Box 0767 according to the Google Earth file I obtained from http://www.bensware.com/firetrucks/FireStationLocations.htm & confirmed by FDNewYork.com Box Lookup page.

steve do you need a new type of windows to open that because it doesnt work for me

Not a new type of Windows . . . but you do need Google Earth (a real memory hog, IMHO).

Hi,
Sorry, I should have pointed out it's a Google Earth .kmz file and yes Google Earth is a memory hog and can be unstable but it is handy to be able to look up a intersection and find the box number - kind of a 'reverse box look up", as far as I'm aware there isnt a website around that will let you do that.

Steve

Edit: Thanks to a pm from kfd274, I checked the other FDNY Goggle Earth files from the site &  it appears that only the Brooklyn, Bronx and Manhattan have box information.

Found an old card for box 767 and 778 which is one block north:

You've posted a bunch of old cards, today, Tom.  Been poking around in that Collyer's Mansion in your basement? : ;D

Not really, just couldn't download them into this new system.
