have the unions or staff chiefs informed the new administration of the need to keep the engine companies staffed at 5 men until conditions improve. if not...are the hazards of the snow covered/frozen hydrants going to be addressed. the new administration is in a position to prove whether or...

it has been mentioned here before that in situations like this car parked on a hydrant instead of taking the cars windows for the supply line a summons be issued and have the car towed by the nypd....so was the car towed by the nypd? still no deterent for parking on hydrants seems to be working

from what i remember the 12th division were housed in 242 then 330/172 then for some reason i believe they might have returned to 242 before being disbanded the 12th div consisted of the 33 40 42 43 48 batt. after the 12th div was disbanded the 33 went to the 15th div and the 48 went to the 11th div

criminals scofflaws etc will be protected by this administration...taking the cars side windows and passing supply lines through them will be more of a deterrent than a summons will be.

early to mid 80s... right around the same time the women had the physical requirements lowered. the scaling ladder evolution... you would have to straddle the window sill and raising the scaling ladder to the window above required upper body strength just found it coincidental
