Here is a bunch of familiar faces from a Christmas party years ago, I'm thinking 1990's. Maybe you'll recognize a couple of us...Pops not there, probably in the kitchen whipping us up deli-style burgers...(BTW, we almost met in Hemlock Farms, you almost sold my house, remember?)

Yes, you could always count on Pop to make a nice meal, with his experience working a side gig in a deli, Jimmy knew his way around the stove. It was a hoot working with him and his carpool sidekick and unofficially adopted son, Tommy Dunn. They were indeed Glory Days!

Hello Kristee, loved working with Pop (I gave him that nickname, oh what a look I would get), he was the ringmaster to us out of control knuckleheads, still young at heart and spirit he was the voice of reason.

Congrats to TK and JK, some heavy hitters on that order! I worked with Capt. Jimmy Gerrish, Frank Richie, BC Malachy McCann, DC Harry Meyers and of course my fave Lt. Q to name a few. Rest in peace Harold Hoey L 17. Wish all very happy and healthy retirement, living the dream.

Terrible news, God bless her, her family and work colleagues. When does it stop?

NYC is 76% Democrat, everyone should be having fun with their new neighbors.

Interviewing a member of L 124 for the book, he told me during the blackout, L 124 positioned itself in the middle of an intersection and just rotated the bucket from fire to fire.

Yes, it's his task. Controlling the elevator is paramount to an effective operation.

If you see any New York City firefighters wearing their navy blue dress uniforms, you may be able to tell where they were on September 11th, 2001. In 2003 Chief Peter Hayden and Chief Joe Pfeifer collaborated on designing a campaign commemorative decoration which was awarded to FDNY firefighters...
