Pearse was a terrific man and a tough firefighter. So sorry to hear about his passing, condolences to his family.

The satellite started responding into that area after a large mansion burned in Fieldston section on Indian Road. The mains were 6” and when dug up with silt they were maybe 2” or so. The entire area around Fieldston had the water mains replaced and upgraded to at least 12”. They never changed...

Rest In Peace 🙏🙏🙏

Swapping out the last in service Wooden Ladder early 1970’s into the Mack metal aerial.

Sorry I didn’t put the years and manufacturer just posted pictures, Engine 52 received one of the 1980American LaFrance pumpers as a new piece, the first new rig for them in a very long time. Since that time they have only received new pieces as department policy changed and hand me downs were...

Here are a few pictures of the 52’s I have

First batch of KME Engines came in June 2014 to companies depending on when companies received them they could be kp14001 and up and units after July 2014 they were kp15001 and so on. So they are approaching 11 years in service

Have heard that L52 has been relocated a few times recently, guess they have changed the no relocation policy for them.

It’s part of UFOA contract that first line piece must be replaced by 10 years 364 days. If not then the non relocate and other restrictions apply. This prevents the FDNY from giving the busy companies new apparatus and reassigning older apparatus to slower companies as was done in the past...

For the new member here, 52/52 do not get relocated due to them being in a remote area, they do respond to fires on multiple alarms when directed by dispatcher. When they do respond to,fires they also must be filled with a relocator. Todays dispatch protocols use incoming units relocating into...
