    Didja Know:
    When wired correctly (many are not) a Gamewell Box system has these features:
    When several boxes are pulled they will get in line and wait their turn to transmit.
    The box will wait for the beginning of a round to transmit, never in the middle.
    The box will try 26 times to gain access to a busy circuit and then take over the circuit before its spring winds down.
    If a wire is broken, the box will transmit thru the ground.
    Boxes have a telegraph key for two way communiation.
    Even in a place like the Bronx, as busy as they were in the 60's, boxes gave the quickest response times. Companies knew by the first two digits whether the box was theirs or not.
    There are only three certainties in this world-Death, Taxes, and if you pull that red box, firemen show up in three minutes.

    After the Bat. Chief came and told me and some other people the fire was contained, I left. I headed over to Coppell to see if their new rigs were in service. Having 3 stations I knew I would have a 33% chance of getting it right. So I went to Station 3 which is located next door to Town Hall. Good call since they were all there for classroom training apparently. Here are two of the four new rigs.

    Coppell Quint 121


    Here are the rigs they replaced. (These photos were taken back in April 2011).


    The last photo I caught was of Carrolton Engine 114 doing some sort of training at the high school football stadium.

    That's all for now. Enjoy!!

    Median annual wage: $45,520. The fifth most toxic job. And for this we are attacked for our pensions, our health benefits, and general insults from an ignorant public that accuses us of just about everything. I always loved the comment "Did you save a cat from a tree?" Answer...."F no I hate cats." I remember after a job once I was exhausted and "cherry red." The VAC member that checked me out told me my blood pressure was 210/110. He asked out loud, "Wow and you're alive?" Uhhh...I think so...for now anyway.

    Here's a few cell phone pics from "onlocation's" cell phone from the incident on Brook Street early this morning.
    Apparently the contractor for Con Edison was moving their truck and ran over the guide cable for a pole, which then snapped in half and fell. The wires came in contact with the vehicles in this lot.
    Thanks for the photos.

    Well this is truly amazing. According to lohud, over 60 police units had to respond from as far south as Tuckahoe to deal with this unreasonable and unruly crowd. Why? Because their "muslim sensibilities" were insulted? Give me a freakin' break. The rules are posted and for certain rides, there is to be NO WEARING OF ANY TYPE OF HEADGEAR period.
    Why do these people think they are exempt from the rules, the laws? I know what they would like; Sharia Law. Their own version of a justice system implemented in the countries they emigrate to. I think that is a disgusting disgrace, as were the actions of these supposedly "religious" people at the Playland park.
    Look, you people want to assimilate in this country, fine. I guess we have to let some of you in. But if you don't like the system, the rules in place... TOO F'IN BAD, go back to the place you came from.
    The difference between these people and the ancestors of many of us here in this forum is our great-grandparents had a huge desire to assimilate into the American culture. That's why on my mother's side, they came from Italy, moved into the south Bronx and gave up teaching their native language to their children, my mother, and therefore I don't know Italian today as a result. I wish that part were different, but the point being these people were so anxious to "fit in" they even gave up their language. Italian was forbidden to be spoken in the house by my great-grandparents, as a result their great-grandchildren only speak English.
    Now these muslims with their headgear, the hijab, they can't even get on the Dragon Coaster without starting a ruckus? Like Playland OWES them something, like WE owe them anything? They should kiss the ground of freedom they walk upon, shut their damn mouths, follow the rules, or else.
    What a waste of PD resources to have to direct half the cars on patrol up to Playland because these freaking people were "insulted"! Enough! Fit in or GET OUT!

    It's a shame that Andy isn't here today to make his arguement for smooth bore. RIP.
    Here are some great videos that show the dangers of debris in combo nozzles.

    As opposed to the snowstorm when he was a headless chicken? No disrespect for your opinion Bro, but I hate Bloomberg as much as he hates the Fire Dept., and can't wait to see him gone from office. Just my opinion.
