3/19/26 Brooklyn 3rd Alarm Box 2492

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.

Second sections

During the War Years how were the second sections of Ladder companies, such as Ladder 26, dispatched? Both respond on a job in their still area or did they alternate.

This is my old Flatbush, Brooklyn area. I believe these are old stores in an old Taxpayer with all the problems of old Taxpayers. A few years ago, now, the 12th Division was closed. The 12th Division was quirted with Engine 250 on Foster Ave, near McDonald Ave., when Div. 12 was closed, I believe. Now the 8th Division from S.I. and the 15th Division must cover all of Southern Brooklyn. Given the size of the area and the amount of vehicle traffic this is not practical. We need the reopening of Division 12. I is very hard to run a major fire with only a Battalion Chief or 2.
