I remember reading that the father of Brooklyn's Billy Cunningham - an All-Star player and later coach for the Philadelphia 76ers - was an FDNY Staff Chief.

Why would the tightness of the street make a difference with two sections of a ladder company? If one makes it out of quarters, the second one would also, correct?

Not to get too deep in the woods, but do the satellites respond by the battalion assigned or by the battalion's administrative district?

I guess that representation shows the new quarters at low tide.

So, some of the busiest units outside of Brooklyn are not motivated?

Is that near the old Engine 27?

A good man. Rest in peace, Tom.

I wonder if the above photo was taken on the second of the month.

What's with the damaged car in the truck's bay?

All officers' heraldic devices were silk-screened on their frontpieces until I think sometime in the seventies, even though it was still in the Uniform Specifications until at least the nineties. I don't know what's in the books anymore.

Rest in peace to our Brother and Sister.

That building was under construction?

I think you mean Ladder 174 was established with Engine 310 in the Spring of 1966. As far as I know, Ladder 172 was established with Engine 330 in the Spring of 1965.

Engine 22 to Engine 63 - probably over ten miles. You'd think they'd send a closer engine to 63 to cover the Bronx/Westchester border and then have 22 cover that one.

Although Tom Neary was assigned to companies in all boroughs, is this medal is awarded to an act performed in the Bronx or Harlem or by a member in a Bronx or Harlem unit? Also, what are the boundaries of Harlem?
