A FF friend was on light duty at the Mand Library and was assigned to drive an FDNY marked communcations van. Returning to Randalls Island later in the day, he noticed several toll takers laughing and pointing at his vehicle. The guy in the booth informed him of the magnetic "free pizza...

6 storey elevator building. Jerome Park?...nah, that's over by the Reservoir. This is Bedford Park.

Deck pipe in my day...replaced by the portable multiversal with the late 1950s Mack C models. (See capttomo's new post in General Discussion for better info.) Deck pipes were originally mounted on hose wagons and carried the common name of fireboat monitors.

E14 relocates to E88...a long run from from 18th St. I am betting that relocation has never happened before. But there is a connection between engine 14 and engine 88... In 1922, E88 replaced its horses with a tractor driven steamer and motorized hose wagon reassigned from engine 14. What...

5 Storey

But while I am at it (love getting tangled up in this stuff)... Traditional assignment, when all companies in their original quarters (pre 1980s)... 62 79 48. 32 37 38 63 81 39 51 48s move a few blocks south in 1984j jumbled the whole assignment. Pre BARB, 48 a straight run up Webster Ave...

t 2:32 PM Add bookmark #3 Pre BARB, 75/33 3d Due, 81/46 4th, 88/38 5th. 62 relocates to 79. (75/33 must have been out elsewhere today to not be assigned at all.)

Oops! This reply was supposed to be for Box 3516. My bad. Thanks for the catch. I will try to repost where it should be.

Pre BARB, 75/33 3d Due, 81/46 4th, 88/38 5th. 62 relocates to 79. (75/33 must have been out elsewhere today to not be assigned at all.)

First front line rig (other than Rescues) equipped with an air horn.

I am guessing that CD pumper is E46-2. Most of the 2nd sections organized in 1968 began using Cd rigs. Also, the 1956 ALF shown for L106 was the same model that L27 used for years prior to getting the newer ALF as shown. I don't know if it's the same one. I do have all the rig serial numbers...

Marine units?

Thats Bedford Park, not Norwood. That may be the building that LT John J. Molloy, E48, resided in with his family. LODD, 04/04/1956.

1960, when this film was produced, was way prior to the Vietnam Nam era. Hokey? Please consider this, which I am writing off the top of my head tonight. Some specifics may be askew but the gist is correct. On 1 June 1934, Captain Harold Burke of the FDNY was promoted to battalion chief and...

As a grammar school kid, (OLR, Bedford Park, if that means anything), my schoolyard bunch got bored with Orchard Beach. Just Bronx street kids looking for a thrill, local lore tipped us off to the possibility of some fun and adventure at the Fordham Street dock on City Island where the Hart’s...

Oh jeez...just get them off the hydrant...

Still a great question Rachamner. I recall asking my Dad the same thing when I was a young’un, like maybe in grade school. I will let those who have knowledge of today’s union/labor laws address this current situation, but perhaps I can give a historical perspective, the times before there was...

If you like your plan you can keep your plan... If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor... Haven't we heard all this before?

In my day (born and raised in the Bronx) East Tremont was considrred to be out on Tremont Ave by St Raymond's Cemetery and beyond. Used to go to the Fin' McCool niteclub in my college days, owned by (the late) Mike Boland, himself from across the pond, tiller man on H&L 43, East Harlem, late...

Tremont. Crotona is further east and south. Some maps say East Tremont But that used to be considered out near throggs's neck.
