9/11/25 Manhattan All Hands Box 0432
Donnie, before 133 was born, 150 was second due in Bricktown. Down Jamaica Ave to 176 St and go south. You guys, 133, changed the landscape for our entire area. We, 150, would go down to the City line. Go up into northeast Queens and we were on the Cross Island Parkway. It was lateral, not vertical. -

When I was in TL-111, 1989 to mid 90’s, we were always down Albany Ave into Crown Heights. 2nd due at the Albany Ave Projects. I remember hammering cinder block windows with the maul via the Bucket on Eastern Pkwy in that area. Had many serious Jobs with 111, and then with TL-120, in that area. -

Retired Disp 102/247 George Munch
Warren & George were Hall of Famers. When Warren was retiring, we, TL-120 took a ride to the Brooklyn Dispatch Office, along with the 44 Battalion. We presented Warren with a fire alarm bell, that was in each quarters and would bang out the box numbers. I told him it was from one 120, to another...- jkal

TL-120 has Never relocated to TL-31. It’s like the Battle of the Titans, besides being a hike for 120. -

8/26/24 Brooklyn 4th Alarm Box 1676
Nice positioning by TL-120. Backing In. Fire blows out on the 2nd & 3rd floor. The Chauffeur of 120 was ready to enter the second floor window and it exploded. He then took the members off the roof, it was untenable. The density of the smoke is indicative of it lighting up. The gases rolling...
