HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

Willie Did you take it in? 17 miles is nt far, there are companies due on the box at my house that come 17 miles. Pressurized the Providence Canteen did not make it. Looked like a hell of a fire

17/7 may have been drilling on the Island and 3 covering 17

6 -1875. why was Engine 3 first in and E-17 and L-7 on 4th. 21 and 7 would be first due

Yeah read the Book Busy As Hell 2 and the author gives a run down o the companies that ran all of the place.

Precision is a good word for it. Rather than having a cascade of units arriving simultaneously, fewer units are easier to assign upon arrival. Even though East Boston is isolated, once the units start heading that way they get there reasonable quickly. Also note that not necessarily the...

That makes perfect sense. I forgot all about L-23, was thinking 7 Truck might be second due. On the other hand I have heard rumors that L-13 is being brought back in service. Hard to believe 40 years ago the tapped Ladders 3-13-20 out of service. They were 1st, 2nd and 3rd due to many boxes in...

The SDS can be very difficult to program. Then again you have the option just to plug in your zip code and you are monitoring the radio in 8 seconds

WOW 197 pages of fantastic fire department operations and history. Great work by the IFBA. Need to check into membership

I got a great deal from HRO---I think it stands for Ham Radio Operators (or something) they only have a few stores, but they are spread geographically throughout the county. Less than $600 and free shipping. Be sure you get the newer version with the extra built in battery for great battery...

Best radio I have ever owned. And I have been listening to fire radio traffic for 56 years. The size makes it a bit difficult to perform functions quickly, but that is an acceptable trade off. The larger SDS 200 may be easier for rapid functioning, but it is not portable.

Unfortunately, but not unexpectedly the 2021 IFBA Convention scheduled for Ottawa has fallen victim to Covid travel restraints imposed by the Canadian Government Our friends north of the border are already planning on hosting the 2025 Convention. Future conventions include...

Excellent information. Sounds like an extremely worthwhile organization and worth joining.
