The widow of James Halversen L174 who was shot and killed while jogging around his HS track back in 1997 is asking for help. William Sodders is up for parole. Let us do our best to honor the memory of James Halversen by ensuring that his killer never sees the light of the day and rots in his...

I am wondering if anyone knows where you can find the buffy fire duty video montage that they have been playing for countless years before promotion ceremonies, proby school graduation, etc. It is approximately 5 minutes and is just various buff videos pieced together. I would like to share it...

Just Rubbish but 231 got in first apparently

What is the point of having run assignment cards, if you cannot even get a piece of your extra Engine/Truck boxes? I get it, this job took some investigating before they knew what they had, but as we all know they almost never send relocaters to another house before some type of signal has been...

Internal application, it’s all tied into a proprietary Fdny app called incident command. But I believe the photos are pulled from google maps.

To manlt point: Surveying the building and looking for that road or path less traveled is an art form and very advantageous at certain jobs! It takes time, experience, patience, and is generally very frustrating and in vane. But when successful, it’s noticed. Last point I’ll make is with...

As with most things on this job, the individual neighborhood drives the SOP‘s of the tower ladder operations in question. With the drastic difference in building construction throughout the city, neighborhoods that are mainly private dwellings will have drastically different company policies...

Prayers to the entire Anderson Family. The only thing worse for the family and friends than watching Tom (and the far too many other guys that have gone before him) suffering through the end stages of his disease, is the unfortunate day when it’s time to say that final goodbye. Although...

The unfortunate reality is that the majority of the vehicles that chronically making the member's job more difficult are not actually registered and have "phantom plates" that cannot be traced back to the driver/owner/etc, so the ticket (if its even written) is just thrown on the ground and...

Like everything else in NYC, the priorities are so far out of whack that you might be tricked into thinking that this is some kind joke. Also, keep in mind, sometimes politicians will propose outlandish bills to get their names in to the papers or peoples' conversations, all the while knowing...

I remember several years back, the job instituted a 6 month academy for 1 or 2 classes. Does anyone remember the approximate year that those classes took place?? Thanks.

This one really hurts. That awful day and those godforsaken terrorists continue to strike victories for their terrible cause by cutting short the lives of good, honest, hard working men that were put on this earth solely to help and lead others! Guys like Neil lived for their families and as an...

Very Hot Box for fire as of late, good third alarm at 62 ashford right before the mandate shut down companies at the end of October. This second alarm at 79 Ashford exposure 4 building was a rocking 2-2 at 217 Arlington St (great video & pics) few summers ago. I believe it’s still burnt out.

I was reading the dept orders this morning, maybe I am not comprehending it properly, but it seems that E-228 is no longer a purple K unit. Anyone have any info on this? Did they move 228's second piece somewhere else or just disband it? Guess I am just wondering what is going to happen to the...

I wasn’t saying the raised roof was specifically designed to don gear while inside, all I was stating was that ffs are getting dressed in rigs now that they can stand up in the back. And yes, unfortunately it’s the guys up front turn to deal with the tightness of the rigs. I don’t agree with...

The only reason I say this is because if you look at the seagrave brochure for all the models on the website it it all has straight roof not raised.
