    3/14/22 Brooklyn 5th Alarm Box 553

    After Fire Patrol #3 was disbanded I had to go through the building to get to the back for terminal access. I believe a real estate agent let me in and pretty much left me alone. I took the opportunity to walk around and check the inside. It was a nice building alot of wood and original...

    Fortunato Bros. had some good pastry I haven't been there in years. That was one good thing about working the neighborhood.

    World Trade Center 1993

    To those who were lost Rest In Peace. My wife worked in the south tower but was having lunch with friends in the north tower when the bomb went off. She and her friend walked down the stairwell 40 floors from the cafeteria. They were caught in the heat and smoke with hundreds of others trying to...

    FDNY firefighter busted with assault weapon, ‘ghost gun’ parts in sting

    In this part of the country guilt is always assumed when a firearm is involved. Now if the guy didn't have a permit or FFL that was certainly dumb. Actually the hi-cap mags probably will get you in more trouble than anything else.

    Dennis Smith, RIP

    Rest In Peace Mr. Smith. I read a few of his books starting with Report From Engine Co. 82 and all were excellent. Report From Ground Zero might be his best.

    1/19/22 Brooklyn 2nd Alarm Box 1401

    I know that place well I worked in the building many times. There used to be alot of businesses in there. There's a phone room behind E241 near where the bucket is. Funny thing is I repaired the phone in that big trailer years ago. The building itself is pretty beat up.

    CHESTER ST BROWNSVILLE BKLYN 1970

    I'm no engineer or expert but just looking at the first pictures it just seemed like that building was gonna come down. When the slideshow got to the collapse pictures I'm thinking "I knew that building was coming down". I can't explain why that came into my head either.

    1/14/22 Brooklyn All-Hands Box 0487

    I got a chance to see E224s quarters many times because one of our terminals was in the basement. It looked like a classic firehouse and good group of guys there no matter who was working. They'd always offer a cup of coffee and at one time I actually had to repair their phone so I sat around...
