Squad 1 responds to fires and other emergencies throughout New York City, operating primarily in Brooklyn from their station in the Park Slope neighborhood.

Squad 1 was re-established in 1977 in Brooklyn at 788 Union Street, the former quarters of Engine Company 269, which had been closed during the budget crisis.

The door of their pumper engine was recovered and is now on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

[3] At the National 9/11 Memorial, the names of Squad Company 1 members killed in the attacks are located at the South Pool, on Panels S-6 and S-7.
