NYC Fire Museum Closed

278 Spring is the old Quarters of E33. Thats a three bay firehouse, what other units weŕe quartered here?
 
Ah NYC development, profit at any price. I hope the museum and the city go after the developer and their contractors for operating in a way that is causing adjacent buildings to be at risk of collapse

I doubt City Hall will do anything, but the Fire Department will find a way. Can the Department halt construction without going through DOB or City Hall?
 
I doubt it too, and the Fire Museum is not "affiliated" with FDNY as its a standalone operation and a 501c3, so FDNY has little official say in what happens to their operation.

Was the Oxygen Therapy unit still there for a while? Because they didn't get disbanded till the 90's.

Yes the OTU was there until it moved in with the Medical Bureau on Lafayette St. Remember that the Sat officer & Medical Bureau were there also.
 
Look at all the complications trying to get remediation for the active operating FH on Grand Ave & the end result is demolition ...I doubt the FDNY will have much impact on Spring St.
 
I worked in this firehouse, when I was detailed from my 1st assignment in Eng, 27 in the early 1970s. At that time the Spring St. Firehouse, former quarters of Eng. 30, was the FDNY Medical Office and I often worked in Satellite 1 of the old Super Pumper System stationed at Spring Street along with the Satellite Officer, who was a Captain and his driver, plus 2 Department Ambulances, that responded on 3rd alarms or when special called to fire or incidents for treating and transporting Firemen only. At first, I was a 2nd fireman on Satellite 1, and later after I went to E.C.C./M.P.O. school I drove a few times. We often spend whole tours out of the firehouse, driving from fire to fire and not really being put to work very often. But we did go to some really big fires. Once I drove the Satellite Spare rig, a 1954 Mack Pumper with a wood roof, to 4th alarm in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

In 1968 when i took my FDNY entrance medical the Medical Office was located in the Spring St FH ....the apparatus floor was dark & dinghy housing the above mentioned SAT*1 (manned by 2 FFs) & the Sat Officer (a LT) .....the Medical Office was upstairs & remained there until moving to Lafayette St .
