Old Mt Vernon FD Stations

[61MACKBR1 222]

Someone else placed a post concerning how many fire stations did Mount Vernon have back in the 1970's. Very interesting question. Now I know that the Station on West Third Street is fairly new, with Oak Street, South Fulton Avenue, and the Lincoln Avenue Headquarters being around for some time, I am not sure of the others (I would presume that PRIOR to the New Station on West Third Street, there was another OLD Station that housed a Ladder and Engine Company, with the Rescue being housed at a Single Station, (before moving it to the South Fulton Avenue Station). Does anyone know about some of the Old Stations?

YR3, i just posted some of the really old locations in the other post (back in 1922). There has been a station at that location on Oak St since 1908. Im not sure when the others were built.

In the 60's and 70's:

E1 & 2, Squad 1- Oak St.

E3 & 4, Antique hose cart - 211 S 4th Ave.,

E5, T3, Foam 1, E7(Reserve) S. Fulton Ave.

E6 & T2 - 479 E. Lincoln Ave.

T1 - S. 6th Ave

Rescue1 at S. Fulton Ave. & 3rd St.

I believe that covers it.
