I got this a couple days ago and got to look through it. Beautiful work and probably the best FDNY book I have. My uncle Mike was a War Years FF and I grew up in the late '60s-'70s so it has alot of memories for me. I remember my parents taking me to E165 way back in the early '70s when I lived...

I use the US Law Shield. It cost me a small amount for the piece of mind having lawyers to contact in a situation. If I'm in a real jam its Evan Nappen. I live in NJ so even coming face to face with someone in my own house I'll have to defend myself for taking them out. Castle doctrine or not...

I was surprised to read there are still that many false alarms. I know its way down from the War Years but I guess there's still alot of a-holes around.

I finally ordered a copy today it looks great. I have some of Jack's other books this should be even better.

Wasn't there an incident in the '80s? where a FF fell off the back step on a turn and was killed? I'm not sure if it was the FDNY.

My work location is on 71st around 16th av. We were getting a heavy smell of smoke in and around the building around 3pm I assume from this fire. Strange because the fire at Box 2865 last week was only a few blocks away and it wasn't near as much.

I work a few blocks away on 71st and I went out to take a look. They had their hands full there but a great job of keeping it just to those 2 buildings. Not easy streets to work on.

Very true. I worked North Brooklyn for 25 years and the Heights was part of my turf. My job required me going into the premise so I saw MANY of the interiors and some were really impressive. You did have to watch yourself because as you said they wouldn't hesitate to call with customer...

Great movie!

What could possibly go wrong there? :unsure:

They're on the VZ every day. Also doing truck inspections on the SI side.

NY Post clowns. What does the guy's salary have to do with it? Another way to put the public against people for what they make.

My sister lives a couple blocks away. Nice having 162/82 close by.

Rough spot. Years ago when our guys got dispatched there it was a 4 man area.

Reminds me of the Brooklyn Terminal Market fire.
