Yonkers, NY- General Alarm Fire 03-08-23

Bordering companies have the necessary adapters and fittings to use westchester hydrants. Have used a closer hydrant on border of Yonkers and was a drill that I did with the members to always have the possibility in case of bad city hydrant next one could be over border.
 
Joe Higgins was also President of the Fire Bell Club of New York for almost 20 years. He buffed 75/33 all the way back to the War Years.

It was said he influenced where the Animal House responded to jack up their R/Ws numbers, a charge he refuted to me over lunch one day. I believed him.

He began his career as a fire patrolman in Manhattan. An energetic and sincere man who contributed much to his beloved FDNY.

And a good and missed friend.
 
I remember years back FDNY Eng 43 relocating into Yonkers Station 1. FDNY outgoing Mutual Aid needs to approved by the Chief of Dept or the Fire Commissioner unless policy has changed.
