[quote name='MiltonBradley' date='02 July 2010 - 10:28 AM' timestamp='1278079738' post='390236']

Thanks, im sure i get annoying with the questions but how many reserve / spare engine and trucks does FDNY have, with a Dept so large there spare / reserve fleet has to be the size of a big cities active fleet.

Tough question. Mike Martinelli might have the answer for this one.

Anesti, do you happen to have a back end photo of the new battalion vehicles. Wondering if the dept is using a straight camper shell or do the shells have "barn doors" (like the older Suburbans)

It's a standard fold-down tailgate/lift-up cap door, with the slide out module.

Was out at "The Rock" a few weeks ago for training and stopped into the Mand Library while out there. Turns out that each company has a folder with lots of pics of that companies rigs and all other sorts of stuff. The light duty fireman working out there told me that if I wanted a copy of any of the pics, to set them aside and he'd put them on a disk for me and send it to me at the firehouse. Here's the pics that I picked out.

Ladder 27

1956 American LaFrance 85' ladder

Unknown photographer



Pic taken in front of old quarters on East 176th Street. E-46 L-27 moved out of these quarters permanently in 1972. It also served as the quarters of E-46-2, L-27-2, Squad 1, Battalion 56, Ladder 58, and Rescue 3 at different periods of time. Rescue 3 was located here from 1992 till November 2009 when they moved into their new quarters on Washington Avenue.

Ladder 27-2's first rig

1969 Seagrave 100' Rearmount which was originally a demonstrator rig. It was also the very first Seagrave Rearmount aerial purchased by the FDNY and also the only open cabbed Seagrave RM. I believe this rig is still in service as a reserve ladder with the Norwich, CT. Fire Department.

The guy out at "The Rock" also included a few other pics of Engine 263 and Ladder 117 which are located in Astoria, Queens. Don't know why these were on the disc he sent me.

1928 FWD Hose Wagon



Pic say's 1927, but no FWD hosewagons were delivered in '27. Calderone's "Wheels of the Bravest" ('92 edition) states that 18 of these hosewagons were delivered by FWD in 1928

Good shots Marc. What if a Non-FDNY Member wanted photos? Cost, time frame, and would they mail the disk?

I'm sure if you went there and talked to the guy, it wouldn't be a problem.

Stupid question from me. I was in Long Island City yesterday near the Queesn Midtown Tunnel and looked for the shops. With those archs it should not have been hard to find, but I couldn'g find them. Looks like a lot of re-generation with high rise condos etc.in that area, could it be that the shops have moved or have I lost my nose for finding things I need to find ?

It's not really a building you'd stumble upon. If it's a weekend there usually isn't anything outside. It on Hunters Point Ave Between 34th and 35th streets. There is a large (100'+) tower on the roof.



from the midtown tunnel i'd think you'd take the Long Island Xway to Greenpoint ave. then a left at the light onto greenpoint and a left onto Hunters Point Ave. Someone local can correct that if I'm off.
