Dave, Here you go Click on "Watch on You Tube" and it will play. Thanks, Jim

There is a picture/slide presentation on You Tube for FDNY Rescue 1 ("America's First") with a very good sound track. It starts (and ends) with the theme from Jurassic Park and has Van Morrison and Bruce Springsteen songs. Does anyone know the titles and artists of all the songs used on this...

Happy Birthday, Mike. Hope you had a great day and best wishes for many more. Thank you for all the images you have shared with us over the years.

Happy Birthday, Rev Elwood. Best wishes for many more.

I think the FDNY realized early on (probably after TL 1 and TL 14 showed their capabilities) just how valuable tower ladders were. The original plan was one tower per division, but after they "proved themselves" that changed to almost one per battalion and in some cases two per battalion...

Old school !

Happy Birthday, Ken. Hope you had a really great day and best wishes for many more.
