RARE 1919-20 FDNY Engine 49 Fire Dept Ledger Journal Blackwells Island NYC NYFD

This listing is for a rare 1919-1920 New York City fire department daily ledger from Engine 49. Engine 49 was stationed on Blackwell's Island (now known as Roosevelt Island). The book was found in the FDNY Fire Academy on Randall's Island many years ago. It has over 500 pages of handwritten notes in red and black ink. The red entries are from officers and the black entries are from firefighters. There are also lists of phone numbers, apparatus, company rosters, and deliveries of coal and oil to the station. It's a fascinating read for anyone interested in firefighting history. The journal has scuffs and wear from age including yellowing of the pages. It measures about 14" x 9" x 1.75" inches. Please see the photos below to see everything that is included, and contact us with any questions before bidding. The bottom photo is from the NYC Department of Records archives and is titled "City Home District Fire Department Engine #49 (Tall 3-story building and 1-story extension.)" We have a low opening bid and no reserve price so don't miss your chance to win!

Engine 49; Organized Mar. 22, 1882 and Disbanded Sept. 21, 1958

Roosevelt Island is a narrow island in New York City's East River. It lies between Manhattan Island to its west and the borough of Queens on Long Island to its east, and is part of the borough of Manhattan.

The island was called Minnehanonck by the Lenape and Varkens Eylandt (Hog Island) by New Netherlanders. During the colonial era and later it was known as Blackwell's Island. From 1921 to 1971 it was known as Welfare Island when it was used principally for hospitals. It was renamed Roosevelt Island in 1971 after Franklin D. Roosevelt.
