I notice that in Brownstones the FDNY calls the floor at the top of the front steps the parlor floor. I understand this is done to clear up confusion between the floor level below the front steps. It seems many parts of NYC have Brownstones, but I only hear them call it the parlor floor in...

Those had to be built after 2004 right? I never remember construction back there. I remember newer people having a hard time finding Admiral Ave but that was long before these were built.

Rest in peace sir. I never met Frank, but I will miss his posts on here.

I used to buff at 74 in the early 90's. They had a dalmation then named Sparky who was a great dog. That was the days before "The Lost World" when the Pink Panther was the mascot on 74's rig.

I understand the clean cab concept. My question was where is this written as an NFPA guideline? I hear a lot of people "quoting" NFPA mandates, but I don't see it written or an NFPA statute on it.

I have heard this stated a few times, but I have never seen anything legitimately written on this. I'm not looking to argue your post, I'm wondering if you saw this NFPA standard written or can give the NFPA statute number on this?

1 Used to be Cooper's Ale House and is now Yerman's. Spent MANY nights there after shifts at St. John's.

NYC Firewire and BNN had it as 88-13 Aubrey Ave. I spent most of my youth at 88-11 Aubrey where my cousins lived. Anyone see any pics of the job?

Do 220 and 122 still have separate house watches?

If 293 and 136 were extra then 286 had to be the 4th engine.

Wouldn't 277 get in before 206 or 291? Maybe that's who's missing on the run down. I think they're all pretty close for 4th due engine.

So that's the bid opening. Was the bid awarded to Seagrave? How many units if it was awarded?

Dan, thanks for the great stories. I always look forwarded to coming on here to read "Glory Days" and I will miss this in the future.

Interesting parking by 319 to keep the street clear for the trucks.

206's old house sat vacant for many years. I can remember going past there in the early 80's and seeing it in a state of disrepair with broken windows and graffiti all over it. Quite a difference from today and the high end real estate in the Bushwick/Williamsburg area.

Chief, I know I read your account of the move before, but I can't remember what was said. Were the members of R2 happy about the move from Carlton Ave to Bergen St at the time?

Anyone know the normal assignment for this box? I was thinking: E287, SQ288, E319, E289 L136, TL138, I'm not sure who's FAST. I think 151, 135, 140 and 154 are all pretty close to the same distance.

I'm just curious, from the guys who were or still on the job. Heavy volume of fire like this on the top floor of a 3 story MD. Is the first line still an 1.75"? I'm definitely not saying either is wrong, just wondering what the SOP says.

Wow! Amazing job on the history of 7/1. Thanks for doing this Mack. I also really enjoyed the history of 286/135 and the volunteer departments in Glendale before them. I grew near the firehouse and spent my youth chasing both companies on my bike.

I've known Doug over 25 years, since our days at St John's Hosp. I'll certainly be praying for him.
