In what may be the earliest known recording of the FDNY radio system, this clip is found on the January 1, 1939 broadcast of "New York Advances," a program produced by municipal radio station WNYC. The show summarizes city initiatives and projects of the preceding year, including a piece about the use of two-way radios by fireboats.
Additionally, the clip provides insight to the department's roster of fireboats which were given concurrent "land unit" designations.
Two-way radios were implemented department-wide by the early 1950s.
Photos are from the John Landers - Beth Klein collection, featured on Britt Crosby's capecodfd.com. The audio is from the WNYC Collection of the New York City Municipal Archives.
No ownership is claimed on the part of the uploader.
