I remember stories every day in the NY Daily News and on tv about the disgraceful condition of the city and the fires. Furlough FDNY members?! In a city where they let fires burn due to "civil unrest" and inability of the cops to control crime. Besides the clowns of the city trying to downplay...
I am just starting 1973 and i think this is the best book on the FDNY I have read. The stats are amazing and I like to see the locations in Brooklyn I've worked throughout my career listed and look at Google map images of how much has changed since then. I'm not a member so my question to the...
Wouldn't Richmond Engine be sent anyway being that they're so close? Instead of say E167 whose probably at least 10 min further away. I don't know if they have staff there all the time or not.
I got this a couple days ago and got to look through it. Beautiful work and probably the best FDNY book I have. My uncle Mike was a War Years FF and I grew up in the late '60s-'70s so it has alot of memories for me. I remember my parents taking me to E165 way back in the early '70s when I lived...
I use the US Law Shield. It cost me a small amount for the piece of mind having lawyers to contact in a situation. If I'm in a real jam its Evan Nappen. I live in NJ so even coming face to face with someone in my own house I'll have to defend myself for taking them out. Castle doctrine or not...
I was surprised to read there are still that many false alarms. I know its way down from the War Years but I guess there's still alot of a-holes around.
My work location is on 71st around 16th av. We were getting a heavy smell of smoke in and around the building around 3pm I assume from this fire. Strange because the fire at Box 2865 last week was only a few blocks away and it wasn't near as much.
I work a few blocks away on 71st and I went out to take a look. They had their hands full there but a great job of keeping it just to those 2 buildings. Not easy streets to work on.
Very true. I worked North Brooklyn for 25 years and the Heights was part of my turf. My job required me going into the premise so I saw MANY of the interiors and some were really impressive. You did have to watch yourself because as you said they wouldn't hesitate to call with customer...
