Johnny Gage, thanks for the walk through FDNY history. Please keep the "tidbits" coming!

What a great honor to be able to talk "shop" with an FDNY legend!

Keep fighting Doug, prayers for a rapid recovery.

Happy Birthday Rev!

I am heading out to the FDIC conference in Indianapolis in April.  This new battery operated fire truck will be displayed at the exhibit hall.  I will file on-scene reports and pictures once I get a chance to look at this new apparatus. 

Johnny Gage, Thank you so much for the great stories of your time with the DCFD.  I grew up 50 miles south of DC in Fredericksburg, VA.  My close encounter with DCFD came in the spring of 1982.  I was picking a girlfriend up from a relatives apartment that was on Columbia Rd. in Adams Morgan. ...

http://www.nbc29.com/story/37089379/emergency-crews-battle-fatal-fire-12-18-2017 For the Brothers that have visited or ridden with me, this fire occurred just north of Fire Station 12 across the line in Greene County, VA.  Engine 121, Medic 12, Engine 41 and Battalion 13 responded from...

Thanks for posting about 85/59 Joe.  I have always found this to be an interesting part of FDNY history, the quick construction of metal (Butler) buildings as Firehouses.  Isn't this just a few blocks from 82/31?  So different than what many of us are use to, having companies so close together. ...

I am sure most, if not all of you, on this site have been keeping up with the collision of the USS Fitzgerald and a container ship off the coast of Japan.  Seven Sailors are confirmed dead in this tragic event.  Sadly, one of the sailors killed, Gunners Mate Dakota Rigsby, was a firefighter in...

May all the FDNY Brothers and Sisters lost recently Rest In Eternal Peace.

Mack, thank you for posting this detailed account.  Another maybe: maybe if Harrisburg policy makers adequately funded the Fire Department so there are fully staffed fire companies, and enough staffed companies on the initial alarm; the Lt. would not have needed to leave his Brother Firefighters...

Congratulations to Mike and Roseann!  And congratulations to you Joe on gaining a new member of the family!

Thanks for the information on Ladder 8 and the interesting discussion on the reassignment of Ladder companies.

Is Ladder 8 in their own quarters or are they relocated to another house for renovation of their firehouse?

Rest in peace Chief

Chesterfield County, Virginia; just south of Richmond http://www.nbc12.com/story/30986035/2-children-among-5-dead-in-chesterfield-house-fire

A little job we had yesterday 12/16/15, in Albemarle County, VA.  I was off, Battalion 12 had the incident.  The first due Engine, Engine 1 from the City of Charlottesville on automatic aid, made a nice quick knockdown, backed up by Engine 82.  Amazing how well it goes when you stretch a line...

I know this may have been explained before on this forum, but I cannot find the thread.  I was reading in the most current WNYF an article about a collapse at a fire on Jennings Street in 1974.  In this article, it is referenced that when additional assistance was requested, a dispatchers 3rd...

May all the brothers who have recently passed rest in eternal peace.  Thank you all for your service.

Prayers for the Brazilian Police Officer and his family.  He was killed in a cycling accident while competing in the World Fire and Police Games being held in Fairfax, Virginia.  2 other Brazilian Officers were seriously injured and are still in the hospital in Virginia.  Prayers for their rapid...
