An excellent read on the US navy 4 billion dollar ship fire loss. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/how-a-four-billion-dollar-warship-was-lost-at-its-own-pier/ar-AA1QOSRc

In the 70’s Tolentine was a basketball powerhouse as well. Mt. St Michael had a great football team

Actually when you sit down and look at it, it is not overkill. Many, many career departments around the country send a chief whenever a rig is dispatched mutual aid. If the FDNY TL is being requested, it is most likely being requested for master stream operations. So there are a number of...

Don't know about the FDNY contract award......NYPD ESU has chosen Pierce to build ten units (big trucks)

Just some random thoughts. If you remove EMS from FDNY but really don’t change the number of EMS personnel on the streets and number of staffed units on the street, the new third party EMS will still look to FDNY to carry part of the load as they do now and perhaps look for them to do more (the...
