Thanks for the information on Ladder 8 and the interesting discussion on the reassignment of Ladder companies.

Is Ladder 8 in their own quarters or are they relocated to another house for renovation of their firehouse?

Rest in peace Chief

A little job we had yesterday 12/16/15, in Albemarle County, VA.  I was off, Battalion 12 had the incident.  The first due Engine, Engine 1 from the City of Charlottesville on automatic aid, made a nice quick knockdown, backed up by Engine 82.  Amazing how well it goes when you stretch a line...

I know this may have been explained before on this forum, but I cannot find the thread.  I was reading in the most current WNYF an article about a collapse at a fire on Jennings Street in 1974.  In this article, it is referenced that when additional assistance was requested, a dispatchers 3rd...

May all the brothers who have recently passed rest in eternal peace.  Thank you all for your service.

Prayers for the Brazilian Police Officer and his family.  He was killed in a cycling accident while competing in the World Fire and Police Games being held in Fairfax, Virginia.  2 other Brazilian Officers were seriously injured and are still in the hospital in Virginia.  Prayers for their rapid...

RIP Mike and all the other War Years Vets who have passed on.

Yesterday was a high wind, low humidity day in Virginia.  There were multiple brush fires throughout the state, including several in Albemarle County, VA where I work and we were on-duty.  Units had just finished controlling a 10 acre blaze when a single engine response was struck for a small...

RIP Peace to all the departed Brothers.

I think I asked about this last year, but I am still a little confused (old age has finally hit!).  Is the Fire Ice a separate rig, or is it something carried on select Engine Companies? I have very little experience with manhole fires. At what point is water applied to the manhole, and is the...

Rest In Peace Officer.  Very sad.

Thanks

Does the City still own this building? What is it utilized for now? A shame such a beautiful firehouse is no longer in use.

RIP Brother.  Prayers going up now for you, your family, brother firefighters and friends.  Praying for a speedy and complete recovery for the injured.

The obvious answer to this question is, stay away.  However, we have had a trip planned to New York since this time last year for the Andy Fredericks Seminar being held up in Elmsford this Saturday.  We have made this trip every year for the past 10 years, and have nine brothers coming up this...

Heading out to Chicago for the first time tomorrow morning to attend the Fire Rescue International Conference.  Staying at the Sheraton Towers.  Where is the best Chicago food near here (like deep dish pizza!) Also, is there a Chicago Firehouse nearby to visit?  Thanks, FP16

At our monthly "Board Meeting" here in Virginia with FDNY War Year vets, we had the opportunity to hear accounts of this fire from several fireman that were on the first due companies to this box.  One was a guest, his name was Richie (?) who was visiting Eddie F from 124 Truck and made the...

I was having lunch today with some War Year vets.  During the stories and conversations about the 60's and 70's, they referred to working a "Chinese 72".  Anyone out there who can explain a Chinese 72?
