Thanks, Henry. 251 on the X radio.

Nice stop by 92/44, and WOW what a "stop" by 27 truck. Chauffeur dumped the parking brake perfectly. Fire blowing out the kitchen window?

97 Engine, and both 39 and 41 Trucks all spares in that video.

Ah, Marble Hill. The part of Manhattan that's on the mainland. It had a 212 area code after we switched to 718. Also, at 1:46 in that video, ugh - I don't like that parapet. The beams were already burning.

A couple of things - 1) Isn't there supposed to be a vertical steel column in that corner? I thought there were steel columns at the corners and a steel beam that goes across the first floor. 2) I don't like these cracks.

Listening to it now. I spent my day at 106 N. Broadway across the street.

I was sans radio, but while leaving my folks place, saw 58 Truck hang a left into BJs from 238th. Acting 46?

Eh, sort of. Both are really semi-duplex, meaning both rely on repeaters and only one side (the dispatcher) can transmit and receive at the same time. Simplex means both sides can only transmit or receive at one time. The difference between NYPD and FDNY is PD's "mixer" is on all the time...

Those callsigns/license numbers changed since the switch to UHF. WQFH239 is the Bronx now (not be a radio nerd about it) .

I had chills when I heard those four words, said to me, from a FDNY boss - "You're out of line". Please close this thread.
