Victory Blvd used to be a toll road in the 1800s. Called Richmond Turnpike. It was renamed Victory Blvd to celebrate the end of World War I. Volunteer fire company Oceanic Hook and Ladder 1 has been operating from its Travis firehouse since 1800s. Last I knew they operated an engine and brush fire rig. Before E 166/L 86 firehouse and E 154 firehouse were built, Oceanic H&L was the only fire company close for Travis and Bulls Head. E 163 L 83 and E 158 had very long runs. Oceanic H&L 1 and Richmond Engine 1 are two of the last operating volunteer fire companies in NYC.
