    LA County FD suing REV group, Oshkosh and others

    I gotta laugh! Someone musta fallen off the melon truck to believe this has got a shot. My prediction (and you all know there's a place to bet on this) is that somewhere along the line it will get tossed out. In the meantime, the manufacturers will spend millions on delighted lawyers to...

    4/28/26 Baltimore MD 3rd Alarm Box 41-30

    Never make fun of a Bal'more accent (that was a lombard truck going down Lumbar Street!) Never confuse a Bal'more accent with a Philly, WPa, Jersey, or any NYC accent! This box is in far east Baltimore... Engine 30 is halfway to West Virginia. Maryland Line vollies can beat Laurel in to that box.

    3/22/26 Queens 2nd Alarm Crash Box 0037

    Does PAPD allow/require immediate blood testing of members after an accident? Does PAPD allow/require immediate interviews of members after an accident? Seems to be some flagrant PAPD contributions to this event.

    4/21/26 Baltimore MD 2nd Alarm Box T5-30

    Thanks. There's gotta be at least a half dozen Baltimore County companies that can beat Engine 35/ Truck 27 in to this box from across town.

    4/21/26 Baltimore MD 2nd Alarm Box T5-30

    Boy, that's the least of it. This entire alarm assignment looks like it was generated by the same way they pick Powerball lottery numbers-random selection.

    4/21/26 Bronx 5th Alarm Box 3326

    Is this one of those buildings that has gotten a rehab and then "somebody" doesn't bother to fire stop the pipe chases again?

    Washingron DC new rigs questions.

    If Baltimore City FD (The Monument City) was interested in respecting their history, we would see a return to cream white with red fenders and running boards, Baltimore Baskets, Morse deck pipes, and gold leaf fleur-de-lis and company lettering. Omaha Orange is the Dollar Store paint scheme for...
