    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.

    Did you just make that all up? Engine 30 coming back from training on Pulaski Highway?

    4/28/26 Yonkers NY 3rd Alarm

    Is that place occupied or vacant? Any fire inside?

    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?

    5 years probation for driver who plowed into 25 LASD recruits, killing 1

    Huh! Here in Texas that's the exact same punishment you would get for singing out of tune in church.

    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...

    They Still Got It

    And let's not forget Paul Anka wrote "My Way", "She's A Lady", and the theme song to the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

    They Still Got It

    A class act! I got to see him doing his night club act in Vegas years ago. While singing, he went through the audience shaking hands-including mine. BTW- today is Bobby Vinton's 91st birthday. He's from Canonsburg, Pa., southwest of Pittsburgh. Canonsburg is also the birthplace of Perry Como...

    4/16/26 Baltimore MD Box 13-22

    Up until 1919, North Avenue was Baltimore's northern city line. Forty years ago this box was in the middle of circle made up by Engine 18, Engine 19, Engine 28, Engine 1, Truck 11, and Truck 5. All now gone. Budget cuts can produce a strange landscape.
