[quote name='hawkins point' post='103621' date='May 2 2007, 18:20 ']Thanks for the confirmation. When I first started to apark in Boston, there was no bridge. Engine 54 had a new (1948 vintage) Ward and I think that Ladder 31 had an early 30s city service. They had been delivered to the island by a barge. The firefighters worked 48 hours straight, then had five days off because the had to take a ferry from downtown.[/quote]
Both companies were officially organized on April 10, 1946. Engine 54 had a 750gpm Ward LaFrance pump & a Chevrolet Hose Wagon and Ladder 33 had a City Service truck. The bridge opened on July 23, 1951 and Box 7611 was established for Long Island with a 5 Alarm assignment.
