    Where are the Field Comm Units located around the City?

    There is only one Field Comm. Unit in service. It is located at the quarters of E233/L176 on Rockaway Ave. in Brownsville/Bed-Stuy.

  2. The firehouse in Old Greenwich is known as Sound Beach. Its a combination house with two paid personnel staffing Engine 5 per shift. All the pieces of apparatus at each firehouse, save the paid rigs, are manned by volunteer personnel from that respective volunteer house. The paid GFD responds to all calls throughout the town. The volunteers also respond to calls in their respective areas and throughout town, and supplement the paid units.

  3. There are currently seven firehouses in the town of Greenwich. Five are combination paid/volunteer (Central, Cos Cob, Byram, Glenville, Sound Beach), one is all volunteer (Round Hill) and one is all paid (North Street). Banksville FD in Westchester County provides some coverage to the northern areas of town. The paid GFD currently operates six engine companies and one truck company. Engine 1, Engine 4, and Engine 8 are staffed by four personnel per shift. Engine 2, Engine 3, and Engine 5 are staffed by two personnel. Ladder 1 is staffed by three. There is also a rescue (Rescue 5) that can be cross-staffed if needed. There are also plans to open another firehouse in northwestern Greenwich, which would be Engine 9. I believe the paid GFD does around 4,000 calls annually. EMS is handled by Greenwich EMS.

  4. The paid departments in Westchester have had companies disbanded over the years.

    Yonkers:

    Engine 1 - 5-7 New School St. - Disbanded January 1, 1976

    Engine 302 - 53 Shonnard Pl. - Disbanded July, 1983

    New Rochelle:

    Engine 20 - 496 Stratton Rd.

    In New Rochelle up until the 1970s, Engine 21/Ladder 11 were quartered on Huguenot St., Engine 22 and the Battalion Chief were at HQ at 14 Church St., Engine 23/Ladder 13 were at 756 North Ave., Engine 24 was at 155 Drake Ave., Engine 25/Ladder 12 were at 170 Webster Ave., Engine 26 was at 1530 North Ave. Engine 20 was at the new Station 7 at 496 Stratton Rd. Engine 20 was disbanded when Engine 25 moved to Stratton Rd. during the 1970s. Engine 26 moved from North Ave. to the quarters of Engine 21/Ladder 11 on Harrison St. until it was disbanded. Engine 22 moved from Church St. to 170 Webster. and the Battalion moved from Church to Harrison St. There was also a Lighting Unit quartered on Harrison St. at the time.

    Mount Vernon:

    Engine 1 - 9-11 Oak St.

    Engine 2 - 9-11 Oak St.

    Squad 1 - 9-11 Oak St.

    Chemical 1 - 23 S. 6th Ave.

    Chemical 2 - 151 S. Fulton Ave.

    Chemical 3 - 446 S. 5th Ave.

    Chemical 4 - ?

    In Mount Vernon during the 1970s, Engine 1/Engine 2 were at 9-11 Oak St., Engine 3/Engine 4 were at 211 S. 4th Ave. (HQ), Engine 5/Truck 3 were at 435 S. Fulton Ave., Engine 6/Truck 2 were at 470 E. Lincoln Ave., Truck 1 was at 23 S. 6th Ave. (formerly Chemical 1), and Rescue 1 was at 151 S. Fulton Ave. (Formerly Chemical 2).

    Engine 2 used to be on E. Sidney Ave. before they moved to Oak St. Engine 6 had formerly been on S. 3rd Ave. between 1st and 2nd St.'s s before they moved to E. Lincoln Ave. Truck 1 had formerly been at 211 S. 4th before they moved to S. 6th Ave. Truck 2 had been at 9-11 Oak St. before they moved to E. Lincoln. Also, Chemical 4 became Engine 6.

    Mount Vernon recently went from 5 engines down to 4, losing Engine 2.

    White Plains:

    Engine 4 - 232 S. Lexington Ave.

    Engine 5 (aka 69) - Robertson Ave. & Harding Ave. - Early 1970s

    Eastchester:

    Engine 28 - 25 Underhill St.

    Rescue 5 - 2 Poplar St.

    Not sure of the dates when the Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, or Eastchester companies were disbanded. I'm sure I'm missing a few, including the volunteer companies. Feel free to correct or add to this list.

  15. Is a first alarm in Yonkers really seven engines and four ladders?

    A first alarm assignment in Yonkers is 4 Engines, 2 Ladders, 1 Battalion Chief, and Rescue 1.

    If a 10-30(All Hands) is transmitted, an additional Ladder is assigned as F.A.S.T., an additional Battalion Chief is assigned as the Safety Officer, and Squad 11 is assigned. If the second Battalion Chief is unavailable, an Engine can be special-called to the scene and the officer of that company can serve as the Safety Officer.

    A second alarm assignment in Yonkers brings 2 additional Engines, 1 additional Ladder, and usually a Deputy Chief. Often the Mask Service Unit and the Rehab. Unit are brought to the scene by the second alarm.
