The last order published was retirements and Probies assigned to FDNY Nov.28th.

Well Stone Avenue became Mother Gaston Boulevard. Explain that change. From Avenue to Boulevard. Maybe Blvd. sounds more refined then Ave..

If that Street name came on a computer printout, we'd still be looking for it 31 years later.

Wasn't a transfer order due to come down on Dec. 3rd to fill Co.s that had openings? Seems like Nov. 28 was last order posted. Anyone have any updates?

When I first read the location , I never heard of Covert St. & Hudson Blvd. , especially after responding to that box for 24 years. I took out my Hagstrom Street Atlas and sure enough no Hudson Blvd.. I then reread your post and now I realized Hudson Blvd. became Covert St.. But with all the...

The Fire Dept. is like an insurance policy, it's nice to know it's there but hopefully you never have to use it. And only when you need them is when you care about it. Another thing we forget with the amount of emt runs Engines are doing, it continues to stress the response of other companies to...

We say 4 man engine but only 3 guys are stretching the line. If MPO needs help to hook up now just 2 guys stretching. So maybe the people in the City will vote the right people in the next election. Probably see more line of duty injuries with less help on the line. Lines in place extinguish the...

At one time it was called Smokie Oval park, before it became Phil Rizzuto Park.

I just received word of the passing of Joe DiResta, Eng.233 on 11/25/2023. Joe was there when I was assigned to E233-2 back in 69. He had the most talented son's, John was the comedian and was in a few movies and had a short lived TV show and Jimmy was in construction and also had many shows on...

15 garages will make no impact on a housing shortage. Unless you can cram 100 illegals in one.

Sorry for your loss Brothers.

817 is Central & Decatur.

When I was in the service, 64-68, Zippo was the lighter of choice with a lifetime guarantee. I believe only $2.00 in the BX and no tax. I still have mine from my Service days and used it till I quit smoking in 76. A little beat up and the numbers inside are not readable from refilling it by...

Sounds like a good time to ask anybody available in Brownsville.

On Nov. 24, 1972 8 other companies were disbanded. It wasn't like FDNY was slowing down, because runs and workers continued to increase in numbers. We were in between 120 & 123 and doing 5000 runs each. We were only 4 blocks from either company.

I think that was thought of the TCU members, that were to become 176. We did get 4 guys from TCU and 7 from other Companies. I thought there was some kind of problem with John T. O'Hagan and them, that's why they were disbanded. The other problem we had was that we needed Truck Chauffeurs so we...

In 1960 our Family drove cross country to California. Went to Disneyland where you bought a book of tickets to go on the rides. Etickets got you the best rides, but not many of those. A,B,C and D got the lesser rides. But there was a Radio station in CA. that kept playing continuously Last Night...

Back then the subways were so crowded usually standing room only. Everyone commuted to Manhattan for work and they were safe to ride. So if there was a fire in the subway you had evacuation problems with the hordes of people and of course the fire. The second section was disbanded on Nov. 24...

I spent 3 years driving the Jersey Tnpk. from Dover AFB and listened to Philly stations before I could pick up NY. NY came in around exit 13 and that's when I knew I was getting close to home. I usually dropped a few guys off at the PA bus terminal on Friday and picked them back up on Sunday...

The assignment card I have is dated 8/71. Back then the 2 sections of 233 were 1st & 2nd due and 232 was 3rd due. TCU 732 was 1st and 175 was 2nd due. Not many of our boxes at 233 had both sections responding and only 1st & 2nd due and high life hazard was the consideration for that. This box...
