At one time was a working fire, not necessarily needing 3 & 2 at the fire.

Most of us here really don't know what the world situation was back then. Just like in 50 years from now will the people know how we lived thru the worst Administration ever. Inflation thru the roof, the supply chain drought, and along with the President & VP the worst Cabinet ever with the...

As someone who was exposed to mostly RM's in my career there was a time when the older RM's had trouble taking out windows in the many vacant buildings we encountered. The newer Rigs around the mid 70's started to have more power going to the aerial to vent windows. A lot of times we were...

It seems like we're always caught sleeping. Dec. 7th and Sept. 11th. The worst part of 9/11 was we taught those mutts how to fly. Talk about stupidity!

The big advantage with the older RM was 1 tormentor on the building side and aerial was able to be extended to the roof or wherever needed unless Life was a priority. TL had to have all tormentors extended to raise bucket. We all know speed is necessary for life saving operations. When I left...

A Happy Thanksgiving to all and especially the Brothers and Sisters working today, because Turkey frying is dangerous.

222 would be 2nd due. 227 is further away, and then especially trying to cross Atlantic Ave.

Chief you're right about 211. My Dad was assigned to 211 and I have that photo with all the members at that time, 1962. Paul Carosotto is in that pic with my Dad and eventually I got to work with Paul, Lt. in 233, when we both went to the new House with them.

Originally 285 was 3rd due in the rundown and then corrected with 308.

Was 308 busy somewhere else? Should be in that mix before 303.

As a FDNY Marshal you had Police Power because you were arresting Felons for Arson. We also carried a gun. The other thing was such a big deal was made about the spelling of Marshal or Marshall. To me I didn't care one way or the other. But when I received my badge it was Marshal and the second...

I knew they had their own firefighting crew, because we would touch base with them after the fire was extinguished.

As a FDNY Marshal we were called to Rikers Island to determine the origin and cause of a fire in a perps cell. They were not permitted any contraband so they would come up with unique ways to start a fire. These were the convicts that were locked up for 23 hours a day, all felons. As I was...

I don't know what you're saying, of course FDNY has Fire Marshals. I spent 7 years there in the Fire Marshals office.

Now we know Biden-Harris cleaned out FEMA's funds for illegal immigrants and now have nothing for the Helene victims, tax paying people get little, while freeloaders get it all. Nice going Mr. President and his side kick.

Look at Lebby's 2nd set of photos, pic # 11, 26, 33, 37, 39 & 43 and you'll see what I mean. Of course I don't mean the paper officers co. #.

What is with all the front pieces bent up? Do they come from the Quartermaster that way or is there a technique to make it that way. Some guys used to throw the helmet in the oven to get a seasoned look. The best way during the war years to piss somebody off was to scrub their helmet clean. I...

I forgot to mention the 25 MPH, and the speed cameras that nail you. So everything the City has done has created the problem.

And how about the speed bumps that you almost have to come to a complete stop to go over.
