Question for the Old Time DFD folks

[FEO]

OK, here's another off-thought......

Outside of Headquarters, was Engine 50 the only four company house? I know Engine 5, Engine 17, Engine 53 and Engine 55 were three company houses. Probably a few more of them than I can recall right now. I'm not including EMS.

I think that you’re correct on Engine 50.
Here is some information on Headquarters at Washington Blvd & Larned
This was back in the 60s but changed throughout the years.
The companies that ran out of the Washington Blvd bays from the North end
Bay 1, Engine 1 in front, Ambulance behind it
Bay 2, Ladder 1
Bay 3, Squad 1 in front, Boat Tender 1 behind it.
The companies that ran out of the Larned bays from the East end
A variety of chiefs from Assistant Chief, Deputy Chief, Chief of Department & Fire Commissioner.

I wish they had made more use of 300. It was relegated to a Command Post later, but the initial concept was something new and different. It was used to treat a few injuries, but I'm not sure if was ever fully used as intended.
