I was still in bed after a late night out from playing hockey when my wife called. Turned on the TV to the Today show and minutes later the 2nd plane hit. Before I knew it my wife was coming home and I was heading in to work where she would not let me leave until she was home safe. I spent the next 24-48 hours working on a recall because some of our units were covierng in the Bronx. I really do not remember leaving the firehouse much if at all

Great shots.

Looks like you were the only one there

Where do you see yonkers????

Did the yfd get there's yet???

If i am not mistaken property taxes are reduced for volunteers in some communities. Anyway if something you like costs money ie. owning a boat and you just can't afford it what do most people do???? They stop boating. Stop volunteering....

I saw that before in Meet the Parents....

I remember being in Savanah for the parade when the CNN news crawler told of a large fire in Yonkers. Most of us could not believe it until we got a call for recall and 15 of us had to turn it down.

Just a reminder about tonight

I couldn't agree more nuf said...

Watch out it could be an IRS thing

Look and sounds like this will be great fun.

I wonder if on a highway, troopers can shut down the lights facing the front. This way when they walk back they will not be blinded.

It's funny to think that this show is that old. I would love to know how many people are still on the job from the pilot show????

you may want to check the New York State Mutual Aid plan. I just can't find my copy right now.

I received a PM that there was an update to Seth's Thread. The entire thread seems to have been removed with no trace of its existence. what gives....

Looks impressive does anyone know the total cost of the structure????

It would be a toss up between Once upon a time in America or Deer Hunter.

Maybe I am confused but....... I don't understand why the call for donations for a for profit site. Rather than a non for profit "educational" site if that is/was possible.

The Giants of course,as long as Shockey stays away, it has been noticed how well eli is playing since shockey got hurt,must be a big difference without him in eli's face after every down crying for the ball.

I didn't realize you need fire course pre reques for rope rescue courses. I would double check since ther is basic intermediate and advance courses. Maybe they are limited to fire dept personnel only.......

The cartoons we had were classic and worth the wait. Tom and Jerry beat the crap out of each other. The drunk stork in Bugs Bunny was drunk. Everyone smoked. You don;t see that today.

Bnechris makes a good point. Lately job postings for DES are send your resume, not the normal job posting with exam......
