Welcome to The Official Home Page of FDNY Engine Co. 16 & Ladder Co. 7. We are part of
the 8th Battalion and 3rd Division. We are currently located in the Gramacy section of
midtown Manhattan. Engine Company 16 was originally organized in the former quarters
of Volunteer Lexington Engine 7 at 223 East 25th Street on September 18, 1865. Ladder
Company 7 was originally organized on October 11, 1865 in the former quarters of
volunteer Washington Hook & Ladder 9 at 217 East 28th Street. Both were single
companies up until the late 1960's when a new firehouse was constructed at 234 East
29th Street. On August 6, 1968, both companies moved into their new quarters which
they would share for many years to come. Engine 16's current apparatus is a 1998
Seagrave 1000 gpm pumper. Ladder 7's current apparatus is a 2006 Seagrave 75' tower
ladder. Their primary response area consists of several major hospitals and medical
facilities, multiple colleges, commercial and residential high rises, old and new
tenements, subway tunnels, grade schools, the FDR Drive, and the East River. Some well
known landmarks in which both companies respond to are The Empire State Building,
The Chrysler Building, The United Nations, Grand Central Station and
The Queens Midtown Tunnel.
