    Old EMS buses

    Rode one as a Corpsman (One of the first with green uniform, we were the "Ambulance attendant" and "MVO" all rolled into one.) We had a bread box truck a few times when our regular rigs went out of service. Uncomfortable to say the least, especially midnight-8am tour roving around East New York...

    FIREICE EXTINGUISHING AGENT REMOVED FROM SERVICE 12-13-25.

    Fireice was a gel that stuck to burning material eliminating oxygen, I think it was supposed to be used for manhole fires. Just another better mouse trap gimmick came out about 10 years, or so, ago.

    Pre-connect hose on FDNY engine companies

    Yes, indeed, I love watching those videos of firefighters running half way down the block and back up dumping a shoulder load of 300' for a 100 ft stretch.

    I agree 100%, can be very frustration and I find myself limiting my time and moving on. A bit overkill.

    Hose Ramps

    They work as long as the train crosses them slowly, if one wheel derails you can fix by using the sky-hook carried by most rescues.

    Less we forget, the TV GUIDE. Bought every week at the local supermarket next to the register; inviting, fresh and crisp...by the end of the week it looked like it was dragged through a war zone.
