    As the anniversary of the 23rd Street fire past on Saturday, a question came to mind. Would anyone out there know what type of pumper Engine 18 was running at that time? Thanks in advance. Ed B.

    Old Bronx 56th Btn.

    Would anyone happen to have the Units that made up the 56th Batt. prior to 1975. My late father was Batt. Chief in the 56th in the early 70s. I rode with him a couple of times during the Summer of 1971. He eventually went to the 18th. I'd appreciate any info on the make up. Thanks
