Looking for a little help. . . . What other Professional Ambulance Companies operate in and around Westchester County ?

I was not aware of that. Of course Station 7 was locally famous as the firehouse that doesn't LOOK like a firehouse. I remember as a young kid my Dad or someone driving us out to Ridgeway to see it. That might've been just before Truck 3 was put in service. We pulled in on the apron for a minute although I don't remember if there was just a single engine there.

Chief maybe you can answer a question I've had for a long time.

How did Headquarters on Mam'k Avenue become Station 6 while Prescott Avenue (Old Mam'k Rd) was designated Station 1? It always seemed like HQ predated Station 1. I always wondered if originally HQ was just 'Headquarters,' and maybe later on was designated Station 6 as the next available number. In fact possibly someone at WPFD told me that as the guys back then were fairly tolerant of kids hanging around and I used to ask tons of questions. But after so many years....

Back in High School 77-80 we would stop by( in-between classes) Station 7 using the back door and use the (candy machine) . The Firemen where very cool as long as you did not leave a mess . Guess what, nobody I knew ever caused a problem.

Tommy, as you know each fire house "had" a coinciding engine with the firehouse number, Engine 1 Station 1. I am not going to pretend to be some kind of expert on it, but seeing no body else wants to chime in. I will try my theory,but now watch all the responses. In the beginning each fire house had it own name example South Side Engine Co # 4 was Station 4, East Side Engine Co Station 3, Pretty sure it was Chatterton Hose Co Station 5 But it was on Robertson av. <<<<<Scratching Head . Fire Patrol Co Station 1 and so on. @ some point they just numbered the engines with the stations and Headquarters Station 6 began its dual identity,because that's where the Chief was Located. I think the Vollys still use those names today .

I have always been a believer in " if you cant dazzle the with brilliance" Baffle them with, well you know the rest .

as a bonus for putting up with my rant here is a pick that was sent to me today by a friend (Titled Protection From Today)

Engine -71 Rescue-88 Ladder-32 2512

Car-17 Truck 1 Patrol Supervisors

Ambulance -1 Ambulance-3 EMS Supervisor

I have to give it up to the dispatchers at 60 & 40 Control,I don't see how you do it .... If my Ambulances, Cars, Units, whatever don't answer the first time I call them. I am on them. Make me call you twice or 3 times , its on . My Uncle died as a result lousy ambulance service . My poison pen set into motion revamping of a county wide als/bls system that still has many flaws but is better now then ever .....
