Yes 38 had one of the 110 footers and it was a pain in da rear quarters to get it in outa quarters. The front end of the aerial was high enough that when backing in or pulling out to the left the aerial would go over the fence on top of the wall across the street from quarters by the nursing...

I don't want to make some of my friends, still in da Bronx, mad so I will keep it to myself but there are a few areas in da Bronx that still have some narrow blocks and are hard to navigate. Also, the work has moved north so it would behoove the job to put a couple of tillers in da Bronx to...

The way it was done in the past yes the initial new tiller may cost more then a rear mount but there are a few factors to keep in mind. In the past when they came time for replacement only the tractor part was replaced. If the aerial part is good just refurb and attach a new tractor. From...

My 25 cents, inflation made 2 cents obsolete, is that da Bronx could use 2 or 3 new tillers.

It is a well kept secret.

I think you meant E50 not E59 as third due

L38 and L 138 on the same Bronx box, who woulda thought

WOW Brooklyn with NO multiples for the month of July???????? How many years since that happened?

Not to get into a big drawn out discussion but I did work in this firehouse and it is basically a borderline box as you point out with distance but more times than not 48/56 get in first. Navigating those narrow streets can be very difficult, especially on shopping days and especially on...

I believe your run down is correct but 48/56 have a MUCH easier response then 88/38. They go left out of quarters right on Fordham and right on Hughes, all wide open streets. 88/38 have narrower streets to slow them down.

On the front bumper to the left of the gated y outlet what is the handle for?

Was there other activity going on at time of call. I can see 88/38 46/27 and possibly 42 and 79/37 befo 75/33

Interesting note, those two buildings were built at separate times. First the Engine side was built and very soon after the Truck side was built. For the longest time there were only two doors connecting the houses, one in the back of the apparatus floor and one on the third floor front of the...

Simple rules -If its dirty clean it -If it does belong there, put it where it belongs Great house and great guys to work with.

I suggest giving it to E 70 in City Island. With their run count it'll sure be charged and with their response district they can probably keep it plugged in with extension cords when out on a call. LOL

I think it cool that they are still hanging sneakers on da power lines

If she does maybe she’ll learn so things

It looks like a plastic alarm box we had in our house, it was a plastic box with a house phone inside

E96 picture is the old FH before a new one was built at Story and Croes for 96/54

If I remember this job correctly, the entrance to this building was on Daly Ave, right next to 45 quarters, with a shaft by the bunk room window. When this job came in 45 and 58 where out of quarters on a different run. The fire got into the shaft and cracked the windows of the bunk room...
