They were and are all the best. In the early 1960's there was a Firefighter Ed Surko, (Rest In Peace) who was one of the founding divers. I forget if he went to the Marine Division from Engine 297 or vice-versa. Ed was featured, among other divers, in a WNYF article relating to a Dept. Of...

Nimitro, very, very nice photos and clear as a bell. Good to see the EMS Deputy Chief whom I worked with when he was just a new kid on the block. Richie is a great guy and I wish him well.

$1250 a month the City suddenly can afford, but, the City retirees on Medicare are being forced to go with a Medicare Advantage Plan because the City cannot afford to have us on Medicare. Am I missing something here or just being senile?

During the school year there is more Malicious False Alarms at that school than there are students. Seems like at least one a day.

Yes it is shared with EMS. The kitchen table was built by a now retired Firefighter and proudly displays the company patch of Engine 168 and EMS Station 23. There is a time capsule within the table consisting of rosters, among other paperwork, of both units.

You heard incorrectly on the kitchen size @ 168 skyler. It has some roominess to it.

I sympathize with the merchants and their plight but don't blame the Police for not doing anything. Blame the Mayor (in title only) for not allowing the Police to retake control. "It'll work it self out" says he. He should work himself right out of office, the city, the state and the Country...

So is the box number.

I doubt that.

Let's see now, that's about the 3rd PRU program that tanked that I can remember.

Hope the owner had that extended warranty that "Ice-T" promotes on tv. lol

Wasn't there some type of laundry facility there, maybe for deconning gear?

I would think 168 would beat 158 into that box.

Chief, so very true. I know that you and I wish him all the best.

The Chief of the 54 looks the same as he did 25 years ago. Hasn't aged a bit!

May you all continue to Rest In Peace and we, of the grateful society, thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Photo 3 is E273/L129 House watch desk.

"Johnny" back in the early 60's I recall the truck officer used to chalk it on the board by the house watch desk i.e. Chauff., Tiller, Irons, 6 ft. hook and the "can" man. I'm pretty sure that was the nomenclature back then.

You have that correct! Just another chapter in the book, "You Can't Make This S**T Up."

Another "looks good on paper" City Hall project. Wait until City Hall sees the amount of paperwork they'll receive from the field when this peachy keen idea backfires and the responders injuries soar. And just think with the 6% added to EMS salary they can now have a "Twinkie" with their coffee.
