Thanks for sharing.

Living in the Bronx during the 1970’s, prior to getting on the job, I buffed fires. Looking back it is amazing how high tech buffing has become. All scanners were crystal controlled. You had to purchase a 5 dollar crystal for each frequency you wanted to listen to (typically from Radio Shack)...

Thanks for sharing. These structures are difficult to battle. Strategy is simple, but tactics are often very challenging. Looks like they did a good job.

ChiefBlackcloud - good catch on recognizing this fire building as the same as the 2nd back on 2/21. It was under construction/ renovation back then…..hmmmm

Thank you for the clarification

Thank you for the update. I was unsure if it was 68 or 69. Stay well

Thank you for the correction as I was typing it I knew it was not right LOL

Prayers to the firefighter’s family

We will see how long this experiment lasts.

May all who ride upon this rig always return home safely

Congratulations and may they have long , safe careers
