What color helmet front pieces did the members of the tcu wear. Gotta love those side facing seats.

When did E-244 ever have an open cab American LaFrance ???? I do remember them having an old open cab [pre-1952] Ward LaFrance with doors. Also, the city has changed a lot in the past few years. For example, the 15th & 20th Battalions in the Bronx see a lot more work than the 14th Battalion. :-Xjohnd248 said:With all this talk about the " War Years", I remember in the mid-60s when Engine 248 had a relatively new Mack CF pumper with a closed cab and open "mother-in law" seats. Our rig was taken away from us and sent to Engine 244 in Coney Island as Coney Island was deemed to be more an area of unrest than Flatbush. We ( Engine 248) had to operate with Engine 244's open cab American LaFrance until Engine 244 was ultimately disbanded due to lack of fire duty and the demise of Coney Island. Our Captain worked long and hard to get our original rig back and ultimately suceeded.
The rest is history: Engine 244 was disbanded and Engine 248 later led the city in occupied structural workers.
Engine 41-2 was disbanded on January 17, 1974 and Engine 66 was established on January 19, 1974.Just curious: If E.85 was reformed to create L.53 on City Island, what companies were used to create E.66 and L.61 in Co-op City?
I believe 27-2 became L.58.
