    5-5-5-5 ...ACTIVE LT BRIAN J. SULLIVAN SQ*41.

    Will any one be attending the funeral? I intend to be going on Friday as I have off. I believe the other week whilst working an entrapment at the 28th PCT that I may have briefly met him as I was being cut out by ESU, R1 and SQ41. The professionalism of the members was second to none and I hope...

    Newark Fire Apparatus

    I think the case can be made that it's still a great department. But there are and certainly was external and internal politics that have hurt the department.

    Newark Fire Apparatus

    For those that don't know Newark is New Jersey's largest city that has both heavy fire duty and a poor financial decision making. It is not uncommon for companies in 1 and 2 Battalions to go to a fire every tour, sometimes going to even four. It is New Jersey's largest fire department staffing...

    86 Truck

    First off, thank you for the date correction. With some snooping on the site, I came by this picture on http://nycfire.net/forums/index.php?topic=14180.885 of L164, but it looks like a Mack not a FWD.

Going through the site I can only find their 1988 Mack 75 ft, with that said obviously they had at least one truck between then and when they were established in 1966. If any has info or...

    I once heard a story about Captain Gallagher being told to switch the ECC by a Battalion Chief and driving his desk over to him to give him what he needed to run his company. Do you know the full story?

    War Year Helmet Questions

    1. I've noticed on many helmets for the War Years there is a square white sticker with a blue star of life on it. Was there a guideline for their issue and wear? 2. I've seen other departments like Boston use buttons to screw their fronts on, but not to much in FDNY except perhaps in this...
