    Firehouse For Sale

    Imagine telling an old timer from 40 Truck - they are selling the firehouse for $11 million dollars. They would probably tell you they wouldn't take it off the city's hands for a million! Amazing how things change - and this can be applied citywide, I'm sure.

    3/9/2021 Bronx 3rd Alarm Box 2527

    I agree. And this is just how life goes on, old dispatchers would've never done that. Someone unfamiliar may look at map/GOOGLE MAPS and think it's close but it is 3 blocks south, then walk west, then walk 3-4 blocks up north to fire building uphill. Not good at all. The dispatchers used to...

    December 7, 1941 PEARL HARBOR...NEVER FORGET !

    I read the NY Post today - not a single mention of the 2,403 heroic servicemen and women who sacrificed their lives on that Day of Infamy. It's only matter of time before 9/11/01 is totally "forgotten", and erased from the newspapers of future September 11th's. Fly your flag today and let the...
