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

New Rochelle:

Engine 20 - 496 Stratton Rd.

Engine 26 - 60 Harrison St. (Originally quartered at 1530 North Ave.)

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.

The Glenville Fire Company, located in the Glenville section of the Town of Greenburgh, address is Tarrytown. They hopefully still have their Sanford Cub engine. Last I knew, Walter Gregory was maintaining the rig. Back in the late 60's (?) they had a fire in the firehouse. The fire shorted out the fire siren that actually sounded. .From oral history, they were basically a brush fire unit before Route 287 and a modern Route 119 allowed the area to grow. Protection area extends fro Hackley School, Benedict Avenue to the Marriott Hotel, and from Springhill Suites on Route 119, the Tarrytown border.
