Here is a shot of Engine 214's house taken sometime in 2002. Might be about one year after 9-11. Check out the sign painted on the apron.

Here's a shot on a cloudy day - shadows weren't an issue. My only problem was that it's a bit tricky to photograph a 6 story building from 60' away.

Very nice picture. I've never been successful there. Not only a really tricky shot but also a very heavily traveled street with the NYPD 19th PCT next door and your back to the Russian Embasy.

Just curious, but what are the 6 floors used for? Any FDNY members that can answer this for me? I am wondering if maybe some admin use this house, or if there are also apartments there? Also, I have always wondered this, beings I am from the midwest and don't know much about this issue, but a lot of your houses are 3 story or more. Can any FDNY member or anyone who knows tell me what is beyond the 2nd floor. I am going to at least assume the sleeping and living quarters are on the second floor as in most multi story firehouses, and I am wrong, please correct me, and if I am correct, again, what is the 3rd (or more) floors used for. Thanks and stay safe.

Most firehouses that are 2 stories have a kitchen on the apparatus floor with bunk room and officers offices on second floor. Firehouses more than 2 stories can have any number of set ups, most bunk rooms and officer offices are on the second and some have a kitchen on the second floor as well. The third floors in some may have a kitchen or a lounge. There is no real commonality to NYC firehouses except the apparatus are on the first floor. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hysterical.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/fireman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> A majority of the 2 story firehouses are less than 50 years old and also have a plain square box look to it. While the older houses have elabarate cornice work, window and door arches and designs built in with different colored bricks. 99% of the firehouses belong to the city so there won't be any appartments on upper floors.

E-39 & L-16's firehouse was also home to FD Headqaurters, fire instruction school and the Manhattan telegraph communications office.

Don't forget about the marine guys in Manhattan! Here's Marine 1 from our trip there in 9/12/04 for the McKean anniversary/rededication.

Ten house gets dumped on 9/12/04- we were paying respects when we heard them get hit out and set up across the street. The ladder was using a spare.

Ladder 79/ Batt 22 in Staten Island. The second picture is our wacker shot- our Battalion 79 vehicle on the ramp. When we asked if we could do the shot- one of the guys saw the car and said- "Wow! You have 79 Battalions in your department?"

Wow! It looks almost like an old barn. This must be on the Hudson river, I can see the Jersey landscape in the background. Do you remember what the cross street for this location is?

It shares the pier with a trash transfer station.

This was Engine 154... (just off Bay Street). The company was closed and moved out to Travis... There was to be a Ladder with them - Now its a Engine, Foam Unit and BFU.

Has anyone eles noticed that it looks like the City has painted almost all the Appratus Doors? You can clean the outside but most are still almost or OVER 100 years OLD!!!
