Next up is 68 Engine's old firehouse which is located at 1080 Ogden Avenue in the Highbridge section of the Bronx. This firehouse was built in 1898. Ladder 49 was quartered here with Engine 68 from March 1, 1947 till they moved to their current quarters at 1160 Ogden Avenue on Sept. 19, 1979. Located DIRECTLY behind this firehouse is 49 Truck's former quarters.
68 Engine is first due to Yankee Stadium.
From Sept. 29th 1979 to July 1, 1982, this firehouse housed Salvage 5 which was a group of civilians under the control of a Fire Department Lt. or Capt., who went around and did Salvage work. The last of the Salvage units were finally disbanded in 1991.
This old Firehouse is also an EMS station now.
