Engine 106's house was located at N. Fairfield & W. Diversey. The CFD moved out of that station in 1960.
The Ten House,quarters of Engine 10 and Ladder 10, located on Liberty Street directly across from where the World Trade Center stood, suffered significant damage and was nearly destroyed on September 11, 2001.
"The re-opening of the Ten House is the final brick in the Fire Department’s rebuilding efforts after the devastation of September 11th,” said Mayor Bloomberg. “Since that horrible day, the department has sworn in more than 2,100 probationary firefighters, promoted a new generation of leadership, and replaced more than 92 key pieces of equipment, including engines, ladder trucks and ambulances. The reopening of the Ten House marks the close of an important chapter in the history of the Fire Department, one filled with triumph and tragedy. While we celebrate this achievement, we will never forget the 343 firefighters we lost only steps from here.”
On September 11, 2001, five members from the Ten House made the supreme sacrifice. Lieutenant Gregg Atlas, Firefighter Jeffrey Olsen, Firefighter Paul Pansini were from Engine 10, and Lieutenant Stephen Harrell and Firefighter Sean Tallon were from Ladder 10.
As the towers collapsed, tons of building debris fell onto the firehouse and forced its way into it, blowing out windows and doors and causing extensive damage to the facade, interior structures, utilities, lighting and the roof. Inside the firehouse, the apparatus floor was flooded with over three feet of debris and in some areas in and around the firehouse the debris from the collapse was nearly six feet deep. The building’s ventilation system, air conditioning units and Nederman exhaust system were completely destroyed.
Although it was unable to be used as a firehouse after the collapse of the towers, the quarters of Engine 10 and Ladder 10 nevertheless played a vital role in the daily operations at ground zero. During the early days of the rescue and recovery operations and even during the clean up of the site, the Ten House was used as a rest and recuperation station as well as a command post for fire department operations at the site. Since September 11, 2001 both Engine and Ladder 10 have been temporarily quartered in nearby firehouses.
Both Engine 10 and Ladder 10 were organized from Volunteer Fire Companies in 1865 and each had several homes before being brought together at Liberty Street in 1984.

A Stirling engine is a heat engine that is operated by a cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gas (the working fluid) at different temperatures, such that there is a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work. More specifically, the Stirling engine is a closed-cycle regenerative heat engine with a permanently gaseous working fluid. Closed-cycle, in this context, means a thermodynamic system in which the working fluid is permanently contained within the system, and regenerative describes the use of a specific type of internal heat exchanger and thermal store, known as the regenerator. Strictly speaking, the inclusion of the regenerator is what differentiates a Stirling engine from other closed cycle hot air engines.

Detroit Diesel Series 60 engine
The pilot started the starboard turboprop and idled for about ten minutes before taxiing towards the runway.
Actually by doing so he also started the much needed, air conditioning as it was getting pretty stuffy and hot inside the cabin.
Small planes like the ATR 72 don't have an on-board APU (auxiliary power unit) like bigger commercial jets do, so they have to run one of the engines in order to get the air conditioning running just as you would with your car.
In the case of the ATR 72, the pilot could also apply the propeller brake so that the blades would be stationary but I guess in the 45+ degree Celsius heat on the tarmac having the propeller blades cool the main engine is a good idea.
The new Maserati Quattroporte VI has become a really popular car and a good seller for Maserati, but the idea for a four-door Maserati is one that goes all the way back to 1963 and kept on progressing all the way to 2013. Somewhere in the middle was the Quattroporte III, a machine that was styled by Italdesign and introduced in 1979. Like today’s Quattroporte, it was a Maserati for the businessman, and before it’s discontinuation in 1989 over 2,000 examples of the Quattroporte III left the factory.
This three-owner 1982 car located in Mesa, Arizona, is one of them and is now offered at a suspiciously low price.
It seems to have been really well taken care of and the seller claims that all of the electrics work (possibly because Bosch did the electronics in these). It also has the 4.9 liter quad-cam V-8, with 280 hp. If it’s advertised honestly, this is a very nice Quattroporte III priced like a mediocre Quattroporte III. It’s even more tempting when you realize that you could have this massive piece of Italian magnificence for the price of a well-used Camry. Yes, operating costs will start to catch up after a while, but such a low initial cost still really makes you wonder.

Heritage “The World’s Four Fastest Seats”
Turin Motor Show 1963, the press and public first laid eyes on a daring new concept from Maserati. The Quattroporte realized Maserati’s vision of an all new 4 door luxury sports sedan with the heart and soul of the race cars it succeeds and the luxury appointments and workmanship only the Italians can produce. Huge success and acclaim of the first Quattroporte led to the Series two, developed under the Citroen ownership of the early 1970’s. Before approval on the project the partnership dissolved and the Series 2 Quattroporte was no longer an option, only 12 were ever made. At the 1977 Turin Motor Show, Maserati unveiled the Quattroporte III. Once again Maserati received huge critical acclaim, all of the magazines gave praise to the gorgeous shape and well balanced chassis. The then familiar 4.9 quad cam V8 race proven engine was underneath the hood giving the Quattroporte 3 true heart and soul. Just 2,155 Maserati Quattroporte III’s were made worldwide making this automobile a very rare and special automobile.

European Motor Studio is proud to offer this very rare and limited production Crème on Pumpkin leather 1982 Maserati Quattroporte III. This Maserati has traveled only 36,950 miles from brand new and in beautiful running and driving condition. The Quattroporte was hand built and left Maserati’s Modena factory in December of 1981. The car was then invoiced to North America and was imported into the US through the Maserati Import Company in California. The car was sent to one of the oldest European automobile dealerships in the business, British Motor Car Distributors Inc on Van Ness in San Francisco. The car sold to its first owner for over $60,000 and stayed in the bay area until 2001 when the second owner purchased the car and moved to southern California. The 3rd owner purchased the car and moved to Palm Springs/Scottsdale where the car has been until European Motor Studio acquired the car from the third owner. This outstanding 1982 Maserati has been extremely well cared for and has a very extensive service history documenting all of the maintenance performed. Original owners manuals, warranty books, leather case, service manuals, original spare and jack, a whole book on past articles from numerous automotive magazines, past Maserati club records and two sets of original Maserati keys. The car is completely original minus the upgraded radio (nothing was damaged when the radio was installed) even the original Campagnolo’s are in perfect condition with original badging and stickers. The signature pumpkin leather interior is gorgeous, showing almost no sings of wear on the front seats, the backseats look as if they have never been used, the original hand sewn headliner looks perfect, and all of the leather trim, chrome, hand finished maple wood and switch gear look excellent. All of the electronics work, interior, dash lights, headlights, side marker lights, taillights, all four windows, trunk release switch(sometimes gas door flap sticks) AC blows well and heat works well and all of the seat switches work. The engine starts right up and runs outstanding. That glorious 4.9 litre Maserati four cam has a great sound and idles beautifully. I have driven the car about 40 miles around town in the heat and have not had any issues with overheating or running hot. The cooling fans kick on at mid temperature point and keep the large V8 running cool. The steering and suspension feel nice and tight, no play in the wheel or drifting. There are no unusual sounds coming from the suspension, the car has newer looking tires with excellent tread, in the corners the car feels solid and poised thanks to its sophisticated sports car heritage. The brakes feel great and do not squeak and grind. The transmission has been rebuilt in the last year and feels great; it shifts through all of the gears without any hesitation. The paint and body of the car look excellent, the original factory color looks very nice free of any damage or fade. There are only a couple tiny imperfections (one hairline scratch on the hood and one small ding on the roof of the car) the body of this Maserati looks exceptional. This has been a southern California car its whole life and just recently moved to AZ so there is no rust of any kind found on this car and the body is free of any damage or dents. The chrome, rubber trim, bumpers and badges all look great without any damage. This Maserati has never been involved in any kind of accident and has a clean and clear AZ title with Box A Actual miles. This is your opportunity to own an increasingly rare very nicely preserved Maserati Quattroporte III. With only 2,155 made worldwide these are very hard to find in this kind of condition with its original 4.9 V8 intact and running and with provenance.
