Many Many moons ago November 7th 2009 was the date, a "youngin" joined this group
User name BfdYoungin0252 to be exact started posting mostly Manhattan jobs.
He was learning, on the 10-75 instead of posting just 4 Engines he would post probably the closest 5 engines & 6 trucks, because he didn't know much and was trying to help.
There was a User name RDM258 who use to help him along a little bit and always give compliments when he young user got something right.
His last post was back in 2011. He wasn't that old.
Does anyone know what happen to this guy, I always wondered if I would see another post by him

Brad, I do remember him. I believe his name was Robert DeMayo (???) but I?m not sure. He was from the Nashville, Tn area.
He was pretty active posting on the thread called ?My Younger Buff Years? around 2009/2010.
If that?s his name and where he is from, maybe somebody here could help with more info.

Rob DeMeo, he moved after 9/11 to rural Hickman County TN . He worked EMS in Williamson County TN which is the city of Franklin and Brentwood. The high dollar area south of Nashville. I haven't heard anything from him since 2010-2011. He had planned to go up for one of the early get togethers.

Yes Joe, aka "STAjo", those were the Good Ole' Days. As I understand it you worked for that wrecker company during your younger days.
Joe W., "STAjo", is also the author of the book titled: "11/11".
Joe, we are planning on seeing you for the upcoming Get Together taking place in Brooklyn.
Thank you for your contributions here as well.
I'd like to also welcome two of our newest members:
First, we have "PFDMarine", aka Pat, who told us his story in "How It All Began" (reply # 12).
We learned that he began his interest in the fire dept like so many others who lived close to a neighborhood firehouse. In this case it was Philadelphia's Engine 36/Ladder 20.
He then served Our Country with the U.S. Marines and became a Philadelphia Firefighter. THANK YOU Pat for your Military Service and the Job you do as a Philadelphia Firefighter.
I'm sure there will be guys on here that might be interested in learning more about the department and maybe you can help them out.
A good friend here, Mike D., aka "mikeindabronx", frequently contributes the jobs that Philly has in our National section. But maybe you can add to it.
On a personnel note, I sometimes get down to Philly and driving that Roosevelt Blvd has got to be one of the most dangerous roads in our country. I've seen the members of the Philadelphia FD operating there many times at some serious accidents.
Another newer member who has been contributing to this site listing the many jobs in the Newark and Jersey City area's is "skylerfire", aka skyler. Another busy area just across the Hudson River from Manhattan.
In between my buffing days of the FDNY, I would sometimes chase the rigs there and also took apparatus photos. I remember stopping at one Newark firehouse where a new ladder truck was. The new ladder was in quarters but when I rang the doorbell nobody answered. Just as I am ready to leave wondering, "what if I was reporting a fire and nobody came", the Engine Co is coming back from a run.
Then the guys told me that nobody was in that firehouse. It was the first time that I had ever heard the term "Brownout" used in reference to closing a company for a day. There were guys cars parked in the lot next to the firehouse, giving the public the appearance that the firehouse was fully manned but it wasn't.
THANK YOU "skylerfire" for your contributions.

GG, thanks for the update, glad you are OK

Don't worry Grump, or as my buddy "mack" says; "Grumpier". In a little while you'll change your name to "Happy Grizzly" once this whole deal is done with.
But maybe there is a lot of truth to what "mack" says. I got to get a tooth pulled out one of these days and I'm NOT too happy about that either.
So I'm thinking about maybe changing my user name too.
Maybe I'll change it to "Grumpy Willy" or as "mack" suggest, maybe even "Grumpier Willy".
