    5/3/26 Manhattan 3rd Alarm Box 1791

    All very true. Somebody has gotta be in charge. In Houston, a previous Department Chief was an out-of-town DEI hire; nice person, good resume. A veteran District Chief observed that the guy had never been an IC at any fire bigger than an outhouse. If he went to an incident, he would talk to the...

    5/3/26 Manhattan 3rd Alarm Box 1791

    Let me see if I have this straight. They send Car 421- the Third Division Deputy- to Inwood, to tell the Seventh Division Deputy how to run his fire. And Car 3 is already there. Seems like HR is gonna have to get involved.

    It's the same principle that dogs employ when they mark their territory.

    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?

    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.
