Congrats Chief and Best of Luck! -Joe DA BUFF

Nice photos Seth.... But, what is the difference between the truck above and a Dodge Ram??? I'm a bit confused. Definitely looks mean and ready to work... Did someone say new Rescue/Brush Rigs/MP's? -Joe DA BUFF

Lousy Politicians..... And their money... -Joe DA BUFF

BLOODY AWESOME! The old M-Body Police Cars, Red Bunkers, and I like that GMC! Looks like it was a good job! -Joe DA BUFF

I usually go for Apparatus, but I love Mr. TR54's Protection from the Past!! -Joe DA BUFF

I'm with everyone who says EMS deserves their own quarters on this one. Good issue Seth.... Why doesn't it get more attention/more advocacy? Good luck in making it a reality. I'm behind y'all 110%! -Joe DA BUFF

I like the old 2021 Truck, I just thought it had character, but, looking good man! Good luck with them Chiefs! -Joe DA BUFF

As always, good photos in Protection in the Past! I like the first photo especially, nice shot of the former Quint 1, I mean Ladder 50, with the ladder pipe working! And how could I miss the Red Bunkers? Thanks! -Joe DA BUFF

Nice rig. Gainesville District (Company 4 in Prince William County) used to run a Mack Rescue. Occoquan is a cute little town; I passed through it on my drive from L.I. to Williamsburg and had a nice meal at the Virginia Grill: http://www.occoquaninn.com/vagrill.htm I would put Gainesville's Rescue 504, but their site is also down. Not sure if anybody else is interested, but... http://www.manassasfire.com/retired_appara...d_apparatus.htm http://www.cdvfd.org/apparatus.html http://www.sjvfd.org/content/fireapparatus/ Some interesting apparatus also from Prince William County, including the Stonewall Jackson Fire Brigade. -Joe DA BUFF

That's the old Tower Ladder 11 working at that job, isn't it? Wow.... Why was Rescue 3 sent? Just curious. -Joe DA BUFF

That's an interesting thought Seth. We've certainly seen Mack/Pierce in the past. Hmm... -Joe DA BUFF, who will resume what he was doing before.

Wow. I wonder why the Mack Granite chassis hasn't caught on in New York to mount Fire Apparatus. Cases in point: Hardwick, MA runs a 3500 gallon tanker. Westwood, NJ runs a BIG Mack Granite Rescue. Why haven't we seen a similar Rescue in New York, or maybe the new Yonkers Foam Unit? Just wondering, I think we'd all like to see Macks back in the Fire Business. Nice shots BTW Seth. -Joe DA BUFF

NEW YORK GIANTS! SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!! CHAMPIONS BACK IN NEW YORK! -Joe DA BUFF

Looking good! Best of luck to 2331 with it! -Joe DA BUFF

Thanks guys for all your responses. Anybody like "Robbery, Assault, and Battery?" Just curious. I think that song kinda bridges the gap between Prog Genesis and Pop Genesis. -Joe DA BUFF

Congratulations! This song is for you! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekhvwzPcD64 -Joe DA BUFF

Yep. The track split is where Amtrak diverges from the New Haven Line on its Northeast Corridor Line, originally the Harlem River Line of the New York, New Haven, and Hartford over the Hellgate Bridge and onto the New York Connecting Railroad in Queens. The New Haven Line continues to Woodlawn Junction where it joins with the Harlem Line (formerly of the New York Central), stopping at Pelham and Mount Vernon East on the way. -Joe DA BUFF

Excellent photos.... FYI-August 23 was a Monday, not a Sunday in 1982. If it was a Sunday, it would have to be August 22. How do I know you ask? Well, September and December have the same days of the week. December 19, 1982 was a Sunday (when Phil Collins played at Perkins Place). Working backwards, September 19 was also a Sunday. Continuing to work backwards, September 5 was the first Sunday, then September 1 was a Wednesday, August 29 was a Sunday, and August 22 was also a Sunday! That's how I know! Excellent photos though, vintage rigs and the like! And the vintage Greenburgh Car 69! Cool! -Joe DA BUFF

Nice to see Patrol 4 Finally! Looks like a good rig! -Joe DA BUFF

What's training like/what are the qualifications for it? Thanks. -Joe DA BUFF

You said it Izzy! Lookin' good! Here's to another 30 years with that rig! Nice shot Seth. -Joe

That's good news. I always liked that rig. GOod luck in her life as a spare! -Joe DA BUFF

Wa-Wa-Wee-WA! Stumbled onto this thread! Looking good! That job was WORKIN! Is that an ALF tiller in the background? Awesome! -Joe DA BUFF

Up and running, with that VERY BRIGHT Austin-Travis County Ecnalubma! Nice photo though. -Joe DA BUFF

I think AirMail too. That's only the second or third of those I've seen. Could be for something else, though. What? I don't have a bloody clue! -Joe DA BUFF
