Wow, I can remember this day very well even though I was only 7. Looking out the window of my house and seeing all the smoke. Of course, all I could think about at the time was, "All right! No school tomorrow!" One thing I think about now and laugh at is watching the VFD chief responding to the scene in a Con-Ed truck. Thanks TR

That's pretty funny. He would probably get fired for that now-a-days. Such is the problem with many volunteer departments now. Employers used to understand when you had to leave work to "do what you have to do".
