Former New York City Fire Patrol Houses
New York, NY - ntatap - Sunday, January 18th, 2009 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
A few years back I decided to go out and photograph the former locations of the New York Fire Patrol past and present. On 15 October 2006 the NY Fire Patrol was disbanded. At one point the Patrol had 7 companies and 3 Salvage Corp units. I was driven to work on this project as tribute to Keith Roma who was a member of the patrol who lost his life on September 11, 2001 during opperations at the World Trade Center. The Patrols primary duty during its existence was to protect property but when saving lives came into the picture these brave men stepped up to the plate and sometimes paid with their lives. More information on the patrol and its history can be found at www.fpny123.net
or on Wikipedia.
Fire Patrol 2 84 West 3rd Street from 1907 until 2006
Fire Patrol 3 240 West 30th Street from 1895 until 2006
Fire Patrol 4 113 East 90th Street from 1883 until 1941
Fire Patrol 6 838 Cortlandt Ave Bronx from 1901 until the moved in 1913
Fire Patrol 6 1079 Nelson Ave Bronx was originally built as the quarters of FDNY Ladder Co. 49 FPNY relocated to this build in 1949. In 1955 they were renumberd company 5 and went out of service in December 1955
Fire Patrol 7 133 Norfolk Street from 1907 until 1933
Salvage Corp Unit 1 12 Dean Street Brooklyn from 1909 until 2006
Salvage Corp Unit 2 33 Stagg Street Brooklyn from 1896 until 1955 when the company became Patrol 4. It went out of service in 1959
Salvage Corp Unit 3 516 Herkimer Street Brooklyn from 1906 until 1954

Like I said in my e-mail to you great job Anthony.It's amazing when you think about it half the people in the city never even herd of a Fire Patrol. I think they should all be back in service.
tommy1340@optonline.net: 11th Feb 2009 - 20:37 GMT
you got something wrong, bro. Fire patrol#1, not patrol #3, was on 240 w.30th st, i know i worked there, all that was left at that time was #3, in brooklyn, on dean st, #2 on w. 3rd, and #1 on w. 30th st. otherwise a very good job
ntatap: Tommy is right. Sorry about the mix-up.

Sorry this comes so LATE!!! At present time, I am the Chaplain for the Oceanside Fire Department on Long Island. My Uncle, Sgt. Michael G. McGee was an honored member of the Fire Patrol 1 located at 240 West 30th Street. On February 14th, 1958, he along with his five fellow brothers, gave their life at the Wooster Street fire. My family was close friends with the Divine Family, both Jim and Joe knew our family well. I was about 13 when he gave his life in the line of duty. Many times, he would take me to the house, and I would spend the day speaking with the "guys" learning about the trucks, and equipment. Years later, when given my call numbers...240 was given as my number. To this day, I think he guides me in my work. Badge 444 was his number. I wonder to this day, what happen to his seared helmet, and the place that was erected in thier honor. God love you men, only you and your chaplains know how God calls to to a great vocation in this life. May you know you are not forgotten.

Great post!!! I have an interest in Fire Patrols. What a shame that the first and last Fire Patrol is now for the history books. My grandfather was a Captain on the Chicago Fire Patrol, and being a firefighter myself, it interested me so much that I decided to write a book on the subject.

Great photos! When did you take those pics in the Bronx on Cortlandt Ave, Stagg Street and Herkimer?
ntatap: 16th Aug 2009 - 15:56 GMT
Tim,
Sorry I took so long to respond. All these photos were taken in about 2003.
