ENGINE 6
La caserne Engine Company 6 Tigers est située 49 Beekman street, NY 10038

Elle est équipée uniquement de Engine 6 dont la plaque d'immatriculaion avant est "GR-RRR", allusion au tigre qui est son surnom et qui orne en peinture la porte du garage.
Le poste possède un site internet dont voici l'adresse : cliquer :http://www.fdnyengine6.org/pages/main.htm
HISTORIQUE :
Neptune Engine 6 was organized in 1756 with quarters on Crown Street (now Liberty Street) near Kip Street (now Nassau Street). The men first did duty with buckets until an engine could be built for them.
The Company reorganized and moved to Murray Street, in a house built in the wall of what was at the time the Columbia College grounds, where they remained until 1833. The company acquired the nickname "Bean Soup", which was a dish eaten often on Ann Street east of Park Row. The company was again reorganized in 1848 as "Americus" and received the nickname "Big Six". In an unfortunate accident, the engine ran over two of its members who had tripped on their ropes in front of Lord and Taylor's store while racing to a fire on Grand Street.
For many years the Company and Engine Company No. 1, the "Hayseeds," were bitter rivals, and as a result of fighting between them, No. 6 was disbanded by the city authorities in 1846. However, the Company was later reinstituted as Americus Engine Company No. 6, and on May 23, 1850, William M. Tweed, the famous "Boss Tweed" of Tammany Hall, was elected foreman. (At that time, fire companies were structured something like social or political clubs). Engine No. 6 was popularly known also by the name "Tiger," due to the fact that a Tiger's head, painted on the back of the Engine, formed part of its decorations. It was from this painting that Thomas Nast, the well-known and powerful cartoonist, adopted the tiger in his drawings as a symbol for Tammany Hall.
In January 1854 the Company moved to a brownstone on Henry Street near Gouveneur Street. By then the crest of the tiger had become adopted as a symbol for the Company.
The Company later had its base at 100 Cedar Street and subsequently moved to 113 Liberty Street, which was eventually replaced by the World trade Center. When 113 Liberty was demolished, the company was relocated to the quarters of Engine 32 at 49 Beekman Street. Both companies worked out of the same location for a number of years, until 1972 when Engine 32 was disbanded, leaving Engine Company No. 6 as the sole occupant of the firehouse were they currently remain.
The Company's quarters are near the World Trade Center site, and because of this Engine 6 had a specially-built pump powerful enough to push water to the top of the 110-story towers. Engine 6 was a first responder on September 11 and stationed itself on West Street at Vesey Street and hooked into the Trade Center standpipe there. That engine was destroyed in the collapse of the North Tower, and has been replaced temporarily by an older engine.
The flag draped outside the Engine 6 firehouse is from somewhere in the Trade Center, and had been placed by a firefighter on top of the destroyed Engine 6 at the site. When the Engine 6 wreckage was hauled away, the flag was brought to the firehouse.
