Was E43 out? I can't believe they weren't on the 2nd.

I'm out 10 years. They brought the 10-30 back?

River Park Towers "One way in, one way out. If you ain't from here, don't come here!"

Which means you didn't do your job right the first time.

No such thing as a rekindle

Was E43 out? They should be 2nd due.

May have changed since I retired but it went by who was first due. E-76 on the West side and E-22 on the East side was Sq-41's area.

Not many vacants left in the city. Blessed to be able to learn the craft from some senior men in those buildings.

Yes. Truck always gets the front. Aerial's usually take a side street if possible on a taxpayer to leave room for TL's for defensive operations later. Maybe it was one of those unwritten things I learned from the guys years ago. 1 story taxpayers are easily reachable with portable ladders. Also...

Aerials are not to position in front at a taxpayer fire to leave room for TL's. Has FF Procedures changed since I retired?

Had a credit union next to the firehouse. Paydays were horrific!!!

Thanks. Guess I should have spent more time in the books. That's why it took me 3 times to pass the Lt's test.

"Canarsie style" tenement? Is that an update in the books?

Thank you
