    Back Step Riding

    Wasn't there an incident in the '80s? where a FF fell off the back step on a turn and was killed? I'm not sure if it was the FDNY.

    5/2/24 Brooklyn 2nd Alarm Box 2967

    My work location is on 71st around 16th av. We were getting a heavy smell of smoke in and around the building around 3pm I assume from this fire. Strange because the fire at Box 2865 last week was only a few blocks away and it wasn't near as much.

    4/23/24 Brooklyn 4th Alarm Box 2865

    I work a few blocks away on 71st and I went out to take a look. They had their hands full there but a great job of keeping it just to those 2 buildings. Not easy streets to work on.

    4/7/24 Brooklyn All Hands Box 0484

    Very true. I worked North Brooklyn for 25 years and the Heights was part of my turf. My job required me going into the premise so I saw MANY of the interiors and some were really impressive. You did have to watch yourself because as you said they wouldn't hesitate to call with customer...

    FDNY Lt Arrested on EMS Run

    NY Post clowns. What does the guy's salary have to do with it? Another way to put the public against people for what they make.

    1/11/24 Brooklyn Box 1668 - Riot [!]

    Rough spot. Years ago when our guys got dispatched there it was a 4 man area.

    Encryption of public safety frequencies growing nationwide

    Here's another side to it, sometimes a missing person report is broadcast in NYC for example. The description is given and it goes out over the radio and someone monitoring it in the area may see something. Being that cops, fire or EMS can't be everywhere a citizen may help save someone who may...
