I will never forget where I was. Manhattan CO, Decision Dispatcher. Had R-1 tied up on a possible scaffolding collapse downtown, with another one coming in up in Harlem. R-1 became available, we sent them. Dennis Mojica(RIP) was the boss in 1. R-4 was turned around and went into the job in...

The FDNY and the former FDNY Commissioner seem to think so. Thanks, Tom. @#$%##@!!!! http://www.myfoxny.com/story/18851934/fire-alarm-boxes#.T-Pc3P4hbEg

Just a side note from the first pdf posted. Sol Elbaum was my boss on a few tours when I came in the job back in 97. He passed recently.

That's a different ball of wax right there, and I could totally understand the scab remarks if that were the case.

It depends on who you ask, obviously. As you can see 2811 doesn't have a positive view of them. Most of them were there before FDNY established a presence. That's one of the reasons Oceanic and Richmond still exist today, on top of something like the City Charter, if I remember right...

I was fortunate to have attended this event last July. Wouldn't have missed it for anything. Got some pretty decent shots of not only the E! apparatus, but did about a day and a half of other apparatus from Long Beach, to LA CITY, to Torrance, and back to County. Also got to sit down and have...

The ALF they had 10 years ago is now privately owned by a fella up in Orange County.

I remember being awakened by a phone call that morning. I was sleeping off a great night of drinking with a friend for their birthday. My friend from Long Beach, CA called me to see if I was ok. I cranked up the scanner, and turned on the TV. My heart sunk when I found out where it was. I found...

Taken in front of Quarters Sunday Afternoon. Turning out on a Class 3 with the Engine.

Learned a lot from Solly, and his penchant for baloney sandwiches. May he rest in eternal peace. Atlas, could you let me know what the arrangements are via pm, please??

Here's two from NJ Heals.

Here's a few I dug up. Walkersville, MD Powder Blue and White. All photos taken by me. Frederick, MD Long Green, MD. The whistle up top is also painted like this. Lutherville, MD Mount Kisco, NY. Cream and Red. Port Jervis, NY. Gold over Red. White over Blue, and White over Metallic...

Never Forgotten...

Here's some of my pictures. Here's LA CITY Fireboat 2, the Warner Lawrence. The 343 and FFII are based on this design, and were built by the same company. I snagged this the weekend before.

Since I'm still in my 30's, I have zero recollection of the older Macks/WLF/ALF/Seagraves prior to say 1969. Anything prior to that probably wasn't in service in my early childhood. Personal favorites, 1979 Mack CF Engine Any Mack CF Engine from 1970 on, except for the 78's. Wasn't too fond of...

How about classic rigs??

Ask and you shall receive. These are the best I could get given conditons and location. Here's the new boat with the McKean and the Firefighter in the background. Stern view,

I remember the day, and remember seeing the armored vehicle on the highway that afternoon.

I've made a hobby out of photographing fire apparatus over the past few years. There have been only two places where I've had a little bit of an issue. The first was in California. I stopped by a house that ran two engines, a truck and two or three buses. They would only pull out the first...

Should have grabbed me earlier 347, we could have looked it up.
