My sometime 8th grade girlfriend's house...Marian Z...my Irish gf, Kitty S., lived across the street at 2767...fun balancing that situation.

The actual Box located at 198th St but this house between 198 and 197th Sts...disputed border between Bedford Park and Fordham...take your pick.

Back then the 2d alarm response was

79 48 88
37 38 Bn 19

75 62 46
33
No additional Bn Chief. Div 7 at his discretion on the 2d or 3d Alarm. R3 on the 3d.

No FAST, no Squad, no L56.
9 companies, 1 chief.

Today, 15 companies, 5BCs, 1 Deputy... plus The Marine Corps Band and The Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

E-38 was act. 79 for the day, they had just left E-79's quarters when this box went out & were assigned to the box (probably 4th due)

E-79, 75, 88, 42, L-37 & 56 all got relocators during this job, not sure which of them were actually on the first alarm.
