C'mon, look at the bright side. At least she wasn't leaning on her rabbi to swing a spot in Rescue.

If you are going to watch one thing on Memorial Day, watch "The Cold Blue". Done in 2018, it is a movie using the remastered, digitized outtakes of William Wyler's film "The Memphis Belle", recorded in the Spring of 1943 and released in the Summer of that year. Saying that combat photography is...

There's supposed to be a political event in the Bronx today. I wonder if the handlers will arrange a visit to the "President's Corner". While there they can symbolically transmit the All Hands for 2743. They can use a bell or airhorn--66-75-2743. And don't forget the T shirts!

None of this compares to Pasadena (Where the grass is greena...and so is the air), Texas back in the old days. Home of the largest municipal volunteer fire department in the US, the place always had a sharp, metallic gas smell of danger to it. It instantly comes to mind when I hear a reference...

Ah! The smell of clean energy in the air.

Another world class thunderstorm just went through Houston. It tore down high voltage power lines from towers and landed across twelve lanes of freeway. HFD Rescue 11 cut them all with the gas saws and dragged them off. Traffic backed up for miles. For a while, you called 911 for the house fire...

Gus was certainly an Old School buff. You will learn why Ladder 24's quarters in Herald Square was buff central. The chapters on Iron Men and Hell's Hundred Acres are indispensable. In 1977, the list price was $9.95.

I thought that Nassau County was the FDNY farm team (Triple A or no?).

At one time didn't Engine 30 have three sections?

Nothing said about the electrical system. Looked like the buckle was about 3' by 4'. I assume the electrical systems would have both surge and arrester protection and that the runway rebar was grounded. I thought they would have had lightning rods across the field. It's a wide, flat space and...

Things are a little different around here. On the radio you can hear ads for in-door shooting ranges with lunch hour specials or new and improved concealed carry holsters. My personal favorite is Texas Law Shield. They provide legal representation after the gun smoke clears. Their motto: "Better...

With a short stroll north past Elfreth's Alley to 147 North 2nd Street, you can visit Firemen's Hall- home of the Philadelphia Fire Department Museum and old quarters of Engine Company 8 (historically Ben Franklin's old company).

They should have said that FDNY alarm equipment was not GI.........Gamewell Issued.

I don't think this is what they had in mind.

Row houses originated in the Low Countries of Northern Europe. English aristocrats hiding there during the civil turmoil of the 1600's brought the design back to Britain. From there the concept found its' way to the Colonies- especially Philadelphia and Baltimore. The design allows variation in...
