Thanks. Your guess is good as mine, but a long haul whichever way.

That's a great video from beginning to end. Very concise. As a native of the North Bronx whose father worked in L14 ...14 never seen north of 149th Street in years past. A dumb question, but what route would 14 take to relocate to L51? Deegan into 233rd? Bruckner to Bronx River Parkway? Local...

6 story elevator building

Great info! Thank you!

You have more knowledge of this subject than I do Ray. I was not even aware of the name Beck as designers of fire apparatus. I have always been a fan of the old Aaron's Fox pumpers. Local E48 had one when I was a kid. It looked like a behemoth compared to the other rigs. I know that AF made...

This model Mack was originally designed and manufactured by the Ahren's Fox company, which officially went out of business in 1956. I attended an apparatus muster at the Merchant Marine Academy some years ago and was shocked to see an Ahren's Fox rig of this design from 1955.

Forgive me if I have contributed this story before, but my father always enjoyed telling it. 1960s, a new building erected aside the northbound lanes of the Bronx River Parkway, the quarters of NYPD Motorcycle Unit #1. The first of its kind in the City, this unit was an attempt to embrace new...

Where was first due L37 at 1:30 in the morning?

Well I guess that settles this... Or is it this settles that?

This is a fun discussion and I'm not doubting anybody here. In the famous words of Pope John Paul II, "WTF?" BARB and DCAS and all the other computer systems were supposed to make life easier and more accurate. BUT!... How about the old methods of the Alarm Assignment Division. It had street...

Memorial Day seems to be difficult for Americans to address. It is at once the sad rememberance of such great sacrifice. (I count perhaps 50 soldiers lost in RVN in my memory.) On the other hand Memorial Day is that first touch of summer that lifts the always optimistic American spirit. And...

According to the run card posted L27 is first due and E46 second due ahead of E75. Is it possible that sometimes the computer assigns units according to where the address plots rather than the street intersection of the box number?

Buffalo?... Let me get this straight...Buffalo?...and you are criticising Bridgeport?

1938...And you live where?

Driving home through Fairfield Connecticut early yesterday afternoon I suddenly was hit with an odor of gas in my car. At first I thought it was something wrong with the vehicle but the smell continued until I got home. At that point I heard sirens as just about all BFD companies were zipping...

Wouldn't it make more sense to send 81 to 68 and 48 to 42? I guess timing is everything.

82?

No matter your preference, THAT is a fire engine. Can't help but think of my old man as the tiller man in Harlem H&L14 back before world war II... No cover, straight up steering wheel, no windshield, and his butt bigger than the tiny seat. But he did say he enjoyed looking in the second floor...

Good info but could you please translate for us dummies?
