Back in the late 90's while I worked as a medic on the Lower East Side I remember they started cleaning up the old E17/L18 firehouse. I wondered for a while what they were doing. A few months later they started shooting a movie or TV show in the firehouse. It was nice to see such a historic old firehouse cleaned up, but only to see it torn down years later.

It was. The show was Law and Order-Criminal Intent. Mike Logan and his partner were investigating the murder of an off duty Firefighter and Logan hinted the Firefighter might be gay. The Firefighters got pissed off and started a fight. The scene was filmed in the former quarters of 17/18.

Rossville, S.I., near the boat graveyard. Steve
Rossville boat graveyard also final resting place of old FDNY fireboats.Used to be able to park on Arthur Kill near old cemetery (interesting to look at headstones) then walk thru to see old tugs and other boats in sad decay.

Late to the party but I just found all these great pics, thanks for posting. The pair of shots of Marine 1 at Pier A are fantastic, but this one takes the cake for me, its pretty rare to see any pics of the SPS system alongside WF Gibbs other FDNY handywork, the Fire Fighter. From the date range of this collection I'd imagine this is from the Bush Terminal area when she was operating as Engine 223/Marine 8.
