I will do you one better Cap.... According to the 1993 FDNY Fire Alarm Assignment book, the response to Box 3382, Jerome Avenue at East Kingsbridge Road, was 75 48 79 33 56 37(F) 81 88 43 46 38 59 75/33 moving just a couple of blocks south made a big difference.

This address sounded familiar to me. Just a few doors up the street is a handsome old building that once housed the Fitch Sanitarium, the hospital where I was born. (My brothers used to tease me that I was born in a "sanitarium", confusing it with "asylum" I guess.) It was built in the early...

Doesn't the Bronx borough Commander roll from engine 72s quarters?

Right around the corner from 46/27s former quarters. It can be seen in some of the videos. Their former home box. If all available, assignment on the All Hands would be 46 42 88 45 75 27 38 58F 33 Bn 18, 19 48 92 50 56 44 19 Bn 17

You may be reading that incorrectly. Companies listed on the first line of the 2-2 are those companies that responded on the 2nd; those on the the following line are companies that relocated to units operating at the fire. In those days relocators never responded to the same incident as the...

G -man rule again.

E88? Should be second due on the second alarm.

2931 maybe?

G-Man rule applies. Company out of service for administrative reasons and the house gets a first due job.

I wonder if 96 and 81 passed each other on 233rd Street on their way to relocating.

Typo for 82?

Same question. 88/38 3d or 4th due right across Mosholu Pkwy. 63/39 usually invited to this area on a postcard. I'm sure just other stuff going on at the same time.

Long haul for 63. 88 a half mile closer. Guess they were out also when the run came in?

I recall lying in bed late that sleepy Sunday morning with my old computer logged into TheBravest.com, listening to the FDNY Bronx feed. The run came in for Andrews Avenue, all the responding companies very familiar to me. Much voice communications for what was obviously a tough job. And then...

Yes it is, and until the 1970s Box 3505 Baileyy Avenue at Albany crescent) brought only a two and two on the initial first alarm response... 81 75. 46 33. Bn 19 E79 on the All Hands 7-5 signal 95 48 43. 37. Bn 15 on the 2d alarm Of course some of these units have moved since then. Bn 27...

E38 was never assigned anywhere near 3d due at this box. As I said, third or fourth alarm for them. I don't know what Barb would have to do with this. I agree that Barb messed things up in a lot of instances, but not in this case. That E38 was assigned third due was just an indication of a lot...

Not sure I understand what you are saying here.

That was my point. Must have been a lot going on for E38 to be assigned 3d due. I'm guessing but they probably wouldn't go until the third or fourth alarm.

Must have been a lot of stuff going on at the same time. E38 third due? Many companies out of sequence...43, 75, 79, 95, 52, 88, 62, etc. Same with the truck companies. Queens companies taking up residence in the Bronx these days.

Iona and Bryant (in Rhode Island) also have gone Big U in recent years.
