Only going over Niagra Falls in a wooden barrel is more dangerous than operating adjacent to a moving lane of traffic.

John Kinsel, Sr. died on Oct 19 at age 107. As a member of the 3rd Marine Division, he survived combat in the invasion of Bougainville Island, Guam, and Iwo Jima. Mr. Kinsel was born in 1917 in Lukachukai, Arizona.....on the Navajo Indian Reservation. Although unable to vote as a Native...

Like a lot of things in the fire service, The Ten Standard Firefighting Orders can be traced back to August 5, 1949. On that day 13 firefighters lost their lives along the Missouri River in Montana fighting the Mann Gulch Fire. In 1992, Norman Maclean wrote the book "Young Men And Fire". This...

This is all reflected in the U.S. Forest Service "Ten Standard Wildland Firefighting Orders". In addition, there are 18 "Watch Out Situations". I would hope they are all included in AUC #151.

This, while busy, is nothing compared to April 20. 1963. At one point, 80 companies were operating or relocated in Staten Island. In Brooklyn a Chief requested a fifth alarm on arrival. On the bells, an engine company tapped in service (4-4-4) as the eighth section in SI. Between 11:47 am and...

Northwest Houston. Windy Outside temp 89 degrees. Fortunately, the wind is blowing to the west, away from the freeway. https://abc13.com/post/large-fire-burning-northwest-houston-off-bingle-road-highway-290/15523700/

Thanks Chief. O'Hagan helping the laid off members came from Gus Johnson's FDNY The Firebuff's Handbook. I would wager he was friends with O'Hagan. The blackball comment came from Jerry C. or someone I knew who was wired into the Houston Chief's office in the 1970's I wonder how O'Hagan did...

I'm still trying to get an answer on O'Hagan. There will always be a challenge to hire new members in this town. There are too many well paying jobs around in construction, manufacturing, and the petrochemical industry. Plus, the City of Houston is not known as a dynamic employer in that...

I'm not sure that you can use hipster and midwest in the same sentence.

In 1975 almost one thousand FDNY firefighters were laid as a result of the fiscal crisis in the city. Reportedly, Chief O'Hagan contacted departments around the country to encourage hiring laid-off members who wanted to leave the New York area. I believe Houston was one of those contacted...

https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2024/10/25/national-firefighter-shortage-impacts-houston-fire-department/ Yeah, it can be hot here. 92 degrees at my house Friday. But, you'll get used to it.

Depends where you are in Houston. At Station 19 at Gregg and New Orleans Streets, the Baby Moses Law also covers GSW's dumped on the front slab. https://www.rodeohouston.com/rodeo-announces-partnership-with-curtis-50-cent-jacksons-sire-spirits-for-2024/ A long way from the NYHA projects

Is that the best they can do in the 103? South Jamaica gangsta homeboy 50 Cent now lives in Houston and I'm guessing he's carrying more firepower than that legally under the front seat of his car.
