[-X Got nothing to do with bad blood. It's who's first on the mutual aid list.Like I said before YONKERS hasn't been first on Mt. Vernon's mutual aid list since 99-2000 and anyone who goes back that far knows that Yonkers Eastside companies spent more time in Mt.Vernon then they did in Yonkers and depending on what was needed maybe Mt.Vernon couldn't spare the manpower

That building ,the old kimball theater,was deemed a surround and drown if you couldn't get in and knock it down in the first few minutes.

It was a used furniture salvage shop with stuff piled to the ceiling.I used to work on the first due ladder (73). Any reports of civilians missing or hurt cause people used to sleep in the rear .Sounds like the guys did a GREAT job. =D>

As of a year ago I retired then ,71 and 75 didn't have extrication tools only 72,73,74 and 70. TL's only had airbags. Knowing how they work I'm sure they'll be getting them

Maybe to help settle some of the gossip and boggle. Yonkers is not second on the mutual aid list and hasn't been since 99 or early 2000.That is because before then everytime Mt.Vernon had more then one room going they would call Yonkers for mutual aid,in fact sometimes leaving a place for a Yonkers ladder in front of the building.Yonkers was spending way more time in Mt.Vernon cause they wouldn't hire more men. Plain and simple If you don't know don't assume

The Issue your looking for is the March 1982 issue of Firehouse.The article is in the Magazine .It was not on the cover.

I know because I'm one of the people in the picture with Lt.Cerrato(May he Rest in Peace).If you can not get a copy let me know and his family can have mine
