    0k, DMA, i respect that you are so sure. But before I launch into any boring discussion, may I ask if you ever lived in any of these buildings on the streets of New York?

    9/3/25 Bronx All Hands Box 4850

    Nope. It's a five story fall and then you hit the ground. All depends on how you look at it... Including CIDS.

    9/3/25 Manhattan 10-77 Box 1446

    Great story 114. Reminds me of friends on the Bridgeport, CT, FD at the time. The BFD was on the same frequency as the Queen's CO. Late at night Bridgeport Engine 4 would be roused out to respond to a box in Queens until they figured it out.

    Normal response 45 88 46 42 48 58 38 27F 56 Looks like L38 operating over on Woodycrest Avenue after relocating to L49. 88, 46, and 48?

    8/15/25 Bronx 2nd Alarm Box 2412

    Just a request... It is helpful to see a line through relocators who have subsequently been assigned to the incident. Makes for an easier read. But the effort and thoroughness of the rundown is appreciated.

    8/6/25 Bronx 10-75 Box 3303

    Long run from Lincoln Center to Webster Avenue for L35. And isn't 35 a TL... Isn't that an unusual relocation? More likely 35 to 58?

    Hmmmm, let's see...."All Hands"? 8 engines (counting Q41)... 8 ladders... R3... 2 battalion chiefs... 1 deputy chief... And, of course, the RAC. I had an uncle back during the War Years who was Chief of Battalion 14. His nickname was "All Hands Kelly". 3 and 2, and Himself. He didn't like the...

    NYS Legislators pass law to open NYPD radio encryption to public

    I was told by members of the Bridgeport Fire Department some years ago that their frequency (153.77) was the same as FDNY Queens Dispatch. Upon occasion, and depending upon the weather and wind directions, Bridgeport firefighters might be jolted from their beds to respond to an incident on...

    Suffield, Ct Barn Fire 7/19/25

    That is certainly true. In my former town of Trumbull Connecticut there is a place called Katz' Pond which housed a famous witch hazel factory on its shoreline. Operated into the 1940s I think, maybe even later. My first run as a volunteer firefighter for the Long Hill Fire company was to Katz...

    Suffield, Ct Barn Fire 7/19/25

    And Connecticut does not grow any nutmegat all. As far as I know it all comes from Indonesia. It's known as the Nutmeg State because years ago merchants in New Haven used to sell phony stuff and call it nutmeg. Big scandal at the time.
