Our site has a box location site. You need the box number, it does not work backwards, i.e. Christmas street and Nre Years Ave.

patrickfd is also correct. Make sure you list the BOROUGH. To patrick fd, thanx for the assist.

The book I have is New York City Alarm Box list. Mine is old (1972) and was published by the 6-6 Fire Buff Club. I don't imagine the numbers change numbers don't change so its still good.

  There is another book: "New York City Fire Alarm and Reference Guide" originally published in 1996 by Eagle Enterprises. It covers all 5 boros, gives you the 1st and 2nd due engines & trucks plus Battalion chief. I find it to be a fairly good guide even though it is dated (1996) and has a few typos. It is 50 pages and large 8-1/2 x 11 spiral bound.

There was also a book done in 1992 known as the New York City Fire Alarm Box Directory that list all the boxes.
