I know that that is the 400 block of South 7th Avenue, but don't know the date, but I'll guess about 1993.

If I am not mistaking it started from a molotov cocktail, a former police detective lived there then went onto become police commish.

NewRo Ladder-12 in the rear ..................

[jloftus 28]

I'm pretty sure this is not the fire bombing I worked OT on this and it started in the 2nd. from left building, DC Jack Mazz had this, the firebombing was in 1990, ice all over and only 1 building fully destroyed.

Of course I could be wrong on the block , I always thought this job started on 8th. Ave. dont remember to well , getting old.

Ya I looked again at the pics and its not the firebombing, its the job Im talking about but on 7th.

R1Smokeeater, my lil' buddy...nice pics, but I am pretty sure these are technically not "rowframes"..I'm surprised noone has pointed this out yet, as some of you seem to be pretty knowledgeable...

So, a question...who knows the diff between "rowframes" and a row of frames???

Gee, this buff stuff is kind of fun!

[jloftus 28]

Maybe somebody could answer this? where the H(ll is our other 2 trucks, back then we ran 3-trucks, L-3 first due in front??, 73- in front, New Rochelle in rear, I cant understand where snorkel 1 or ladder 2 ( tiller )is.

at least one of them should have been in front. Ladder3 came out of fulton and would have been the 2nd in truck, God im old and confussed.

-AHA ! Sorry, just post what's on the back of pix (without totally checking)- Lucky I find the time to do even that these days.................

Question to anyone who was there, why does the rescue have the front of the building? Is that SOP or what?

[Remember585 815]

I'm taking a stab in the dark here to JFlynn's question.

Row of Frames:

A group of frame dwellings grouped closely together.

Rowframe houses:

Conjoined structures, such as 20x40 dwellings which are actually just one building of 200x40 dimensions.

If I'm not mistakin, the rescue was parked 2-3 homes away from original fire bldg. Guess it spread? lol
