911 was placed into service in 1968 replacing the 7 digit police emergency number which was (was on the sides of the green and white RMPs) ? —- ——-?

Back then you could always dial the operator at 0 to report a fire. But each boro had a 7 digit phone number to report a fire to the CO. Let’s see who remembers the emergency phone numbers to each boro CO ?
 
Manhattan-RHinelander 4-1000
Queens- VIrginia 7-5200
Brooklyn- EMpire ?-????
Just taking guesses for the above.
