Atlanta FD apparatus Fleet in dire straights
Capttomo, I could not open the video but this is saying that the Aaron's Fox name still lives? 70 years after their last rig went in service? Who knew?...not me! -

Atlanta FD apparatus Fleet in dire straights
Excellent observations Bulldog. Always made sense to me when the FDNY went to just all Mack pumpers and Seagrave ladders in the 1970s. But as a kid and a buff in the 1950s it was always a pleasant surprise when visiting a new yet unknown firehouse as to what type of apparatus would be in... -

CHI TOWN FFs UNION DENIED PERMIT.
Just like New York, the citizens (well maybe they are) in these cities (Chicago, DC, Detroit, LA, San Fran,...) elect these people. They get what they deserve...or vice versa.- 3511

8/1/24 Manhattan 2nd Alarm Box 0258
So the relocator gets credit for two runs and a worker...anything else? During the war years there was a lot of controversy over who got credit for what as units were constantly moving around. -

8/1/24 Manhattan 2nd Alarm Box 0258
A different slant to an age-old question...L111 crosses the bridge to relocate at L1. (A lotta' "1s" there.) L111 then assigned to the local incident. Does does L111 get credit for a Run, Worker, All Hands and OSW or does L1 get credit for two of each category? Just asking... -

Hook and Ladder 96
Entropy, While you are technically correct that there were only two ladder "companies" in the Bronx in 1900, Engines 45, 48, 50, 52, 61, 62, 68, 69, and 70 all operated with ladder sections at the turn of the 20th century, just as Engine 96 would later do. From June 1st 1935 until December... -

Dallas TX Fire Destroys First Baptist Church Historic Sanctuary 7/19/24
I had a long time girlfriend in Dallas and used to buff at Engine 17. They had a enlarged photo hanging on their kitchen wall of a horse-drawn steam pumper responding out of their quarters. The members had no idea who was in the photo and were delighted when I informed them it was Bronx Engine... -

6/20/24 Bronx 4th Alarm Box 2297
This harkens back to a policy in the 18th battalion in the 1950s. There were four single engine companies in the battalion, 42,45,48,96, but only two ladder companies, 27 and 38. As often assigned higher on the run card, the trucks would respond ahead of their partner engines, 46 or 88, to get... -

6/29/24 Manhattan 2nd Alarm Box 1722
So it appears in the last 6 months or so major changes in the alarm assignments have totally eliminated the traditional methods of response. At this incident, 12 engines and 11 trucks (or did I lose count?) on a second alarm. Relocators, who used to be untouchable, are now routed into an... -

6/20/24 Bronx All Hands Box 3195
Looks like they're at the 4th alarm, 4th due on the 2nd. Looks like these jobs overlapped. 88 /38 plot closer to this box (1.2 mile) vs 1.4 from 46/27. Maybe 88 on this box, 38 busy elsewhere so 27 assigned as FAST. Before all hands went out here 46 already on the way to 2297. Or maybe they... -
