5 engines, 4 trucks, 2 battalions, a deputy, Rescue, Squad, RAC...relocators from the bottom of the borough to the top, and two more from Queens...for a fire "confined to the oven"? No wonder the City is broke.

My Uncle Charles was the chauffeur of L37 in da' Bronx when this new FWD Chicago reject was assigned to them. They thought they were getting a new American La France metal aerial ladder like the one at his brother's house at L38. But then this "thing" showed up on Briggs Ave. Initially it did...

Just guessin' here...next up 45 88 71 48 38 55 56 Maybe even 75/33 min the mix. How well do I grade out? Tough to guess anymore with relocators responding to the incident.

Best wishes to get well Ken!

Look at the Box #. There are no 37×× in Manhattan.

I figured that. Not a problem Just want to keep Tom's legacy intact.

The "G-Man Rule" applies to situations where 1st due companies are unavailable due to some administrative assignment (i.e., medical, visit to the Rock for training), NOT for being assigned at another box. If E96 was already out at Box 2801 this would not be an example of the "G-Man Rule".

Anyone truly interested just google "Harlem River Ship Canal". Great story. No way this could get done today.

At last contact, Tom was having some serious health issues. I have tried to keep alive a bantor with him on this forum, just to let him know we are all still here for him, and we are. As he observed many years ago, whenever a unit was out of service for some administrative event, it seems it...

Traditional assignment was 90 88 48 62 97 41 38 56F 32 Used to be the last box "out behind the park" for E48. I believe BARB messed it all up. No 88 at all today?

From my source, the 1996 New York City Fire Alarm Assignment and Reference Guide, Box 3358 is for Grand Avenue at W 190th St. This specific address is between 190th and 192d Sts on Grand Ave. As I recorded for a job at this box some years ago, the box assignment was 75 48 81 79 43 88 33 56...

G-man Rule. Hate to see these classic old homes burn down. Bronx legacy being lost, one by one. But 17 rooms? Bring in more illegals...

Years ago, this was a two and two box... 81 75. 46 33 BN 19 No 3d due companies if the travel distance was > 1.5 miles. That was pretty much all of the Bronx north/ west of Mosholu Pkwy/ Bailey Ave or n/e of Pelham Pkwy/Bronx Park East.

Ditto to Charley... And what a lineup of rigs in this photo! Any story behind it ?

Surely you mean to say "E88 not available".

Not here.

It sounds like you are assigned to 1 of those companies.

Bronx Box 3396, Webster Ave at East 197th St. The physical red alarm box stood right on the NW corner of 197th, right outside the entrance to O’Briens Tavern. Jack O’Brien, the owner, was from the “old country” and the nicest man you could meet, exceeded only by his wife Mary, also “off the...
