The firefighters of FDNY Engine 69/Ladder 28/Battalion 16 have been fighting fires and saving lives for decades. The station was reportedly given the nickname “Harlem Hilton” during the gas crisis of the 1970s, when several firefighters opted to sleep there instead of commuting home to save gas. A reminder of just how dangerous a job they have can be seen on the memorial that hangs at a building where Gerard Frisby of Ladder Company 28, along with Lawrence Fitzpatrick of Rescue Company 3, “made the ultimate sacrifice” on June 27, 1980, when they were tragically killed as they fought a raging fire. Despite the dangers they face every day, the station’s firefighters are always ready to respond at a moment’s notice to any emergency!
