Transverse, if I'm correct isn't the Aid unit at Engine 17 a "reserve" unit? Did I read a few years ago that after the station is remodeled they want to relocate MED 16 to Engine 17? I could have sworn that they were talking about it.

While I'm on the subject I was wondering if station 14 ever had an Engine company assigned to it as the station certainly seems big enough to house an Engine company?

Thanks, firepost

You are correct, Station 17 houses a reserve Aid Car. I believe it runs as Aid 86 when activated, but can run out of any station. I've seen it assigned out of

Station 5 several times. As far as Medic 16 moving to 17's, that may have been speculation around the fact that every time the city is looking to save money

Station 16 is mentioned to be expendable.



When Station 14 first opened on Jan 12, 1927, Engine 19, Ladder 7 and Battalion 1 were the first units assigned. Engine 19 and 14 were assigned there together

from May 4, 1931, until April 14, 1933 when E 19 was disbanded for the first time. Engine 14 was disbanded on June 1, 1972, to organize ATTACK 10.
