"Signal73", I forgot Matt's wife on the job at 73/42

A family of FIVE FIREFIGHTERS - WOW.
I wonder what they discuss when they are all together.

I somewhat relate as my father and brother were both on the job in Bridgeport and I was at a place called Norwich in Ct.

I'm really aging myself but I worked under his Great Grandfather Chief William Walsh of the Blue Hills(Bloomfield) CT fire dept in the 1960's

I remember John Walsh talking about his father (William Walsh) being on the Blue Hills Fire Department.

"Chicken Wing Man", in the 1960s (and 50's) I used to go with my father to pick up his paycheck at the firehouse in Bridgeport, Ct.
Somewhere on this site I think there is a picture of me sitting on the 1939 Mack pumper when I was about 5 years old.
