Just curious as to where that thread went? Had alot of great pics and pics of old YFD rigs.........

When I was a cop in the 4-8, I worked 4x12's...............One very busy friday night tour, my partner and I blew the engine on our RMP.....Went back to the house, got a spare that the 4-8 had...........within 45 minutes, we broke one of the leafsprings responding to an 85 forthwith.............Went back to the house again, and got our 3rd car of the tour (which was also a spare), and If I remember correctly, we broke that one also by the end of the tour......................
Desk Sgt. wasn't too happy with us..............

Probably sold the boots for a couple decks of Horse.............Typical Skell.......give him a dollar and he asks for 5........

And to M Ave.............I also had Tommy Grimshaw as an instructor in Probie school............What a gentleman............and I believe that he did retire a few years ago.

We all know what this job is about. This is one place that tradition comes into play in a meaningful way, and I don't care to hear from the naysayers and that "200 years of tradition uninterrupted by progress. I'm not talking about tactics and strategy, fog vs. straight, PPA. Those things are not tradition. A firefighter''s helmet is a symbol of who he is or who he was. Whatever style of helmet he wore is not the operative here. The symbolism here is that it is HIS helmet. Wearing this helmet he has accomplished things that the average person could not ever fathom. He has seen life and he has seen death. He calls anyone who wears similar headgear his brother because he knows where that person has been. If a firefighter meets his death on the job, it is his helmet that leads him to his funeral service.
I just got this picture of my newborn grandson. I rest my case.

That's the problem right there................6 companies in 8 years..............OBVIOUSLY he has a very hard time getting along with others.............This is a NON-STORY!!!!!!

I'm a non-seafood eater............but if the men know i'm working, they will always buy me a chicken cutlet. And in the meantime, i'm still helping prepare the fish meal...........it's never been a problem..........and i'm not the only one who doesn't eat fish in the firehouse.
The men are ALWAYS accomodating!!!!!

...ya know, bread and fry a sponge with the rest of the chicken parm!
On a serious note: we regularly TRY to accommodate everyone, and for less serious issues than being vegetarian. If a few fish haters are working we don't get fish.....
.....6 companies in 8 years is a sure sign of a problem child.

Most of us on the job recognize the "6 companies in 8 years" as a big red flag. I fear that a judge will interpret this differently and say it is a widespread prejudice against vegetarians, with FDNY ignoring the problem.
A guy who transferred that much should be scrutinized in his bid for Lt. Something is wrong.

Another way for the "FDNY Foundation" to make money.....................That is after they get all the Brothers hard earned cash for used helmets that were going to be destroyed otherwise...................
