Things to thinks about - most of the older firehouses were built when horses were pulling fire apparatus. Next how did the city get away with not placing a station in Battery Park City where thousands of people reside? A few engine companies were closed or moved from that area. Two of the...

How about Eng 36 on East 125 St in Harlem. However make them a Squad that would cover Norther Manhattan & the South Bronx. Squad 41 would switch with Engine 42 providing coverage for the West Bronx while Squad 61 will cover the East Bronx. Engine 49 on Roosevelt Island. With all the ongoing...

After reading the comments I started thinking about this. In Queens - activate Ladder 171 in the qtrs of Engine 329. Then relocate Ladder 137 to Engine 266. Eng 266 shared qtrs years back with Engine 267 (shutdown), Ladder 121, Batt 47. So there is room for the ladder co. This was Ladder 137...

It was great having Ira as the speaker for last night's meeting.

3511 THANKS for the history lesson. I knew Doctor Kazimiroff who the northern end of Southern Blvd was renamed for, but I never or maybe forgot about Commercial Rd. 'Doctor K' over the years was honored for his work with the Bronx Country Historical group. There is no reason why 79 is not first...

Ladder 57 sat in quarters but never manned.

Why would you want to lose the services of a squad in Staten Island? Ladder 88 should be established in 168's quarters since the population in SI continues to increase. I think 152 is needed where they are. Remember 153 is already covering part of the area where 154 was once stationed. That...

For new fire stations - Please correct if I am wrong, how about Marine 4? I think that they were moved into new quarters. We also have the remove training facility off of Beach 116 St in the Rockaways.

Here is an idea for you concerning Staten Island. Div 8 & Rescue 5 both can move to where EMS Station 22 is located, Willowbrook. The old hospital site had the room to build a new fire station to meet their needs. Response from there will put them both into many different communities' where...
