In a situation like this where they need the extra vehicles couldn't they just work off of the radio?

That period between 1973-1984 the population really dropped. I never realized this before. I know it was the war years likely causing people to leave due to being burnt out. Was the increase from 1984-2011 likely due to rebuilding these burnt out neighborhoods?

Was EMS Batt 18 always an EMS station even in the HHC days?

What is Z20? I've never heard EMS units in NYC with the letter first.

I love this first picture. I always try to imagine what it must have been like working then. How many changes have come about since then? When was ladders 3 adopted? Before ladders 3 were there no riding assignments? This pic was probably during adaptive response, when a truck had 6 firemen. Did...

It's a shame they didn't maintain it as an active firehouse.

Was this Governeur Hospital before it was on Madison St?

With 287 at the temp quarters they're even closer
