A Family Comes to an End at 'Fort Pitt'

By George James
Jan. 4, 1991

Capt. Kevin O'Donoghue of the New York City Fire Department, whose father was a fireman before him, studied the wake for Engine Company 17 being held in Smitty's Seafood last night.

Engine Company 17 had died earlier in the day, and it occurred to Captain O'Donoghue that he would go down as the last commanding officer in the 127-year history of the company, one of the city's oldest.

Financial problems closed the company, whose command he took last April. Now the 25 members of the company would be dispersed to other firehouses, leaving only their friends in Ladder Company 18 in the firehouse they had shared on Pitt Street on the Lower East Side.

"Forty years ago, my father started as a probie fireman in 17 Engine," Captain O'Donoghue said. 'Lot of History'

His father, James, stayed with the company for a decade. He retired in 1984 and died a year ago.

"His picture is still on the wall in the firehouse," Captain O'Donoghue, 39 years old, said. "There's a lot of history in that house."

To him, that history wasn't one of manning hose lines and knocking down fires while the ladder company forced doors, opened roofs and made rescues. It was one of relationships, of family, of men following in the footsteps of their fathers and of fire captains like Anthony Quatrone, 44, commander of Ladder 18, who think of themselves as fathers and of the firefighters as their children.

Firehouses have rarely closed easily, or without sentiment. To dodge protests, the city abruptly padlocked Engine Company 232 in Brooklyn in 1988 on a Sunday while the crew was out on a fire call and the Super Bowl was on television. Engine Company 41 in the South Bronx was ordered shut several times and was kept open by repeated protests. 'Breaking Up a Marriage'

Last night, some 150 firefighters came to Smitty's Seafood on Gold Street at Maiden Lane to mourn the latest closing, Most were former members of Engine Company 17, called "Fort Pitt."

"It's like breaking up a marriage," said Lenny Munda, 36, who had been with the company for nine years and was now going to Engine Company 164 on Staten Island.

Matthew Moog, 26, who was seriously injured fighting a fire in a high-rise building and was out for 22 months, said he spent 21 days in a hospital burn unit.

"The guys in the firehouse, they came to visit me every day for 21 days," he said. "When I came home, they bought a color TV for me. All the guys chipped in."

Firefighter Dan DeFranco, 55, joked, "Now that we're closed, you have to give it back." Firefighter DeFranco spent 28 years with the company. When his son, David, a firefighter, died shortly after he was injured in a fire, his colleagues in Engine Company 17 started a college scholarship in his name.

Retired Capt. Ed O'Hare, who commanded the company before Captain O'Donoghue, said: "I'm heart broken. You work with guys, you put your stamp on a company and it gets to be known and then somebody wipes it out with a stroke of a pen. One hundred twenty-seven years down the drain, and it counts for nothing."

AMBROSE L. AUSTIN FF. ENG. 15 APR. 24, 1871 1873 JAMES GORDON BENNETT




Ambrose L. Austin, fireman, Engine Company No. 15, was, on the twenty- fourth of April, 1871, attending to duty at the Repair Yard in Elizabeth Street when an alarm of fire came for an outbreak at No. 53 Bowery. Going there, he saw a woman fall from the basement steps into what appeared to be a furnace. Austin, in rescuing her, was burned about the face.

WILLIAM B. KIRCHNER FF. ENG. 17 MAR. 29, 1883 1884 JAMES GORDON BENNETT




William H. Kirchner, private, Engine Company No. 17, on the twenty- ninth of March, 1883, at No. 138 Eldridge Street, heard people crying for help within. All the ladders brought by citizens were loo short, and the department ladder had not arrived. Kirchner went to the roof of the next house, and on that of the building on fire, found John McCabe helpless from fright and smoke inhalation. Placing him where he was safe, Kirchner rescued McCabe's wife, who was crippled by rheumatism, by dragging her out of an attic window. In carrying her away he jumped an alley three feet wide between 136 and 134.

MEDAL DAY - 1884

 

[soda-acid]

Kinda surprising that they built the house on Pitt Street with a firehouse when the Broome St firehouse was only 34 years old at the time. It's also amazing looking at the pictures just how much Broome Street has changed over the years.

The Broome St. firehouse area was part of a "redevelopment project" in the 70's. The project didn't happen for over 40 years.

 

[memorymaster]

The 7th Police Precinct used to be on the s/e corner of Clinton & Delancey streets as well until the redevelopment and now is adjoining the quarters of 15, 18 & 4.
