Good luck to everybody down in central FL, this mornings forecast is thankfully showing the storm dropping in intensity before making landfall but the storm surge and flooding is going to be a real disaster for an area that just rebuilt after Ian

Smart man, he clearly knew in advance didn't have to washdown his gear in moldy tank water

10 days on the job and off he goes back to retirement: https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/08/17/fdny-first-deputy-joseph-pfeifer-ousted-by-new-fire-commissioner/ Can't say I'm surprised, he was pulling quite the salary down and was brought on to help bolster Kavanaughs rapidly falling star of a...

Fighter went back into the water at the shipyard on Tuesday this week, she'll be there a few more days running through the usual bugs and hiccups that come with being laid up on the hard for the last 9 months, but once those are sorted she'll be heading back to Mystic. The crew did a hell of a...

Pics from RobShots, Niagara Falls FD, Niagara County Hazmat & Niagara Falls ARB Hazmat Squad responded. No injuries.

Is there a reason the Squads are kept to the 1000gpm pump these days when the rest of the fleet is going to 2000gpm? Smaller pump = more internal room for specialized tools?

Bravo zulu, well done

Hope the victims are ok, terrible to be hit by some jonny burnout idiot or DWI on the 4th.

The event you are thinking of was the aftermath of the Alva Cape/Texaco Massachusetts collision. The Alva Cape was anchored in Gravesend Bay lightering off the remaining Naptha cargo when sparks caused a massive explosion and fire. The fireboat Alfred Smith was alongside at the time and was...

Very impressive video, one I've never seen before. I've always found this pic to be the most stark representation of just what the FDNY marine fleet was up against that night, and for a good portion of the early response it was Fire Fighter under the command of Lt. McKenna who faced it alone...

Looked like the injured firefighter had his hand on the green unit the entire time, so hopefully he was semi-cognizant enough to help out, but chest compressions is never a good sign. Hoping for the best.

Thats a new one for me, Ive never seen 4 guys lift a car with a ladder before!
