  Oh, my bad, Yes, your right, L27 had a 1968 ALF. I'll correct my mistaken correction ::) :-[

Made some additions and  corrections:

This could not happen in NYC:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/19/father-kills-molester-texas-no-charges_n_1610465.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009

  Seven (7) Manhattan engine companies were sent to this fire. As a double company, Engine 26 would be one of the first to go. The other double engines in 1922 were: 5, 7, 16, 33, 76, & 91. 2nd sections of Engines 27, 30, 31, 72 & 93 had been disbanded in 1918 then 27, 30 & 31 got their 2nd...

  The USS Independence that is shown on the video si CVA-62 commisioned Jan. 10, 1959. It ss a Forrestal Class carrier, over 1000 ft. long with a canted flight deck: http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/i1/independence-v.htm

Great info except for the carrier USS Independence that was built after the Korean War. ;)

  I have a copy of this and it's loaded with a lot of "War Years" info. I would call it: "FDNY 'War Years' 1970's Timeline"

Engine 26 was a double company for many years having two full crews on duty at the same time, two pumpers and two hosewagons all stuffed in there. ;)

E214 had to give up that Ahrens Fox when they moved to L111's old house on Halsey St. They swapped with E222 and wound up with a 1920's American LaFrance 700gpm rig.

There was a period from about 1909 to 1925 that had firehouses with a solid wall between the engine & truck.  L42 & L47 were built during that time.

  Engine 64s house @1220 Castle Hill Ave. was built Dec. 9, 1908 then as the area was built up L47 was organized in a new firehouse @1214 Castle Hill Ave. on Nov. 27, 1913. The same thing has happened with former quarters of E46/L27, also present E45/TL58, E73/L42 and E220/L122 firehouses.

After L49 moved into 1080 Ogden, 1079 Nelson was also home of a Fire Patrol for a while.

  Wrong photo Mack. This is a picture of Engine 21's old house at 216 East 40th Street and the alley on the left is from a Queens-Midtown Tunnel exit.

  I was told by a retired L-10 member that when Ladder 10's Fulton St. firehouse was demolished for WTC construction they were temporarily housed in a leased building @117 Liberty St. which was 2 doors away from E6 @113 Liberty St. What made this strange was that the building between the two...

  L21 was a double company in the 1930's so their new house on W. 38th Street was built with a wide door to accomodate two ladder trucks. Their second section was eventually disbanded in 1939. That wide bay came in handy after Rescue 1's firehouse was destroyed by fire and they were temporarily...

Some Ahrens Fox pumpers lasted just past 1959-60 when many were replaced by 1958-59 Mack C's

  Thanks Atlas, I was going to ask about E71's old house with the Div. chief coming out of the basement on 159th St..  ;)
