Hey Chief I hate to correct anyone that posts run downs on a job as I very very rarely do and I appreciate the work all the posters do here but the correct address is 2900 "E" St. There is no 8300 E st. I lived right around the corner when I was a kid,,,thats when all the people in Kensington...

The reason I asked was down here in Philly the officers get transferred every 3 years.,,,one other thing,,,the other day I saw a picture of an engine company restoring their hose line and I saw red hose,,,what is the significance of the red hose. Thanks

I have a question,,,can officers stay in the same spot until they decide to leave.

Two questions,,,why did FDNY do away with the squirts,,,,also what is the policy of how many members are in the bucket when a tower ladder is in operation. I beleive I've seen videos of only 1 person in the bucket and other times two.

So is this happening to anyone else ?,,,the page reducing in size. I'd appreciate if anyone else who is experiencing the same problem could reply just so I know it's not something on my end,,,,once again I'm on an android device,,,,thanks.

Well I would think when any manufacturer quotes a price they will build in any future potential warranty costs

Ok but today I'm trying to find out if anyone's page reduces in size when you open the site

Anyone else experiencing this,,,this morning when I opened the site the page reduced in size from its normal setting to about a 1/3 of what it normally was. I did not change any settings. I'm using an android tablet. Thanks

Just curious what's the Neptune System
