Yonkers Fire Department, Headquarters Station, 5-7 New School Road, Yonkers, Westchester County, New York. Home of Tower Ladder 71, Rescue 1 and the Mask Service Unit. Built in 1927. Yonkers Fire Department went paid in 1896 but many volunteer departments served the city prior to that. Stating with the Protection Engine Company No. 1 in 1852. YFD currently mans 12 stations throughout the city limits. Yonkers sits just north of the Bronx, NYC.
Early Sunday morning while I was taking these pictures they got a run just around the block from the firehouse. I noticed, while fixing the pictures that the lights on the front of the building are just like the original lights on my old firehouse (Vigilant Hose Company of Shippensburg, PA. at 129 East King Street) Then I saw that this station was built in 1927 and ours was opened in 1928.
