Hook and Ladder Company 8

Organized in 1865, Ladder Company 8 moved into their current Firehouse when it was constructed in 1912. Located near the World Trade Center, the company was one of the first to respond on 9/11. The street in front of the firehouse has been co-named Lieutenant Vincent G. Halloran Street in honor of one of their own who died heroically on that tragic day.

Nearest Subway Stop: Franklin/Varick Street 1, Canal Street/6th Avenue A (C) E
