Emergency! Tribute to Johnny Gage

[razyraz03]

Rachael with Vintage Media here! I wanted to share with you all a few pages taken from our Emergency! Issue of Vintage Fire Truck & Equipment! This is from the 2nd edition.

I thought that with the passing of Johnny Gage, you all might enjoy a peek at what's inside the issue.

We sell this special edition as a bundle with a diecast firetruck, as just a single printed issue or as a digital issue.

I had the honor of meeting Rich Mantooth who played Johnny Gauge in the show "Emergency". We (Engine 26) were operating a ceiler fire in Midtown on a very hot July day. We got some water and were sitting down on the curb across from the fire building, taking a "Blow"=
Break from a very hot fire on a very hot day. I looked behind us and Rich Mantooth was looking at us, from behind a tape barrier. As a buff for many years, I knew the show "Emergency" and here was one of my T.V. hero's. I got to my feet and walked over and shook his hand. I wish we had a camara.
I am very active on this site and have enjoyed "Johnny's" input and his knowledge. I feel we have truly lost one of our own. "TAKE UP 51"
Rest in Peace Brother. Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired.
