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...

275 with 133... 75 with 33 in my neighborhood.

G-man rule strikes again.

Roosevelt Island... But of course. Thanks for the reply.

D14 covers Manhattan?

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...

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?
