Originally the Dept. of Highways building where they would process and load their trucks with either cold patch for filling potholes or process and load asphalt for repaving the streets in Queens. I had an uncle that worked out of that building for 28 years. Stunk like a skunk when he came home.

If it was requested even in a mixer off, the CO would have rebroadcasted it.

My daughter works just north of if this in Freeport High School. Someone came into her office and told her that nobody was home, but they believed the house was owned by a member of the FDNY, not sure whether active or retired. Can anyone verify?

This is what the Renault/Mack monster looked like, very similar to the Scania cabovers widely used in Europe.

That's what I thought; the merger was 27 years ago. Just wondering how he was able to live in Bergen County? I thought you had a year to move back into NY once you were appointed to FIRE? When I was in the Bronx, we had a proby that lived just off the southern tip of Westchester Co...

Has the Dept. waived the requirement to live in the 9 counties for EMS Medical Branch personnel who live out of state that are promoted into Supression?

Smart Woman - walked out with her dignity. She can get a job anywhere she wants after this 18 month debacle. Even the PBA had nothing but good words for her, which is a rare event. I guess she was tired of being Adam's political figurehead while he and Banks actually ran the NYPD, and most...

This is a photo from yesterday afternoon in Flushing Meadows, Queens NY taken by a maintenance crew around 4 p.m. at Citifield, home of the NY Mets.

As per Qns C.O., 2nd alarm transmitted

18 Wheeler took out a telephone pole and high tension wires on Mill Road adjacent to the Freeport Recreation Center. All traffic is being diverted north in both directions to Merrick Rd. All adj. roads are gridlocked.

I sent a recommendation downtown about 20 years ago, that any time a vehicle is parked blocking a hydrant, and there's serious injuries or fatalities that were negatively impacted by that car, the owner should be arrested for a felony for contributing to those deaths/injuries. You know how far...

The other unanswered question would be - not yet under control, and the PWH was just transmitted - why special call EIGHT trucks and FIVE engines, and not transmit the next higher alarm? wouldn't that be the proper SOP protocol? Is the correlation of engines to transmission of the next alarm...

Quite a few years back, I remember T/L54 (Lt. Don O'leary) transmitted a 2-2 for a ripping PD on Gleason Ave. from about 4 blocks away. The BC I was driving later gave the officer a pat on the back and said "Great Move, Lou."

I would presume that if E94 was the 3rd due engine, L48 would be the logical FAST truck, unless they were in Manhattan?

Can't see the rationale of using specialty units (2 squads and a rescue company) for a brush fire.?!!

I'm just thankful that his last tour was uneventful. I could only imagine what would have happened if there was something catastrophic like a major apparatus accident, hazmat incident or even a backdraft - that could have possibly wiped out an entire family in one shot. They were lucky....the...
