I hope it comes with shoe horns and a vat of Vaseline to squeeze it into HQ.  Meanwhile the fire houses are rotting away! What a waste.

What I meant was that you would expect a firehouse in this condition to be in a part of the country where resources (money) is very hard to come by. You know, where departments depend on pancake breakfasts, bake sales and spaghetti dinners to fund themselves. It's not about call volume. This appears to be a firehouse that hasn't even had basic maintenance for years. The fact that it is still viable at all is a testament to how well it was originally built. It's a shame that a classic Tudor building like this has been allowed to deteriorate to the point of major reconstruction or tear down and start over.
Again, one has to ask, where does all the money go?

Don't even waste your time trying to figure out logistics of who, what, when and where. No one plays nicely in the sandbox. It will be quite some time before anyone agrees on anything.

The issue with the volunteers is the fact that there are no more volunteers. I highly doubt you will see any volunteers "complimenting" the career members in Eastchester and certainly not in Mt. Vernon, ever again. I don't personally watch the meetings because of what you stated. It's a joke.

Exactly.....only on paper.......all houses had a company room....most are gone.....there was never a "volley" house though.

??? I don't understand what that means. Station 4 borders the City of New Rochelle and the City of Mt. Vernon. As well as responding on the Cross County Parkway and Hutch practically everyday. Even if it is the slowest engine in the district(600 runs?), I can bet it goes on more runs than half of these upper county engines combined. East Bum F*** to me is like South Salem or Bedford or Croton Falls.

24/7.......always was and is.

All 5 stations are career and have been since the 1920's. There is, or was no such thing as a "volley" house.

Very true.....It is well past the point of repair. It would be a very expensive restoration and take much time to do it right. Station 5 was a joke because there were too many cooks in the kitchen and most of them didn't know how to boil water or make ice cubes!
