MESSAGE FROM THE FIRE COMMISSIONER It has been the joy and honor of a lifetime to lead the greatest and most resilient Fire Department the world has ever known. I have spent the last few days in the same way I started at the Department 10 years ago, sitting with members in the field and...

Ladder 19 was also stationed with Engine 96 before Ladder 54 was organized. Ladder 19 also served with Eng 68. Engine 96 was considered to be a combo company, but only took the ladder with them on runs east of Bruckner Blvd.

JFK visited the Bronx when he was running for office. I remember seeing him at the Grand Concourse & East Fordham Rd. I think he even made a stop at the Concourse Plaza Hotel at East 161 St. After Carter when to '2743' looked around & did nothing, it was Regan who returned when Koch was mayor...

A tip of the helmet goes to Car 10 for ordering a head of time a third alarm before arriving on scene. The companies were directed to proceed to the staging area. Since the incident was located in the North Bronx, very close to the city line, most of the companies would have a long ride when...

To transport members to and from different quarters and handle any other assignments given.

Remember that the staff chief, either the Boro Commander or the Citywide Duty chief can respond on either the second alarm or the third alarm. This is up to them.
