Some of those walls were removed but they date back to when those houses were built from 1909 to 1924. A member of L146 told me he can see where the wall used to be.

Yes, I missed that one.

Thanks 3511, those 1950's Waukesha engine WLF's were notorius for their noisy exhausts but they were fast and maneuvered the city streets very well. Booster tanks leaked and '51 & 52 WLF deck guns had no elevating wheel so members had to improvise when they had to keep it in a set position for...

  I know it's yes with the Internationals (commercial chassis) and the Mack R's as they replaced 1950's WLF and '58-59 Mack C's. The WLF Firebrands no, because they replaced older 1936, '37, '41 & '44 Macks, 1939 & 1946 WLF and 1947 Macks & ALF's: E40('46WLF), E42('41M), E46('47M), E82('47M)...

  Union & 151 (2255) around 1968-69 was one of the biggest South Bronx fires I ever buffed. Super Pumper Tender was unhitched, driven over piles of rubble and used to demolish what was left of a whole city block of tenements and frames. A school was later built on that site. I recall only one...
