We were East of Ralph Ave., should've said west was 227& 123.

The Key thing to remember about the Tin House with 232 & 176 was that we were 4 blocks from 120 & 231 and west 4 blocks from 227 & 123. There was so much work around every once in a while Dispatcher would transmit any trucks available in Brownsville. As a charter member of 176 coming from 233-2...

There is a post on here regarding 2nd Sections. I just give my 2 cents because someone had mentioned Watkins Street and I wanted to clarify what transpired during the war years from what I remember.

TCU 732 came from Qtrs. of 277 to the Tin House on Sept. 23, 1971 with 232. TCU was disbanded Aug. 5, 1972. They thought they were going to be 176, but from what I remember somebody's toes were stepped on, so they made it disappear. When 176 was formed 19 Brothers came from 233-2, 3 from 11...

A little info on Watkins St.. 232 was organized July 8, 1966 and was assigned to Watkins St. along with 231. 232 had boxes south of the firehouse were as 231 had east, west and north. The 44 had a 2nd section and 120 was a tiller rig back then prior to them getting a Tower ladder. Eventually 232...

Lights and siren may have got you there sooner. Just wait till they lower the speed limit to 20 MPH. Traveling anywhere here is a total nightmare. It seems like no body works anymore.

Any reason specific Co.'s were selected? I notice 302, 303,126 &127 are not listed. As some of the busiest Queens Co. just curious why they have been eliminated from your stats.

The injustice is City residents get I believe 10 points on the FDNY entrance exam. So living in Nassau or Suffolk or upstate or other than the 5 Boros you have a big disadvantage. Once on the job you can move out of the City to the above mentioned areas. In the late 80's they made a big push to...

Back in the day Dispatcher would ask any trucks available in Brownsville?

Around the corner from the Fire House.

Just received word of the passing of Lt. Benny Garcia on 1/30/2026, a former member of Eng 82, 232, 299 and a LT. in 295. He has been living in N.C., Charlotte area since his retirement. When my daughter was living there, I would always stop in and see him. Truly a good guy. A service is planned...

I hope the fine for a blocked hydrant is steep enough so that they never do it again, especially when there is a fire.

Chauffeurs get ready to put the chains on the rig.

As a Fire Marshal that worked the night of FF Bohan's wake, I was assigned security duty at his house, til the Family returned home. I also did for it FF Williams.

When I was building a 440 for my Cuda they did my heads for the motor. Bronze guides and a 3 angle valve seat.

They just had a 5th at 108 St. & Atlantic Ave.. Queens is getting to be like Brooklyn was during the war years.

Seems like they are already ratted out.

Just a reminder of how we go from 0 to 110 % in a matter of minutes. RIP Brother Brady.
