That's it Johnny D :)

Yes John you are correct. It was E 248. I might also point out that "69METS" also rode with Eng 234, as I mentioned in reply # 1834 regarding Retired FDNY member Tom F., aka "mufti" Tom, aka "Mufti", told me at one point "69METS" also rode there when he was just a young kid. Probably before...

Although he hasn't been around on this site for awhile, member "Bxboro", aka Scott L., is doing well. He does now work a full time job after his retirement from the fire department in Groton, Ct. Interesting that when he retired, his younger brother Mike, got hired to replace him. Mike spent...

I remember that day too, Tom. I agree with you as well, "They Did NOT Die In Vain". Changes came about not only for the FDNY, but for many other cities across the country too.

Thank you very much Ray, aka "raybrag". As you see in the photo on June 14th (Flag Day), Four Generations of Firefighters celebrated a very Highly Respected Retired Firefighter and Captain 100th Birthday, named Ray Brosofske, who was also a World War II Veteran. (Capt Ray is the fourth guy...

Many places today consider a working fire to be much different from a job back 10, 20, or 30 years ago. If car fires or huge rubbish fires were considered "Working Fires" during the FDNY War Years, the numbers would have been staggering, added to the already staggering numbers for building...

Thank you Chief this on to us. I'm going to pass this around too. I'll be sending out order shortly. My Favorite: "Some of us grew up playing with firetrucks - the lucky one's still do". Myself and a couple of my buddies used to tell friends and family members that all the time.

I can remember my father working a 72 hour week in Bridgeport, Ct in the 1950s and there was NO OVERTIME Pay If he was off duty and a major job came in, he was called in at NO PAY. Just part of his duties within the job. That usually happened about 3 or 4 times a year. He also had to live...

Thank you very much Keith, "EMSR1" and Brad "Signal73". When it comes to The Nutmeg State, aka Connecticut, you two guys got us covered. In fact, sometimes I get more news here of the jobs thanks to you, than I do on the TV or in the newspaper. And for those who don't know, Meriden, Ct is...
