    3/4/24 Bronx 2nd Alarm Box 3400

    Traditional assignment was 90 88 48 62 97 41 38 56F 32 Used to be the last box "out behind the park" for E48. I believe BARB messed it all up. No 88 at all today?

    3/1/24 Bronx 2nd Alarm Box 3358

    G-man Rule. Hate to see these classic old homes burn down. Bronx legacy being lost, one by one. But 17 rooms? Bring in more illegals...

    Years ago, this was a two and two box... 81 75. 46 33 BN 19 No 3d due companies if the travel distance was > 1.5 miles. That was pretty much all of the Bronx north/ west of Mosholu Pkwy/ Bailey Ave or n/e of Pelham Pkwy/Bronx Park East.

    2/1/24 Bronx 10-75 Box 3396

    Bronx Box 3396, Webster Ave at East 197th St. The physical red alarm box stood right on the NW corner of 197th, right outside the entrance to O’Briens Tavern. Jack O’Brien, the owner, was from the “old country” and the nicest man you could meet, exceeded only by his wife Mary, also “off the...

    Is the blocker a device or an operational technique? And how exactly is it "deployed"?

    G-man Rule. For those of you not familiar with what the G-man Rule is... Tom Eve, the "G-man", long time member of and contributor to this site (and accomplished jazz musician) years ago noted the following: When a unit is OOS for some administrative reason there often occurs a good job in...

    Detroit/Highland Park Dustup

    So I guess one is to conclude that these communities out in Michigan have no idea how to cooperate with each other. An inability to govern those who elected or appointed them. Or maybe... E63/L39 arrive at a report of fire on a street right on the NYC line, a valid FDNY box#. But the involved...
