The new logo looks great! I'm not quite sure how it will take 3 years to renovate the house however. They can build a new 100 story high-rise in that length of time (once they get started at least) elsewhere in NYC.

What did he do that made such a drastic change?

Just saw this promotion from Ferrara: Inundator Super Pumper.  They are introducing it at Interschutz 2015 this week.  It certainly has some pretty remarkable specifications!  I'm not sure how big the market for it in the fire service is but I'm sure there will be some applications for it in the...

That's very true and for those departments border crossings are a wave through.  Equipment just slows down when going through the border crossings.  I believe firefighters in their POVs have to stop but even then it's just a cursory crossing.  Both of those areas are rural however and probably...

Very Well Said And Also Very True!

KEB525, what advantages do you see of the present arrangement over that of every other airport in the United States with the ARFF being a completely separate element that is either part of the local fire department or completely standalone?  What disadvantage do you see if the airport for...

I don't think anyone except the PA would disagree with that!

An 1100 foot tall skyscraper in Dubai is presently burning.  Ironically the name of the tower is the "Torch"!  Here's a story from the BBC: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-31562099.  It's one of the tallest all residential buildings in the world, the fire started on the 50th floor.

Those stations, like many others used by FDNY and elsewhere in America are truly a timeless remembrance to those who have served with dedication in the fire service.  Stations that have this type of feel and look will never be able to be built again, not only because of the cost but because of...

Thanks for posting, nice to see so many of the FDNY units are showing their support!

Four local fire departments fought a major fire in a huge local home that was still under construction last night into this morning.  The 1st arriving chief stated the structure was larger than many commercial fires they had fought.  Firefighting efforts were severely hampered by limited water...

Firefighters in Danville Kentucky were called to an incident on Main Street where a huge swarm of bees had trapped customers in a store.  Eventually the bees were relocated and the customers rescued!  Here's a story press...

Here's a video from CNN showing the actual explosion: http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/us/2014/05/12/tsr-vo-new-hampshire-house-explodes.cnn.html.  Police officers were responding to the home for reports of multiple gunshots just before the explosion.  It's fortunate that firefighters...

That's quite a parade of tankers!  I wonder if they only utilized them before the fireboats got set up?  Seems like the fire boats would be able to supply enough water for just about anything.

Hopefully somebody will get some good pictures of M ? 9 at the scene.  We really haven't seen any pictures of either of the big new boats fighting a major fire!
