To make a Bronx Elm Tree Ln address, FDNY units must travel over 1.5 miles thru the Town of Pelham. That's Boston Rd up to Pelhamdale Ave and then under I-95. The border is the middle of the street.
There was a basement fire on the Bronx side of street in Spring 2020. PMFD arrived first but they do not have the manpower to operate effectively. FDNY arrived and operated per procedure and effectively took over.




"Sandwiched between the southern boundary of the Village of Pelham Manor in the Town of Pelham and the northern boundary of Pelham Bay Park is a tiny strip of land only 250 feet wide that long has been known as "no-man's land". While the phrase may evoke images of a forsaken strip that no one wishes to frequent, nothing could be further from the truth."

No-man's land is a long strip of land made up of about thirty-five properties that sit in the Bronx. Because they are separated from other Bronx residential areas by Pelham Bay Park, however, they derive many of the amenities of the suburban lifestyle offered by the lovely Village of Pelham Manor. For example, the children of homeowners located on the strip attend schools in Pelham Manor. Yet, the lucky homeowners who live on this strip pay modest New York City property taxes (at least when compared with property taxes in Pelham)."
