With 266 fatalities, this would have been the worst incident that I responded to in my entire career; instead it was dwarfed by the 9/11 terrorist attacks which occurred two months earlier. May they all rest in peace...

Many good memories of the Jerome Avenue Animal House. Lot's of first due work back then and a terrific group of Brothers to work alongside.

Rest in peace Brother ... Condolences to his family and the Brothers at 90 Engine & 41 Truck ...

I did not know the Chief, but as a fellow F.D.N.Y. 'retiree' who now lives 1200 miles away from the job that I loved ... my thanks to you and the rest of the Brothers & Sisters at V.B.F.D.'s '10 & 10' for continuing the age old fire service tradition of 'doing the right thing'. From the...

I covered a night tour in R4 during the wakes. We stopped at the site on the way back from a run and walked through the scene. I remember how badly I felt, almost not believing what had happened. Little did I know that this was soon to be followed by so much more loss ...  May God Bless you...

So many tragedies and so many terrific firefighters gone too soon throughout the history of the fire service. May they all rest in peace.

God bless Jon Stuart. He's one of very few TV personalities who actually cares about the sick & dying 9/11 responders and he never passes up a chance to expose politicians who show that they could care less. http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/tue-april-26-2011-elizabeth-warren

Rudy's 'Right Hand Man' ... This guy disrespected the deceased responders of 9/11 by his actions during the rescue & recovery operation ... I'm glad the judge is keeping him behind bars...

Is this the same retired ESU guy who ran the Metropolitan Fire Association in Staten Island for many years? Wasn't that group basically a Boy Scout Explorer organization? http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2011/03/25/2011-03-25_retired_hero_cop_is_busted_in_pa_on_sexabuse_charges.html

Hey Capt. ... That was back when you washed the apparatus wheels because there actually WAS horse s**t on them ...   "69Mets", I think Johnny D (Johnd248) was around for those days too. When I came into the picture a few years later, most of those horse rigs were placed in reserve. LOL ...

Wow Grumpy ... how much effort would that have taken? We frequently used to pull the rig out on the apron for visiting photographer's ... courtesy & company pride

Condolences to his family and his Brothers in 28 / 11. Rest in peace Brother ...

Our "Elected Employees" in D.C. really don't seem to understand that sick and dying people don't have extra time available to sit around and wait for them to do the right thing ...

We had one of those in our kitchen when I was a kid. I wish I still had it for nostalgia purposes.
