Six engine companies are known to have been in service during the city's history.

The city has more than 200 engine companies, he said.

Engine Company 26 made the short move to the new building in 1940.

The engine company there, No. 42, had lost water pressure.

The change would affect 65 of the city's 211 engine companies.

Engine Company 42, which had lost pressure, tried too late to return to the fourth floor.

However, by that time, the first engine companies had arrived on the scene.

He was covering for someone in the engine company that morning, his mother said.

The agreement increases the number of engine companies with five members to 64 from 60.

And an engine company is not the same as an emergency squad, the men said.
