  2. 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....

  3. 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...
