Division 7 : Battalion 18:
This unit was moved into this purpose built brand new FDNY firehouse by Ennead Associates (formerly Polshek Partnership Architects) from its previous location at 451 East 176th St, just 4 blocks north of here in 2009.

"Firefighters at Rescue 3 got a gift for New Years, as their new quarters officially were opened in the Bronx on Dec. 31. “This is a unique unit that deserves a unique building to suit its special needs,” said Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta. Construction of the $20.3 million, 21,479-square foot facility began in September 2007 and was managed by the City’s Department of Design and Construction (DDC)."
