    Here are some photos of the Fairchester Hose Haulers Muster from June 28th, 1980 at the Kensico Dam in Valhalla. I do not know who the photographer is/was as these slides were won on ebay a few years ago and unfortunately have no markings on them. Big thanks to Tim [TR54] for scanning the slides for me. Wish I had more to post. Enjoy !

    Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta Announces Death of Probationary Firefighter Jamel M. Sears

    Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta announced that Probationary Firefighter Jamel M. Sears died at Mt. Sinai Medical Center today, where he was taken yesterday after falling unconscious following completion of a training exercise at the Department’s training academy on Randall’s Island.

    Probationary Firefighter Sears, 33, was appointed to the FDNY on July 1, 2008, and was enrolled in the 23-week Probationary Firefighters Training Program. He fell unconscious at about 11:30 a.m. after successfully completing an 18-minute training exercise where he donned full firefighting gear and performed a series of tasks and functional skills. Firefighters on scene tried to revive him but he never regained consciousness.

    Probationary Firefighter Sears, a lifelong Bronx resident, was a four-year U.S. Navy veteran (1995-1999) and served aboard the USS Alaska. He also worked at TD Waterhouse as a customer rep and at Keyspan Energy as an operating mechanic prior to joining the FDNY. He graduated from All Hallows High School and attended Bronx Community College before enlisting in the Navy.

    He is survived by his wife, Sherita, a New York City Police Officer assigned to the 41st Precinct in the Bronx, and their two children, son Mahlek, 12, and daughter Jya, 8.

    Funeral arrangements are pending.

    I must have missed this post on the website because of the lack of posts on it, but the City of Mount Vernon should be ashamed of themselves for selling these incredible pieces of firefighting history. Are they that hard up for $ ? Why not donate the collection to a Historical Society or the FASNY Museum ? I am a huge fire department memorabilia collector and bid on at least 30-40 items/lots that a company called The Weiderman Gallery based out of Herkimer, NY resold on ebay. I was fortunate enough to win a few badges and this beautiful FASNY Certificate from 1905. Anyone else from the area save some of this collection from going out of NY State ?

    great pics, but I would love to see some shots from inside... the pump room, pump panel, some of the piping ( I can imagine how they must have to lay it out ), the engine room...

    A few years ago on the NJ Metro Fire Photographers Association's Annual FDNY Bus Trip we were fortunate enough to go aboard Marine-9 and take lots of photos. If I can find them, I will post them !
