PMP, Education day, Medicals... These are the type OOS days Tom Eves meant for what became the G-Man Rule.

"Duck and cover"... That's what a short film instructed us to do as grammar school kids.

And there were no 3d due companies assigned on the box. I believe a second alarm got four engines... Probably 79, 48, 43, 95. If I recall correctly the 52's did not leave Riverdale in those days.

The original 41 precinct was in the building on Webster Avenue that is now the 52nd precinct. Beautiful building both outside and inside. Resembles an old fortress from Webster Avenue. I even got to see the inside, standing before the desk sergeant after a brawl in the Jolly Tinker Pub. (The...

I was not looking for a pissing contest here. Tom Eves (guitarman314) and I were good friends in the Fire Bell Club going back over two decades. Tom's original observation was simple: it seemed that when a company was OUT OF SERVICE for an ADMINISTRATIVE reason it was likely to miss a good...

Driving that tiller must have been a lot of fun.

Yonkers 304/74 would be first due... About a half mile away😮‍💨

Actually, for the record, in ancient times (even before mac8146) neither the 52s nor 63/39 were assigned outside of Riverdale, Wakefield, nor Woodlawn, respectively, beyond the first alarm so this route was not an issue back then. It's why I asked the question to begin with.

Dude? LMAO

A pissin' contest!... Great, not much action in the Bronx lately... If 32 was in fact first due that makes it a G-Man Rule for 62.
