That hallway windowframe was no match for ND from L-49.

3rd. Freddy on the radio.

A bit of a wacky article about us radio nerds, but thanks for posting, Chief.

Aren't we all buffs at heart?

You know, I thought you were nuts - but I saw it with my own eyes. Armonk's engine looked like it was ready to take a dip by the dock near Bar Taco to supply Millwood's engine. I was actually sad to see that old building go.

Agreed with all of your points. In 2021, there was a 2nd alarm in the Bronx building that I grew up in (and my parents still live in). Size up had it as a six-story, with fire on the fifth floor. When you enter the building, the floors and apartments are all labeled from 1 to 5. The fire was in...

I used to kid him about his style, but he is a terrific FAD. Some might not agree, but I think there is something...

Interesting, the fire apartment, 7D, appears to be a one-room apartment as built.

Correct, correct, and correct.
