Rest In Peace Sir.

Dan, we used to call the black bag "the Fuller Brush salesman's kit."

Dan, you don't look a day older from that photo was taken. Be well my friend and be safe.

Rest In Peace Jim. He is a great guy and a great mechanic. It was a pleasure to know you! God Bless.

1972 Plymouth Fury I with a 318 8 cylinder engine.

Obviously not, lol, I saw the 33 and thought of the MD. The firehouse it was in front of was also another clue to what 33 it was. Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa. Oh well..

Duh! Why didn't I think of that :o

Maybe the on duty Medical Dr. there on business or his driver at those quarters for the night?

As the Dells once sang, "Oh What A Night"

Grump, it could be conceived that way, however as is said, many hands make light work. You'll also note that these "combo" companies did not exist long.

Rest In Peace Brother, God Bless You And We Thank You For Your Service. May God Comfort Your Family And Our Prayers Are For You.

I guess the eyesight and memories are better than I thought. Thanks Dan and Chief JK :o

If I'm not mistaken, that house watch photo is from the quarters of E273/L129. The eyeballs aren't as keen as they were but it looks like a plethora of 4400 boxes and their house watch was on the right side of the apparatus floor if you were looking in from the street.

"Johnny", it was 11-11 on the bells. 0900 & 1800.

Calling the pension unit.

Continue to rest in peace and you will never be forgotten.

The second photo in reply 124 looks as if were taken at the Mill Basin (Brooklyn) oil tank farm fire back in 1962. Any other thoughts on it?

I do know that my dad was there with E16. I believe they responded on the 3rd alarm but don't quote me. :-\

In the mid-60's when the 52 was still quartered with 272, the Battalion Chiefs were; Joseph Weinhoffer Louis Timmerman (Bn. Commander) Thomas McEnery XXX O'Hara    (Cannot remember his first name) The short lived 16th Division, for it's duration, was quartered with 274 in the mid-60's.

The tool box on the running board just behind the chauffeur's seat was where the chauffeur stored his helmet, turnout coat and boots. The box at the very end of the rig was where the portable generator was stored. I guess it varied but that's how it was on L130's rig back in the day.
