies on the 2d Alarm? Musta been a lot going on in the borough...(And E61 last due on the 5th?) And btw, great rundown UnitWith...thanks.

Box 3139 was physically located on the corner of Crotona Pkwy and 180th St. At that location Crotona Parkway and Southern Boulevard run parallel, perhaps 50 feet apart. The Pre BARB assignment to that Box was 45 88 46. 58 38 27F. BN 18 However, this address plots at just west of Southern...

Thank you 1261.

Ed, my post about L'Ambiance Plaza was from a year ago And refers to an article last April in the Connecticut Post as I recall. I don't know how I could go back and retrieve it.

Not quite the correct terminology here, t4. A five storey building with ground floor storefronts is not a “taxpayer”. A taxpayer building is a one storey (with possibly an added 2d floor) row of stores, often ornamented with a dangerous parapet frieze along the roof line. The name came from the...

Let me clarify. Boston road does not enter the Zoo. There is an entrance gate at Bronx Park South (down the block from the former Bronx Comm Office). The roadway actually becomes Jungle World Rd within the Zoo until that ends at a fence at the northeast boundary of the Zoo. It then continues on...

The pre-BARB Fire Alarm Assignment and Reference Guide lists the physical alarm Box as the intersection of Boston road and 176th street. 1st alarm assignment as follows: 45 88 46 58 38 27 BN 18 This address of 1880 Boston Rd plots a couple of blocks NE, so I guess it depends on how the...

Once this job came in, 47, 50 and 58 all are out and working. 41 central to all three, so relocate a TL (51) there. Makes sense to me. What am I missing?

Loring Place NORTH...just south of Fordham Road. And by the way, I was born in the Fitch Sanitarium, that was located down the block on the corner of W. 183d St and Loring Place N. It closed in 1960. My older brothers always teased me that I was born in a sanitarium (not a hospital) with all...

Below Tremont Ave in Mt Eden....pretty much 92 there before 48.

A few notes on this precinct building and the corresponding Box 3570... Construction began on this precinct building in 1904, just after the completion of the nearby firehouse for Engine Company 79. Both were to serve the maturing neighborhoods of Bedford Park and Norwood. Embossed in the lime...

The G-man rule applies.

Box 3356 is listed for the Intersection of Creston Avenue and East 190th street. If you know this neighborhood those cross streets (and the fire building in question) are located a mere 200 ft. north of Fordham Rd. Since Creston Avenue is one way southbound map functions will redirect the route...

Building is right behind Alexander's...for those of us who remember. Always just about a dead heat to the box from 75/33 and 48/56, even from their former quarters. Traffic probably determines who's in first.

I guess that explains why L48 was not listed as the FAST...i thought it might have been a typo. But still, L38 as FAST? Is that correct? Many many other truck co's closer. A very minor point considering this event and the good work by all FFs on the scene and those reporting it on this forum.

I believe 46/27 3d due here.

62 s/c. 88 out elsewhere?

EMS 55...Former qtrs of E71, R3, Div7, ...and L55.
