Crap...out of order, but these go along with the Mulberry St job......the smoke kept banking down into the street

State Police chase resulting in a ruptured gas tank........CCP/Central Ave

The chauffer on 71, I took to the ER some time after this fire for a dog bite at another fire. I showed him these pics...he ended up with this one.

Apartment going in Schlobaum.........

One of my favorite pictures I have ever taken...YFD Ladder 71

LOVE them CF's!

This is one of my favorites, but I really wish the sign post was not there...I was pushed out of the way by a photog from the Daily News.....the member pictured here actually tracked me down, I gave him a few copies.

As promised to R1SE, here are a few pics that I took during my tenure with Empress throughout the 90's.... The pic above, and the next bunch are of a multi alarm job on Mulberry Street. There was a rediculous amount of fire here, involving several buildings. YPD was first there and "REALLY think they might need a scond alarm here!" I was Tommy Sal's driver that day.

Members take a blow...... I spy DC Decker, Capt. Johnson (then FF), and some others...ahhh the days of pull up boots!

3 out of 4 of these firemen are no longer around the County.....

Fairview FAST team member talks to CC15. County Chief Davidson in background.

The good Captain Brower in command.....

FF on stairs with red lid is the sole volunteer, who I beleive may be City Car 5 now, correct me if I am wrong.

2 City trucks in action...

back to the first job posted in Poughkeepsie....this was a stubborn fire, the entire house was PACKED full of crap, Collier's Mansion style. If you look at the windows, you can see debris piled up halfway - the entire house looked like this apparently. TL1 Operates;
