JFK visited the Bronx when he was running for office. I remember seeing him at the Grand Concourse & East Fordham Rd. I think he even made a stop at the Concourse Plaza Hotel at East 161 St. After Carter when to '2743' looked around & did nothing, it was Regan who returned when Koch was mayor...

A tip of the helmet goes to Car 10 for ordering a head of time a third alarm before arriving on scene. The companies were directed to proceed to the staging area. Since the incident was located in the North Bronx, very close to the city line, most of the companies would have a long ride when...

Remember that the staff chief, either the Boro Commander or the Citywide Duty chief can respond on either the second alarm or the third alarm. This is up to them. If the Boro Commander was not the previous, off going, citywide commander, most likely the two chiefs spoke & a decision was made who...

At one time only tillers responded to Riverdale. Ladder 33 was the closest Tower Ladder. 52 had one of the last wooden ladders in the city.

Thank You!!! USAF 63 - 67 And I would do it again!

Let's stop for a few minutes & think this out. 1. Prior to 1964 ALL Fdny truck Co's in 1964 were tillers. In '64' Ladder 1 received the first tower ladder. 2. The list that I added to this website was from 1977. So with that in mind, ladders 27 & 59 all ready had rear mounts. So they lost...

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.

It was to be an outpost for EMS back in the 70's. Since that time plans have changed & EMS moved into the former qtrs of Eng 68 & Lad 49 a few blocks away after Fire Safety gave up that facility. Maybe they forgot about the facility.

As a father of an NYPD Detective, I am glad he is retired. The incident took place down the street from the 'Big House'. Prayers to the family of the deceased officer.

Remember a 10-75 is a request for assistance. A 10-75 was a request for 3 & 2 & 1 Batt. All Hands (75) means: 1. Using 3 & 2. 2. Using 2 & 2 plus a squad. 3. Using all personnel on scene. (This could only be 1&1 or 10&10.) Squads only went on boxes normally assigned. MOST of the boxes did...
