once again Fdny fire houses

[Marc]

And last but not least is 49 Truck's former quarters which is located at 1079 Nelson Avenue in the Highbridge section of the Bronx. This firehouse was built in 1913 and is located DIRECTLY behind 68 Engine's old house. 49 was only located here until March 1, 1947, when the New York Fire Patrol's "Patrol 6" moved in. 49 then moved in with 68 in their old quarters until 1979 when a new firehouse was constructed at 1160 Ogden Avenue.



This firehouse is now privately owned.

These pictures are all wonderful and the houses look so great, there is alot of class in these houses. As of late I have been driving up from Pa and riding the subway around visiting firehouses, with the exception of 1 Manhatten house and 1 Bronx house.. every station I have stopped at have had great and very friendly people. I was worried that no one would be friendly and wouldn't enjoy visitors but I was pleasently surprised. Please keep posting photes, I absolutley love this thread!!

I took this picture during he winter of 1970-71 or 1971-72, the sign above the door reads HOOK & LADDER 175.

Ladder 107 moved into this fire house located at 77 New Jersey Ave on Dec. 23, 1890, most likely as Ladder 7 of the Brooklyn Fire Department. On Feb 21, 1970 it moved into new quarters with Engine 225 at 799 Lincoln Ave. Also on Feb 21, 1970 Ladder 175 was organized in this same house on New Jersey Ave and remained here until July 15, 1985 before moving into new quarters with Engine 332 on Bradford Street.

I believe that this old firehouse is STILL standing. If memory serves me correct, it's currently an auto body shop. Captain John T. Dunne was the first Captain of L-175. He was tragically killed in the line of duty on March 28th, 1971. While performing a search of a burning apt., Capt. Dunne's mask straps became entangled in a bicycle. He burned to death.



RIP Capt!

Reserve 515 is my old rig. We were relocated to E-283 and saw some stickers we left on them..



Ill take it over my new rig anyday, even without the a/c.

[anesti]

this one? what was its old number? and ive started seeing those firecap stickers everywhere what are those

[smketrfdny]

Fire cap is a program where abused kids could come to a firehouse for shelter. One of the guys in my house put that "Hot Wheels" sticker behind the Chauffeur, it is not a similar one used by "The Highway" @ E-276/L-156. And it was SP9372.

Are these 2 separate stations built next door to each other?

[hoss]

L-117 & E-263 or 262 The station says 263, the rig that was running around the area was numbered 262..... <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='<_<' /> - me confused.

[smketrfdny]

E-262 is down the block from E-263. They could have been stopped there for any reason.
