Island Park FD is only 4 min. away. Long Beach may have actually been closer and could have arrived first if they would have received the initial call. Hard to believe the photos of that home - gives new meaning to "fully involved!" Have to wonder how long it was burning before the initial...

I thought when Banks and Maddrey were cut loose, Daughtry went with them. Then, he gets a promotion? I hope whoever the next mayor is, he keeps Turner on board. This guy actually loves this job as much as his, and if he could have, he probably would have taken the test way back when.....a...

I think that may have been an old 3 story 200x100 Dutch mansion that the police chief bought when Flushing officially became part of Queens, and became the first police Pct. in Flushing. That closed up about 60 years ago when they built the new Pct. on Union St.

Seems a little strange that in the middle of the day, nobody thought to run downstairs and bang on the apparatus doors like in the old days.

That's a heck of a lot of fire showing. News media showed a large ball of fire mushrooming through the roof, probably at the collapse time. Unsealed windows were probably also contributory to fire spread to the exposures. how did this get so far out of hand

I have a neighbor that was interested in filing; but neither he nor I could find anything in the N.O.E. regarding minimum/maximum age to file, or for retirement. Is it there somewhere and we both missed it?

When are they going to educate the people responsible for giving radio reports. This is a block of 2 1/2 story balloon frame pvt dwellings. They are separated by 10 ft driveways, which means the exposures are SIMILAR, detached and not "alleys"

How many children and adults have we lost in the last 25 years, being trapped in an attic bedroom with no way out? I like the idea of a mandatory 2nd mans of egress from an attic living space; (like the fire escape in the photos) but that would be a dog fight getting through the legislature...

I have to wonder what was the more irresponsible act here. The vehicle owner who willfully parked at the hydrant, or the non-thinking traffic agency that booted the vehicle at the hydrant, making it more difficult and time consuming to remove the car in an emergency such as this. If she was...

Seeing an increasing number of hydrant parkers in the Greater Flushing area, with the many asians moving into the area, The problem is also blocking the hydrant from view to companies unfamiliar with the area (relocators etc.) who could drive right past a serviceable hydrant because it remains...

It probably won't be verified until the helo is raised from the river; but could the crew have been wearing night vision appliances, and if so, are they monochromatic? Could this cause any confusion by aircraft lights blending with street lights etc. through those goggles, making the...

AA Commercial flight was below 400 ft. and clearly had the right-of-way in final approach airspace; could not see the Blackhawk approaching from behind.. Blackhawk approached from behind, could have/should have had AA plane clearly in sight, since coming from behind. Where was the Air Traffic...

I'm sure that we all have watched videos of fires started or involving Li-Ion batteries. Those injured including the FD member were indeed lucky they didn't wind up in a burn center. Luckily, just 4 short blocks north, there was a Level 1 trauma center at New York Presbyterian..

Lt.Don O'Leary and FF Joe Rodriguez worked together to establish the Legion and the accompanying medal. Two great firefighters.

Hatzoloh isn't going to be happy

Change in ownership and food quality?

234 could have stretched frm qtrs. and RS02 could have been 2nd due truck :sneaky:

hard to tell' original transmission was "involved in a collision"

I remember it closed at least 11 years ago due to shrinking Catholic enrollment, and religious demographics in the neighborhood did a radical change.. Haven't been there in a while, but I heard the city was trying to negotiate the building into a public middle school.
