I'm thinking one of the esteemed members on this site has the radio tape from Boston during the early 1980's arson spree. For a job in Roxbury, the Working Fire, Second Alarm, Third Alarm, Fourth Alarm, and Fifth Alarm were all struck "By orders of Lieutenant Reynolds, Engine 14".

The number of PD reports. The MTA (and the DHS) can't be happy about stories about the lax security. Maybe it's time to do a remake of the movie "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3". We already have tech support ready to go.

Maybe next time this dope won't be a surfer, but choose conquesting. It's a whole lot safer. Conquesting is the merging of train geeks and urban explorers. The result is illegal trespass and sometimes hijacking MTA properties. All it takes is a $2 to $10 skeleton key you can get right now...

The IAFF was established in 1918 (Pittsburgh Local No. 1), so which turn of the century are you alluding to? Sounds like you may want to take a trip across the Potomac River and Visit IAFF archives at their headquarters or take on the Library of Congress.

Well, whatever the French were doing to get ahead of the problem, it clearly wasn't enough. It's good to see that other countries have the same high standards for TV news reporters as the US.

The French Fire Service is having a tough summer....wild fires are the big problem. Although wildfires happen anywhere, the "hotspots" are Australia, SoCal, and the Iberian Peninsula (with southeast coastal France). Normally, France burns 28,000 acres on average during the summer fire season-...

Lol! Trial attorneys have continuing education lectures on how to make you look like the village idiot. When they ask you if a particular thing is possible; no matter how stupid, absurd, or improbable, always answer yes (sir).
