  1. Happened to be surfing cable TV,found a Mexican movie from 1952 about a firefighter in Mexico City it's in spanish but has some very good shots of Mexico City apparatus,ALF 700,ALF aerial TT c1931,Mack L model pumpers...worth seeing....title:EL BOMBERO ATOMICO....it's on dvd...check IMDB for more info....joe
  2. Sad commentary on the times we live in,Ton's of dollars sent overseas not enough spent here where they are needed......
  3. what were they thinking?? can't believe Detroit is that bad!!
  4. it's the same old story...the politicians run out of money and the taxpayer pays...
  5. I worked in Fire Patrol 2, 84 west 3rd st Manhattan it was said ;by the oldtimers it was haunted by a member who hung himself on the 4th floor,i spent 32 years there,never ran into him....but the wireservice picked up on it the rest was history....google it,it makes good reading....
  6. A good idea,now maybe sanitation trucks in the largest city in westchester will do likewise... and obey traffic laws....don't misunderstand....they do a great job...and a necessary job ....my opinion
  7. Sounds like another second avenue subway....and you know how long it's taking......
  8. A victory for cool heads and common "cents"...
  9. Now if the bad guys will conform to the new standard,problem solved..........
  10. I'ts New York state,what did you expect???
  11. Maybe the new admin. in Washington will help.....maybe not.....let's see.....
  12. Sorry for the job loss,but can't say i'am sorry to see news 12 go.more often then not they fail to get a story right.maybe the move will improve things....my opinion
  13. I think FDNY also considered fire assist rescue team,until they realized it would be F.A.R.T......
  14. I dispatched for a city in westchester, a lot of the frequent flyers know what to say to get a ride to the hospital .we had one flyer that called 3-4 times a day all hours,the administration knew but did nothing.a few times we had a cardiac call and had to call an out of town bus...this happens in most towns and city's..it seems as long as the bill gets paid nobody cares until something goes wrong then they hang the dispatcher.....my 2 cents...
  15. Remember Keith Roma...Fire Patrol 2 number "344".....RIP brother
  16. At this time i'am rushing to the Stop and Shop to stock up on creamed squid...before they run out........
  17. was on the Sprain brook last week,a Suffolk chief's crown vic passed me at 85+ in the left lane north....mutual aid?
