Where is FDNY Engine 155 located?

FDNY Engine 155 operates out of 1573 Castleton Avenue in the New Brighton section of Staten Island, New York. This location serves as the home base for both Engine Company 155 and Ladder Company 78, which are often referred to collectively by locals as “The Hot Corner.” The address is a key identifier for fans and former members looking to connect with the station’s history and current operations.

Is this an official FDNY merchandise item?

No, this is not an official FDNY product. It is a fan-made tribute item designed to celebrate the identity and heritage of Engine 155 and Ladder 78. The shirt is not produced by, licensed by, or affiliated with the Fire Department of New York or the Uniformed Firefighters Association. Buyers should understand this distinction when purchasing, as the item serves as independent apparel honoring the service of these specific companies.

Who should buy this Engine 155 Ladder 78 tee?

This shirt is ideal for current or retired firefighters assigned to Engine 155 or Ladder 78, as well as their families and friends. It also appeals to Staten Island residents who have a strong sense of local pride and respect for first responders. Anyone looking for a firefighter gift that specifically acknowledges the New Brighton firehouse will find this design relevant and thoughtful. It works well for reunions, charity events, or casual wear where showing support for these specific units is desired.

How does the design look on the back?

The back print features bold, block lettering that clearly displays “FDNY ENGINE 155 LADDER 78 THE HOT CORNER.” The text incorporates red, white, and blue colors referencing the American flag, creating a patriotic and high-contrast visual against the navy background. The layout is centered and spans a significant portion of the upper back, ensuring the unit numbers and nickname are easily readable from a distance. This prominent placement makes the shirt effective for identification and display at public events.

All-over print construction

Design is printed edge-to-edge using dye-sublimation / all-over print (AOP) so the artwork wraps the garment. Because each piece is cut and sewn after printing, pattern placement can vary slightly — especially at seams and sides. Photos show a representative style; choose tee, sweatshirt, or hoodie options at checkout when offered.

Fit & sizing

Use the size chart in the listing images before ordering. AOP styles often have a regular unisex fit; if you prefer a looser look, size up. Youth or plus sizes follow the chart for that specific blank.

Care instructions

• Machine wash cold, inside out
