once again Fdny fire houses - Marc - 08-16-2007 And last but not least is 49 Truck's former quarters which is located at 1079 Nelson Avenue in the Highbridge section of the Bronx. This firehouse was built in 1913 and is located DIRECTLY behind 68 Engine's old house. 49 was only located here until March 1, 1947, when the New York Fire Patrol's "Patrol 6" moved in. 49 then moved in with 68 in their old quarters until 1979 when a new firehouse was constructed at 1160 Ogden Avenue. This firehouse is now privately owned. once again Fdny fire houses - Rheems1 - 08-16-2007 These pictures are all wonderful and the houses look so great, there is alot of class in these houses. As of late I have been driving up from Pa and riding the subway around visiting firehouses, with the exception of 1 Manhatten house and 1 Bronx house.. every station I have stopped at have had great and very friendly people. I was worried that no one would be friendly and wouldn't enjoy visitors but I was pleasently surprised. Please keep posting photes, I absolutley love this thread!!

If memory serves me correct, it's currently an auto body shop. Captain John T. Dunne was the first Captain of L-175. He was tragically killed in the line of duty on March 28th, 1971. While performing a search of a burning apt., Capt. Dunne's mask straps became entangled in a bicycle. He burned to death.
