Here's my guess: There's probably a ferry to Randall's at the foot of 125th Street. The truck and the chief take that route. I think Engine 16 is a double company. The manpower from one section hitch a ride uptown on the fireboat. The steamer and hose wagon take an avenue up to 125th Street...

I'll bet his ex-wife has some great stories.

I hope no one accidently swallowed their chewing tobacco.

Those guys in Brentwood are getting off easy. Remember back during the War Years, the natives couldn't tell the difference between a PD and an FD uniform. Then the IAFF had that red bumper sticker that had "Fireman Fight Fires, Not People". The cops loved it! But even that pales in comparison...

If you have nothing to do for the next several hours: Query Google AI- Why did the Bronx burn?

Three trauma victims saved by cpr. That doesn't make a bit of sense. Other than some rare causes like cold water drowning or commotio cordis, no trauma patients in actual cardiac arrest are going to be saved by cpr. They are deceased. Based on the news report, unless there were drugs involved...

Then again, this is Chicago. Ken Little tells the story- Engine 103 was organized at 624 W. Harrison Street on October 1, 1906. On 9/23/1952 the 2nd Division Marshal Headquarters was moved into 103's quarters. 103 is in the 7th Battalion and 1st Division, so the 2nd Division Marshal has no...
