33 Engine and 9 Truck FDNY HOUSES FDNY HOUSES by Larry Woodcock

Many articles have been written about this firehouse. After all, its beauty is well noted. This house has even obtained a cultlike status and is a must see for any visiting firefighter or buff, who comes to New York City for the first time.

As any New York City neighborhood has its draw, the Bowery has 33 Engine and 9 Truck, simply referred to as the firehouse at 42 Great Jones Street. So lavish and monumental was this firehouse, that when it was built and completed in 1899, firemen from all across the city were envious of those, who would work there.

The firehouse was designed with fourth floor being the chief of the department’s living quarters, which the chief resided here until the 1920’s.

Both companies were solo with 33 Engine coming from Mercer Street and 9 Truck coming from Elizabeth Street.

The firehouse became a New York City landmark in 1968 and was added to the register of historic places in 1972. This is the only New York City firehouse to hold this distinction.

The architects, Ernest Flagg and William Chambers, had some big shoes to fill, taking over as the fire department’s primary designers of firehouses after the departure of Napoleon Lebrun. His last design came in 1895.

On Saturday, March 25, 1911, 33 Engine arrived first due to a fire that changed the fire service forever in this city and across the country. A fire started on the eighth floor of the Triangle Shirtwaist Company, a ten story building on the corner of Washington Place and Greene Street.

Over 700 people were at work in the building, 600 of which were mostly immigrant girls between the ages of 16 to 23. The fire spread rapidly due to many combustible garments hanging above the worktables. Many of the girls were able to escape by taking a freight elevator and the stairs.

And, some exited by the fire escapes, but many were trapped by locked fire exits, which were left that way by sweatshop managers to prevent theft.

Many were overcome and died from smoke. Others, with no choice, jumped to their deaths.

Firemen tried in vein to ascend scaling ladders and set up life nets, but found it difficult at best due to jumpers. The fire was extinguished relatively quickly, but the damage was done. In all, 146

LARRY WOODCOCK

people lost their lives.

The chief of the department at the time, Edward Croker, who was a staunch supporter of fire prevention and building codes, previously lead a campaign against dangers like the Triangle Shirtwaist Company, only to have it squelched by wealthy landlords and political red tape, stating that it is only a matter of time before a catastrophe happens.

His worst fears came true.

Amid testimony to city officials that evidence from the fire marshals showed that many factory owners would rather take a chance on a loss of life then spend five or ten dollars on preventing it.

The fire sickened him so much so that after a 27 years on the department, he turned in his badge and founded a fire prevention company. He built that company into one of the leading companies in the country.

And the New York Legislature enacted fire safety reforms with safer working conditions for factory workers.

The Bowery neighborhood has seen many changes over the years from an impoverished area in the 1920’s with dark streets filled with flophouses and cheap saloons to New York’s skid row, a place for alcoholics and homeless persons, referred to as “Bowery Bums�

from the 50’s through the 70’s.

Since the 90’s, that has changed, the Bowery and the Lower East Side has been revived and is now a bustling neighborhood with restaurants and bars for every age group and taste. 33 Engine is one of the original companies in the FDNY established on November 1, 1865 as a volunteer company.

Their former quarters was at 220 Mercer Street. They had a second section Engine 33 (2), which was organized in May of 1883 and was disbanded on July 1, 1939.

9 Truck is also an original FDNY company and was organized on October 20, 1865 with sev-

eral locations before moving here.

They also had a second section Ladder 9 (2), which was organized in July of 1883 and was disbanded in March of 1889 to organize Ladder 20.

These two companies have had 18 line of duty deaths, ten which, occurred on September 11th, difficult circumstances to say the least for any firehouse to overcome. A testament to how a firehouse survives such losses is a dedication to its service and a belief in carrying on a tradition and representing those, who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Five alarms for a Bronx taxpayer A blaze that went to five alarms tore through a row of stores just before dawn on the morning of December 17th.

The box was transmitted shortly before 5:30 a.m. for 1959 University Ave. A “10-75” was transmitted on arrival for heavy fire in the rear of a 100 x 150 one story taxpayer containing four stores. The alarms for additional units escalated quickly.

All hands with an additional

engine and truck was struck at 5:37. A second alarm at 5:41, and a third alarm at 5:50, and an additional tower ladder at 5:51.

Operations went defensive as conditions deteriorated. A fourth alarm was sounded at 7:20, and by 7:37, three tower ladders, two multi-versals, and three handlines were hitting the fire, which now

was showing through the roof.

The roof continued to collapse from the rear to the front as a collapse zone was established.

Firewalls helped contain the fire to the original building.

Outside streams continued to knock down any fire until the fire was placed “probably will hold” after a fifth alarm for relief was called for.

CPMU has been providing dedicated emergency medical services to Central Park since 1975.

We work in a very unique place. Central Park is a tourist attraction that draws more than 40 million visitors each year from around the world.

But, it is also a neighborhood playground, a bike path, a ballfield, or just a peaceful retreat for those who share this city with us.

When emergencies happen in Central Park, a broken arm on the swings, chest pain and shortness of breath during that morning run; you will find our EMTs and paramedics providing rapid, professional emergency medical care.

We don't do it for money.

Everyone at Central Park Medical Unit is a volunteer and the unit is a non-profit organization that never sends a bill for its services.

We do this work because we have a special privilege. It is the privilege of being able to help other people, often when they need it the most.

And we have a special mis-

sion; our dedication to New York City's crown jewel, Central Park.

But now we need your help.

On November 20, 2014, fire tore through the garage where two of our ambulances were stored.

Both vehicles were totally destroyed.

The ambulances were insured, but insurance only covers a small portion of what it will cost to purchase and equip replacements.

Your contribution will help make up the difference.

Our dedicated volunteers are ready to keep doing the good work that they have been doing since 1975 for more than 35 years.

And your generosity will help us fulfill our mission to keep Central Park safe for years to come.

A close call at Bronx third alarm One firefighter was rescued after transmitting a “Mayday” at a three alarm fire that caused extensive damage to a large building that appeared to be under renovation on December 15th.

Shortly before 1:00 a.m., Bronx dispatch sent a full response to 400 E. Tremont Ave. (later corrected to 401 E. Tremont) for a report of a fire.

The fire building was a 100 x 100 three story older building with offices over stores.

An apparent basement fire had already extended up to one of the first floor store and heavy fire was venting out the front on arrival. A second alarm was transmitted within minutes of arrival.

JUMP TO FILE #121514129

Fire was extending upward and command backed members off of the second floor and roof and started to set up two tower ladders.

Command also reported slight extension to exposure two. A “1087” was transmitted for Hi-Ex foam to battle the basement fire.

As all members were being withdrawn from the fire building, a member of TL-33 fell through the floor into the basement prompting a “Mayday”.

A third alarm was struck. The member was quickly located and

removed with no serious injuries.

Two tower ladders and a multiversal operated in the front of the building. The Hi-Ex was set up, but not put into operation as the smoke condition started to subside.

By about 2:15, field comm reported that the main body of fire was knocked down and primary and secondary searches were commenced.

The fire was placed “probably will hold” shortly before 3:00.

Foam 96, and Foam 260, both 1987 Mack CF foam units, the oldest front line FDNY units, responded in to the job.
