I know there was talk of moving 112 to 222 many years ago. Was there ever any talk of placing a truck at 217, 218, 230, or 237? I know they're all single bay houses but so was 277.
Hey Cap, it seems so odd that Broome St was opened in 1939 and then a mere 34 years later Pitt St firehouse was opened. Broome St sat vacant and was used for movies and TV shows well into the late 90's. In FDNY there are firehouses still open that have been open over 125 years. Any idea why the...
I don't know a lot about Boston FD, but I'm pretty sure 17/7 are on the busier side of things up there. A quick Google search and street view, looks like the firehouse is in a nice neighborhood. Do they just have a large response area or is the Google street view deceiving?
I always thought 286/135 had 3rd or 4th due boxes in Highland Park. As a kid in the 80's I remember them consistently running up 66th street to Cooper and then over the Cypress Hills St hill and into Brooklyn.
With St. Vinny's and Cabrini both gone I can't believe they would even consider closing Beth Israel. I understand it comes down to money, but at some point the closure of hospitals has to come down to a public health emergency.
I remember this fire. I was around 14 years old and my dad took me for a ride to check it out. I remember the super pumper being there but not in operation.
Seems odd that neither 146 or 128 took the front of the building. Doesn't look like wires out front. Not knocking anyone, just wondering if there was a reason not to set up out front.
