Happy Birthday Irish! Enjoy your special day!
Johnny D, that's NOT hard to believe at all. Everybody knows that you are one very old man. A HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to you my long time Ole' Buddy.
How long has it been ? I think we go back to the days when I was a hard hitting, tough 185 lbs. Way back about 45-50 years ago. Maybe 1973 or so. What a GREAT time it was though - right Johnny. If only Nycfire.net was around then.

Many thanks Chief and all for the birthday wishes. Sadly covid has limited the birthday celebrations this year which suits me fine anyway. Who wants to celebrate getting older anyway lol
Of course yes I share it with one of the worst days I've known and many here have known.
NYC, my friends on this site (many who I've had the pleasure to meet and listen to) and the Dept will never be far from my thoughts on this day.
I'll Never Forget.
Wishing all who Mark this day in whatever way I hope you and yours stay safe

Sorry I missed it. Happy, Happy Birthday and many more for you!
Today, Monday September 14th is a very special day to three well known and well respected members of this site.
We begin with this site administrator, Retired FDNY Captain John Bendick and his son, FDNY Lt Tommy Bendick, the owner of this site.
It was September 14, 1968 that then, Probationary Firefighter John Bendick began his career with the FDNY.
Then "exactly" 35 years later, on September 14, 2003 John's son, Probationary Firefighter Tommy Bendick began his career with the FDNY and then assigned to Engine Co 65.
Another interesting note is that Probie FF Tommy Bendicks "first overtime shift" was on December 14, 2003 where he was assigned to work with his father, Capt Bendick of Engine Co 23.
BUT wait.....we have MORE News of Members regarding September 14th.
On that September 14th, 1968, then Probationary Firefighter Jack Kleehaas, aka "68jk09" also began his career with the FDNY attending the same Probie Class with John Bendick.
Jack Kleehaas, later retiring as a Battalion Chief of the FDNY.
All THREE - highly respected as firefighters, as well as officers within the FDNY.
Gentlemen, Happy Anniversary and "A Job Well Done" - According To All Those Who Have Worked With You.
