Good News for L-39 The Bx. 233RD Street finally being repaved from White plains Road down to Baychester Ave. That should keep the rig from falling apart way too soon. Only took DOT 5 Years to get it started.

A series of fires here. 2 years ago 10-75 2nd floor. 2011 2nd Alarm Here just knock it down already. Its a danger to the firefighters.

3 Years since we lost Lt. Russo. This community still mourns Your loss.

Gonna go with 1993? Shows they went into a Baker/Saulsbury 75'Tower. Its a guess.

OK So maybe now is the time to take away its operating license? No lessons learned ?

Ballys Golf Links.

This would have been a job for the old Fire Patrol guys. Trying to protect materials from water damage but with all that water not sure how much success they may have had.

Hi Chief I would have to agree. I realize so many Vollie companies are losing members due to attrition or just lack of interest. I do think more should be done to draw interest to the volunteer services. More advertising , Mention training and why its important especially where Vollies are so...

Thanks again Chief.

Chief any additional information on the response issue that You may have heard?

I hear You Chief My Dad used to say when they pull the Box they expect us to show no matter what the call.

I worked out of Monroe Co Pa, Station 29 When Lehman Co or Pike Co were short we put our crews on the road. We always supplied a BLS in most cases. This could have turned out bad.

Was it a manpower issue? Could not get 1 rig on the road?

So 39 Truck only tiller in the Bronx. I guess they are last right? Again, that Truck takes a beating. Hope they are up soon.

Looks like this thread was reviewed some years back. How were high ladders different from regular ones? Pretty good info there.
