FDNY
This page is VERY graphic heavy in order to show you the details of our prints.
Ladder Company 10, a unit of
the 1st Battalion, of the 1st Division, of the FDNY, was originally
organized in the former firehouse of volunteer Southwark Engine 38,
located at 28 Ann Street, in lower Manhattan, on October 20, 1865. This
company has moved many times in their long career, however all were in
the lower Manhattan area on Fulton Street, Vesey Street, Liberty
Street, Duane Street and South Street. On July 1, 1984, they moved to
their present quarters, with Engine Company 10, at 124 Liberty Street.
They are only one of two FDNY fire stations where the engine and ladder
have the same number. The other houses Engine 52 and Ladder 52, in the
Riverdale area of The Bronx. Their quarters, known as "The TenHouse",
which was damaged on 9/11/01, is located directly across the street
from the former South Tower (Tower 2) of the World Trade Center. Their
first alarm area has numerous special hazards, including many old and
new high-rise office buildings, historic churches, schools and several
piers. In 2005, Ladder Company 10 responded to a total of 1339 alarms,
of which 958 were workers. Included among those were 85 workers in
occupied structural buildings.
Following the World Trade Center
disaster on 9/11/01, Ladder 10 was placed out of service for a few
months, as their quarters could not be used. They were re-organized on
February 19, 2002 in the quarters of Engine Company 4 and Ladder
Company 15, at 42 South Street, across from the South Street Seaport
area. They remained there until returning to 124 Liberty Street, with
Engine Company 10, on November 1, 2003. During that same period, Engine
10 was also quartered with Engine 4 and Ladder 15 at 42 South Street,
for a few months and then moved to the quarters of Engine Company 7 and
Ladder Company 1, at 100 Duane Street on February 19, 2002. They
returned to 124 Liberty Street, with Ladder 10, on November 1, 2003,
after the house had its interior renovated.
Ladder 10,
originally known as Hook and Ladder 10, was first organized with a hand
drawn city-service ladder truck, that carried a 40 foot extension
ladder, along with a few smaller ladders. They had several city-service
ladder trucks and later aerial ladders trucks thruout their long
career. On 9/11/01, their 1994 Seagrave 100 foot rear-mount aerial was
destroyed. When the company re-entered service on February 19, 2002,
they were equipped with a second-hand 1989 Seagrave 100 foot rearmount
(SL8905), that had originally been assigned to Ladder Company 61. This
was replaced on March 28, 2002, by their present apparatus, a 2001
Seagrave 100 foot rearmount aerial. This particular rearmount is the
only one in the FDNY fleet, with the distinctive murals painted on its
sides. It was one of twenty-five 2001 Seagrave 100 foot rearmounts,
delivered in late 2001 and early 2002. The one assigned to Ladder
Company 10 carries FDNY registration number SL01023 and Seagrave
chassis number 75776. All twenty-five are still in first line service
in all five boroughs of New York City. |
