Brooklyn Fire Department (New York)

== History ==
The Brooklyn Fire Department was formed through the merger of the Eastern District VFD and the Western District VFD on September 15, 1869. It quickly became the largest FD in Brooklyn and merged with every other VFD in the county by about 1896. The department covered the entire borough except for Gerristen Beach as it was formed in 1922. The department had 56 Engines, 25 Ladders, 2 Boat Tenders, 1 Chemical Engine, 1 Water Tower, and 14 District Chiefs. In 1898 the Greater City of New York was formed which combined each present-day borough and on January 28, 1898, to stop confusion with Manhattan companies, the Brooklyn and Long Island City Fire Departments were merged into the FDNY. Interestingly, when the BFD joined the FDNY the companies numbers were not increased immediately and as such, for a short time, there were two Engines 1 - 55, and 57, same for ladders, etc.
