"Signal73", I forgot Matt's wife on the job at 73/42 A family of FIVE FIREFIGHTERS - WOW. I wonder what they discuss when they are all together. I somewhat relate as my father and brother were both on the job in Bridgeport and I was at a place called Norwich in Ct.

Also, congratulations to another member of this site. That being "O'Mally" who has also begun his career as a FDNY Probationary Firefighter.

Yes, great job done by FF Matt Walsh If I remember correctly, his father Paul Walsh retired New Britian FD. Also known for his GREAT FIRE DEPARTMENT PAINTINGS. His grandfather, John Walsh retired Hartford Fire Captain, then Willimantic, Ct Chief of Department. His uncle, Jay Walsh retired FDNY.

Congratulations on a job well done. "XPFD3" your son making TWO GRABS in 2024. I'm sure your son learned a lot about the job from your guidance. So, give yourself a "pat on the back" too.
