Cool and very unique photos! Thank you for sharing this collection with us. I always love to see photos of agencies from the 70's until now, it's cool to look back and see what they used and how it compares nowadays.

It seems like NYPD ESU went back and forth between Chevy and Ford chasis.

And,someone please reassure me that that 1948 Auxillary Rescue found a good home in a collector who restored it. What a gem!

Nice. That's 3605 Kingsbridge avenue in the background, just north of W236th st. There was a second alarm there in August of 1992 or so that took out the whole top floor on the north side of the building. I have it on VHS somewhere at my parents place in the Bronx - I should convert it someday!

You could always tell when there was a pin job on the Deegan by the very distinctive SP Mark 7 sirens on those old ESU trucks getting on at Van Cortlandt Park S.

Good nostalgia. Thanks.

Was it a night or day fire??? i remember eating at the McDonald's seeing flames from that building, bit i was only 10 at the time so maybe my mind was playing games with me.

So do I.........I caught the very tail end of it when I got on the NYPD in 2000. I was assigned to the 4-8 and the only blue and white RMP left was one of the old Chevy Caprice's that we used as the "training car"...........that car was at the end of it's life and on it's last leg...........but had a blast driving it!
