I guess like some people call tower ladders cherry pickers. It just ain’t right

I’ve saw on other sites pictures of other departments like LA where they used them for Rescue rigs and Haz May rigs. My guess is this type of rig has more compartment space and a top storage area. I also saw one that had a heavy duty like tow truck hoist mounted on top by where the turntable...

I remember that in da Bronx. Also, I went to Catholic Grammar School and when the nuns, still in those head-to-toe habits, heard the sirens or bells they would stop class and lead us in prayer.

This was after the slime green version, with Kermit on da front . They took the rig out and painted it this color and, as a junior member, I was handed a small can of red paint and a small brush by the Captain to touch up dings from when the butts hit it.

In the first picture above, part of Signal73 post, what is hanging off the tip of the aerial ladder. It looks like a small wrecking ball

St. Simon Stock school on Valentine and 182 closed but Cardinal Hayes HS down da Concourse near da Court House and Yankee Stadium is still going. Some pictures I just saw recently shows that it is as clean and neat and the students are as neat as ever. Regis would be proud.

The way it wuz and probably still is, once something makes it onto the rig it never comes off

666 is the devils address

Kinda like da "Q" siren in da past. It wasn't allowed so before your rig went to da shops, ya had to take it off.

The unit they are normally assigned to. They are staffed by ot members. It’s just like someone from E45 working in L58. They still wear their own gear.

How duz 58 go in as FAST Truck????

This appears to be like the third job in these buildings in about the last week

I just saw part of a story on tv concerning a DC Firefighter being shot by a 17 y/o. Firefighter was rushed to the hospital, and the youth is in custody with a gunshot to the hand. Does anyone have any additional info.
