In 1971, L38 replaced L31 as the truck company with the most Workers in the borough of the Bronx. I believe they were #3 citywide.

On the truck side, L38 should see a big jump in their runs. They will now go 2d due into a large part of Bedford Park. Before L56 moved up from Monroe Avenue, L38 was second due all the way to Mosholu Parkway. I guess you could say 38 is just temporarily reclaiming their old territory.

What would a Verizon location be?

Thanks Thanks Skyler. So it's a rebuild and not a teardown? That house was totally refurbished just a few years ago. The building is almost 125 years old. Historic to the neighborhood.

Anyone have an update on the status of '79/37s quarters rebuild?

48/56, 88/38 both Battalion 18. MUD together often.

Doubtful that L37 was the fourth due truck... Probably TO41 or L61.

True. L37 may have a couple of first due boxes in the Tracy Towers area or east side of the Reservoir but that's about it right now.

Notice again L37, now running from TO46's quarters, went in 2d due as if they were a second section of 46. Same as E79 running from E62.

79 is running out of 62's quarters because of the fire on Briggs Avenue. They will respond as if they were a second section of 62, unless the box was originally 79's first due assignment.

And prior to 1960 the Rescues responded on the 3rd alarm unless special called. I believe it's better the way it is now. Get 'em on the scene in case something goes wrong.

My late brother was a volly in Theils.

The lads could have done a little shopping for supper...

Normal response for 3326 AH 88 48 45 46 79* 38 56 58F 27 2d alarm 75 90 42. 37** 33 41 Eight of these companies were unavailable as the incident at 3326 started to escalate. (*Now operating from 62/32 quarters on White plains Rd.) (**Now operating from 81/46 quarters on Bailey Avenue.)...

82 had one also.

3389... 3398 on consecutive days. Wonder what's next for tomorrow?

Nicknamed "The Behemoth" by the guys in E91-2, who received one of the six originally delivered.

This model was nicknamed by the members at the time "The Pagoda". I recently watched a special on YouTube about Ward La France apparatus. The video emphasized how they were specialized vehicles of much higher quality than the American La France manufactured in the same town of Elmira, New York...

1953 would make sense as that's about the time the entire FDNY became connected via radio. As the military learned during World War II, it was crucial to standardize and limit air time. As a company grade officer in 1953 my father at first resented now having to communicate with the CO via...
