The great single engines get it done alone. They feel like they don’t even need a truck. Think 275 mightta reminded us of that a few times early on..lol.

Only a few blocks from where Police Officer Eddie Byrne was murdered. May Officer Byrne continue to Rest in Peace.

Air chisel was excellent for that and also for shearing off head of carriage bolts on HUD windows.

I had almost 25 years on the job when I went to 133. I pled that case to the dispatchers…”aged out and couldn’t relocate”. They didn’t buy it..lol.

So I assume you called the brothers of the 46 battalion (among the best anywhere)....and asked them why they didn't "put it out correctly" the first two times? :rolleyes:

Another MUD job. At least this one was closer to the drill site…assuming it’s in the same spot.

Rest in Peace, Lt Elliott. Yes...definitely a life well lived. Prayers for the family.

Another Sunday morning MUD job for 275/133. It always amazed me how many times MUD was “interrupted” by fire duty. Also, assuming the drill site is the same as it was years ago…that is one loooong run to that job!

Block was always one Indian restaurant after another. Smoke from the roof…fire first floor. Betting duct fire.

The dreaded box 920. When you were up for evaluation, you'd sit in the kitchen listening to the bells...praying you didn't hear 7-920-11...lol. For other boroughs of course it was 7-66-920-108. Not a fun day with Capt. Maistrich (sp).

I remember the job. Believe it was on Ave D. Seemed like everyone had a feather in their helmet for weeks afterwards...lol.

Unrelated to this thread but I thought pretty cool. Seems like yesterday, Bob. That Bob DeMartini in the bucket with you?

Lol Ken. Yes it has. The one that comes to mind was a certain Captain of a South Bronx engine after his promotion.

Ken...wonder if they tied it up and tossed it out the window...lol.
