If its anything like what we do over here in the UK, its all about safety, dynamic risk assessments, and 'risk v benefits'. Every action and risk taken needs to be justified, if there is no life risk, then why risk a life, go to an exterior attack and 'wash it down the road'. I get the...

I see from very recent footage of Engine 1 that they have lost the front 'Empire State Building' statue with King Kong missing of the front of their rig, when i spent a day with the company few years ago it got a lot of mention from passers by and was photoed a lot. With E1 up for a new MII...

2 questions for those in the know; Is the minimum staffing for a Squad officer and 4 FF's or Officer and 5 FF's, do they occasionally run with 4 FF's?? Is there a reference source or book, that lists all boxes with a 1st 2nd and 3rd due reference included available anywhere? Thanks Guys JT

Which of the Squad company apparatus is due for replacement first? As i believe that some of them are coming up for replacement soon. When they do come up for replacement, are they considered within the same bid/spec/delivery as Engines, or will they go out as a completely seperate bid, be...

Any further info on the new rearmounts that were awarded to Ferrara?? JT

Here in London, our Sunday routines are pretty much 9am roll call, after that till 10am equipment checks, then either a station based drill or Borough/area combined unit drill, then any fire safety visits after that, then vollyball, or gym, this doesnt really differ much from any other day...

came across this; A Visit to Bronx Firehouse's FDNY JT

Firescene publications ran a VHS on several houses in the city, covering all 5 boroughs, the video on this forum of E58 Fire Factory is on that video. Also on there is footage of them riding with the Animal House, E75 and TL33, does anyone have that footage or artical at all?? Thanks JT

I am aware that Bronx TL33 ran a mack 75 footer, as well as a Mack 95 footer, does anyone have the dates/time period that they ran both these rigs, when was the 95ft replaced by the 75ft or the other way round whichever may be the case. Thankyou in advance.. JT

I have read on this forum, and on another, that the new MII TL's failed the hill climb test, this has not been quashed or confirmed by any of our faithfull 'People In The Know' as of yet, anyone have any info either way ?? JT

TL21 had an accident the other day, was wandering if it was their old seagrave they put a dent in or the new one? JT

thanks guys, they seem to get a lot of runs, but not many fires despite their logo... guess times have changed. So L26 is the busiest truck company in the USA, on utility runs! wow! I did hear that E75 and TL33 were the companies still performing close to how they were in the war years, but no...

Just a quicky from my observations form the bravesy luve radio and runs and workers, why exactly is the fire factorys units so busy considering they dont get that many fires any more? l26 i belive in the recent past has been rated as tghe busiest truck company in the USA, but all they seem top...
