Harlem/Bronx boxes

Boston6453 · Jul 22, 2009

Can anybody offer any insight on how soon Bronx companies go into Harlem or Harlem companies into the Bronx. Seems that some locations the 1st alarm could be a mix of companies from Both Manhattan and the Bronx. But I'm not sure if it really works that way.

Boston 6463, I think you would see that Harlem Units respond into The Bronx, and Bronx Units respond units into Harlem quite often. I could be wrong but it is only a trip over several bridges for these companies to respond together. Don"t forget, they are all still the FDNY and its not like a seperate city of two different depts.

Both R-3 and Sq-41 are located in the Bronx but are the special units that cover the Bronx & Harlem.

I can remember seeing Eng. 69 (Harlem) at a few boxes over in the Bronx on 149st.

On the Manhattan side, Engines 59, 69, 93, and 95 go into the Bronx on a regular basis. Ladders 30,28,45, and 36.
On the Bronx side, it's E-83, E-43, 81, 52. Ladders 29,59,46, and 52. Anybody else is usually going on a multiple, replacing an unavailable unit, or as a relocator.
Squad 41 does respond into Manhattan as an ENGINE on a couple of boxes in the 140's around Lenox Avenue.
