Thats a new one for me, Ive never seen 4 guys lift a car with a ladder before!

Wow what a mess. Hopefully the MFD members stay safe, sure sounds like a suspicious situation all around between the rapid spread and the shooting victim. Per the livestream they are now using foam as well and I overheard they are drafting from the Miami River I live across the street from a...

Very impressive stuff, I spent way too much of my workday looking thru all the units and comparing notes and I think you're pretty spot on especially considering how different the streetscape is down there these days versus 2001. The only 3 I didn't see were L118 and E26 that were parked side by...

That is fantastic work. Ive been working on something similar as a on/off project for a while now. Great to see

Awful to hear, glad they caught the perp though. I hope they throw the book at them

With Fleet Week underway in midtown Manhattan and in Staten Island, are there any FDNY units special detailed to these locations for additional coverage or is it more or less business as usual?

Yeah the stories Ive heard about driving through Lackawanna next to the Bethlehem mill when it was up and running are pretty ugly.

Dont knock it till ya try it, and besides Im told it smells way better here now that all the steel mills are closed!

These days? Sunny Buffalo on NY's west coast. Prior to 2010, born and raised in Southern Westchester to a Theriot Ave Father and a fine lady from Bayside. Lived in Manhattan 6 years on W106th and spent 2 years working in Port Elizabeth as a 24/7 port agent for several shipping lines.

So I suppose the question has to be asked, there are tiller "heavy rescues" on the market and obviously FDNY has not sought them out but does anyone think there a chance of those making entry into the fleet in the future? The current rigs are just about as big as I would think they could be and...

I would have figured thats just the generic Bridgeport smell, but I would have been wrong I guess. Sorta like the Jersey Smell over by the Pulaski when you cross over from Kearny into Newark

So with the new reality of city streets, particularly those in Manhattan and Brooklyn cores being increasingly subdivided and blocked out for bus/bike lanes, it would seem Tillers are prime for a resurgence no? It already sounds hard enough for the units with 95ft towers to leave quarters, let...

I doubt it too, and the Fire Museum is not "affiliated" with FDNY as its a standalone operation and a 501c3, so FDNY has little official say in what happens to their operation.

I can see this working oh so well. Hopefully it dies in committee before even seeing the light of day. This is a country of law and order and deputizing random citizens, no matter how "well trained" is going to lead to very ugly results.

Ah NYC development, profit at any price. I hope the museum and the city go after the developer and their contractors for operating in a way that is causing adjacent buildings to be at risk of collapse

The 6th and final missing victim was recovered last week, also in their vehicle in the wreckage. https://www.keybridgeresponse2024.com/post/update-20-authorities-identify-sixth-victim-recovered-in-the-collapse-of-the-francis-scott-key-brid The large portion of the bridge draped over the bow of...

Towards the end of their run Code3 was turning out some very detailed models for their size. My brother had quite a collection at one time, he's been selling them off recently. I still have the Super Pumper set, they sit alongside my Revell Fire Fighter model. Thats in 1/87 but the scale...

1954-built C-54 Skymaster, military version of the DC-4. Sad to hear both pilots were lost in the crash, takes some real stones to fly 70 year old aircraft loaded to the brim with fuel into and out of remote Alaskan airfields.

A large portion of the remaining structure and scaffolding collapsed today, thankfully no injuries. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68850576
