How many others were destroyed or lost?

The last few years there has been alot of repair work being done to those quarters. FDNY had a site for the new firehouse & was hoping to building a drive through station. They have taken control of the site, a former bank that was damaged by Super storm Sandy. That has now been turned into a...

If you can look into FDNY's official publication WNYF from the 60's or early 70's. There was a study published about the differences between the snorkel vs the tower ladder. Tower Ladder did a much better job in covering a building. The overhang of the snorkel was another problem. I hope this is...

I think you are on target with your info. I had a brother stationed there when the fort was active. There was a new building constructed for the Army Reserve that today is in use by NYPD. The Nike system required two separate sites for its radar, their second site was on an island in Jamacia...

The base had been in the control of the US Army until it closed The building in question was a warehouse for the site which was used by the Army from WW1 up until the late 60's - early 70's. In later years it was the home to a Nike Missile complex & prior its 6" & 16" cannons were aimed toward...

I just spoke with a fire officer from one of the volly dept's in the Rockaways. Roxbury VFD is still an operational dept.

We all hope that it is never used because we do not want to see people killed, injured, or lose their property. I only hope that it is in service when & if needed.

Years back FDNY Dispatchers had the authority to re-direct fire companies to a second job before they arrived at the scene of an incident. Example, a call in the Riverdale section of the Northwest Bronx saw normally the response of 2&2 ( Eng 52 & 81 with Lad 52 & 46). If a second incident was...

I had the honor to work with a man who took part in the beach landing. He became the Assistant Chief for Fire Operations of the Air Base where I was assigned. With all the hours that we spent together in the fire station, never once did he mention anything about serving in WWII or even being...

That is an interesting area where companies are 1 due & a block away could be 3rd due. Eng 61 would have been on the first alarm years back. Depending upon the corner 64 should be 1 due with either 61, 90, or 96 second, third, or even forth due. It is also the border line between Div 6 & 7...
