Early this morning...




Houston's Fifth Ward is just northeast of downtown. Folks who grew up there will proudly state that they're from "the bloody Fifth". George Foreman was from the Fifth Ward.

A good friend told he liked to work his debit days as Chief in District 19. He'd always catch a first due job. Over the years Station 19 has probably had more shooting victims dropped off out in front than most hospitals.

Had a friend years ago who was assigned to Ladder 19. We had many interesting discussions regarding ladder company tactics. Unlike many truck companies in the area (i.e. Houston, Humble, etc.), 19 seemed to be an aggressive truck and prided themselves at that. It was also the only place I heard of the double lined thier bunker coats and in some cases triple hooded themselves.
