From the Vault:
Hook & Ladder Co. 137 in 1915. Their rig is an 1913 American La France. The company was stationed at 243 Beach 116th Street in Rockaway Park. This company responded on the second alarm (only one ladder on the first alarm) to the Arverne conflagration on June 15, 1922. That job went to 5 alarms, using 24 engines and 7 ladders. It was no day at the beach!
