FDNY ENGINE 277 & LADDER 112
Ron Carritue has spent virtually every part of his life in Bushwick, and through it all he has kept smiling. The Bushwick he grew up in during the 1950s was a world apart from the one he fought to save from the flames during the firestorm years of the 70s. But through it all, he kept fighting and laughing off the flames. He rose through the ranks to be captain of one of NYC's busiest fire units, Ladder 112, the "House of Pain." In 2008, The city honored the dedication of the company by addressing the decrepit state of their house. They built Engine 277 and Ladder 112 new facilities. At the time of this filming, in April of 2007, both companies were sharing splitting a firehouse on Gates and Ralph Aves.
