Report fire from the wing of a plane

Wow! That must have been fun! He retired from 252 in 1978, shortly after being hurt in a 3 alarm fire. I was listening to the fire, but didn't know he was on duty at the time, or what company the reported injured member was from.

Yes, he lives in the Ocala area. I'll speak to him in a couple of days and mention you!

Funny! Bobby is my cousin, now living in Florida.

Did you know a firefighter named Bobby Sisto?

There actually is an entrance to the LIE right about where this occurred, a short distance east of Springfield. There'd be no way for dispatchers to know the exact location of the incident until the companies respond. I was outdoors about a half mile north of this and heard a helicopter hovering...

Does anyone know of any relocations to engines in NE Queens? Between the two multiples in the Bronx, 273,295,320,306 & 326 were busy away from Queens.

Interesting that 2 Tower Ladders relocated to the houses of Aerials ended up at the fire as Tower Ladders (107,124)

This morning there was a box out in Little Neck and a box came in for the LIJ hospital facility. Until 313 & 164 became available, 320 & 167 were assigned, which is a hell of a long distance run.

I think the term is "naturists". Naturalists are something else altogether. The observation deck is very good for naturalists.

I think 319 was actually first due - they were assigned on a box for a fire reported further west in the park and ended up being escorted in by PD.
