Continued Rest in Peace, Captain John Dunne Ladder 175.

On another site, it was reported Danny DeJesus of E-280 passed away. He was appointed 1/11/69, retired 8/1/76 and passed on 6/22/25. He was a quiet man in a house full of characters and will be missed. Rest in Peace, Danny.

Belated Happy Birthday. Hope you had a good day

As I remember it, the WTC was at least three 5th alarms with some 3rd's and 2nd's all transmitted for different sites within the WTC complex. All told, I believe that in total, it was the equivalent of 23 alarms.

That explains L-43 and E-53 first due. Where was E-91

Dave, Thank you for your generous offer Jim (aka 1261)

The chief in charge special called the Hi-Ex Foam Unit, had it set up and pumped the cellar full of Hi-Ex foam. Good results and good field test for a relatively new product (at...

Isn't Ferrara part of the REV group?

They were around the corner and being waved in? (LOL)

Thank you, Sir!

According to the 2026 Brooklyn borough map, there was a job at Box 1245 at 92 Prospect Place. Does anyone have a rundown/particulars? Thanks.
