  1. I'm no truckie, but I agree with you. Between the pole and the wires, the ladder stays in the cradle. If you look at some of the pictures toward the bottom, it looks like they eventually moved the truck out of the way, it's no longer at the curb. Same as you, no offense to PFD, just doesn't look right to this tanker driver.

    Would love to hear from someone that was there. Isn't Truck 2 on upper Main St. and Truck 1 on N. Clover? That would have made T1 first due ladder, but T2 is in front of the building. T1 OOS, another alarm, or just out of the picture?

    Used to go to this place occasionally way back when I was going to Marist College. Ah, the good old days.......

    This fire took place during Kids Expo, I believe in the late '90's or early 00's. Ladder 2 was located on Main St., for the event and was blocked in due to the event, with a long delay in getting out. Ladder 1 was Out of Service with the Reserve Engine Running in its place. So obviously, by the time Ladder 2 was able to make it's way to the scene, there unfortuneatly wasn't much it could do. You are correct that Ladder 1 is located at Clover St., and Tower 2 is at Main St.


  2. I used to work with Rich at the DCJ many years ago and as everyone else knows, he was a very dedicated man, who made you laugh. He made some of those long shifts bearable. I saw him not to long ago and almost didn't recognize him, but you could tell from the big grin and loud voice it was him. He will be missed.
