I agree Mack, I don't think there was a minimum staffing requirement back then.

Actually, I can't say. I don't know what the staffing for a truck company was back then.

My Dad was a Lieutenant in Ladder Co. 101 from 1950 - 1961. This photo of him and his crew was taken in front of the old firehouse which is now home to 'Friends of Firefighters'.

A member of the retirees group I belong to was a Fireman working in Ladder Co. 7 at the 23rd St. fire. He's a great guy who retired many years later as a Lieutenant. He once asked me how we continued to function after 9/11 (due to our massive loss). In return I asked him how he and his Brothers...

I agree Chief. Vinnie and I worked together in E-234 as Firefighters years ago. Great guy.

Prayers for the fallen Firefighter may he rest in eternal peace. Condolences to the fallen member's family and members of the H.F.D.. Prayers for the member from TAC-1 for a speedy recovery.

The rich corporate types at The NY Post have already jumped on the band wagon to bash efforts to continue helping sick and dying 9/11 responders: http://nypost.com/2014/09/13/ground-zero-dust-up/
