Capt. E15 didn't move the same time E17 was closed. E15 was on Henry St for the years I worked in lower Manhattan as a paramedic and TL18 and B4 were by themselves on Pitt St. That was from 1995-2002. I'm not sure what year E17 was closed, but I don't remember ever seeing 17.
It's too bad more of those old firehouse couldn't be maintained and kept as active firehouses. I was in E15's Henry St firehouse many times and just being in there and thinking about how it must have been in the horse drawn era was really cool.
Doug I could be wrong, but the job was 79 pl between Furmanville and JVR, which puts in closer to 80/Furmanville than it does 79 pl/Metro. I would think that from Grand Ave that 287/136 could easily beat 286/135 and 291/140 to Furmanville. Not sure the same could be said of them coming from 57...
Interesting, I never knew that my old neighborhood companies 286/135 were in the 37. It's also interesting to note that 277 and 112, who were then in separate quarters were in 2 different battalions.
Is it just me or did there seem to be a lot of civilians taking pictures or video or just driving through a pretty serious situation? This overturned GASOLINE tanker on a warm summer day could have potentially found an ignition source and made this incident much worse than it was.
