Is that box number 1856 correct? Maybe 1656 ENY & Bristol.

I retired from BFI almost 27 years ago and it just seems so different today. The big thing was the Social Club Task Force, SIU and Auto Fraud Squad and the 4 marshals offices back then. But the end result is the same.

At 211 is an SIU unit. Fire Marshal's office in Bklyn., Queens, the Bronx and Manhattan. F.M.'s offices are manned 24 hours a day, not sure if SIU in 211 is 24 hours a day.

I believe address is on Sterling Place, not Ave..

The only people that don't know that are the people getting free stuff and they want more free stuff from an idiot. The famous cry affordable housing.

270 should be in there before the chief, maybe not much showing on arrival or nothing. In the bldg. now knows what they have and transmits to Chief.

We were East of Ralph Ave., should've said west was 227& 123.

The Key thing to remember about the Tin House with 232 & 176 was that we were 4 blocks from 120 & 231 and west 4 blocks from 227 & 123. There was so much work around every once in a while Dispatcher would transmit any trucks available in Brownsville. As a charter member of 176 coming from 233-2...

There is a post on here regarding 2nd Sections. I just give my 2 cents because someone had mentioned Watkins Street and I wanted to clarify what transpired during the war years from what I remember.

TCU 732 came from Qtrs. of 277 to the Tin House on Sept. 23, 1971 with 232. TCU was disbanded Aug. 5, 1972. They thought they were going to be 176, but from what I remember somebody's toes were stepped on, so they made it disappear. When 176 was formed 19 Brothers came from 233-2, 3 from 11...

Any reason specific Co.'s were selected? I notice 302, 303,126 &127 are not listed. As some of the busiest Queens Co. just curious why they have been eliminated from your stats.

The injustice is City residents get I believe 10 points on the FDNY entrance exam. So living in Nassau or Suffolk or upstate or other than the 5 Boros you have a big disadvantage. Once on the job you can move out of the City to the above mentioned areas. In the late 80's they made a big push to...

Back in the day Dispatcher would ask any trucks available in Brownsville?
