It wasn't exactly on the corner but a bit north on Prince on the west side of the street. I was an old victorian style building. Remember the Shell gas station on the northeast corner of 35 & Prince?

Elmer, I forgot that common sense is not common any longer in this society. lol I had 20 years as a Lt. and had my share of "unable to gain entry" scenarios.

If a boss was assigned his/her first action should be to tell the dispatcher to notify FD to have an engine respond. Having the boss travel there and then request an engine would be too time consuming and not beneficial to the situation at hand. Monday morning quarterbacking here, but did the...

Back in the days of 296 getting to that address was not at simple as it seems. 26th Avenue was all open area east of 125 street with no cross streets. It would have been using 124 street to 26 because 125 was one way northbound.

Yes and 297 2nd due with 272 coming in 3rd.

Back when, it would have been E296 297 295 on the box and the 2nd would have brought 272 273 274.

Absolutely, thanks Elmer. Ralph was his first name and J.R. Rivera was one of his Lt's before he too was promoted.

Wilkes-Barre catching a great deal of work in the last week or so.

Chief Fred Becker was CO of Motor Transport Division, Chief Gus Pappas was CO of Communications Division around 1985. William Leask (sic) was the head of Labor Relations and I can't think of who was the boss of ISU (Inspectional Services Unit) It'll come to me, maybe lol

You forgot, probably stolen as well.

I learn something new every day. Thanks.

I'm surprised that 144 is only getting a '75 rig. Back in the early 60's there was a job at the LeHarve apartment building in Beechurst Queens that had a civillian fatality. At that time 144 had a 1953 FWD with a '75 aerial. That ladder unfortunately did not reach the needed balcony and so on...

The person struck was more than a few blocks away. Unfortunately that incident was at the Junction Blvd. station which is equivalent to 94th street and Roosevelt Avenue. Both of the aforementioned stations are on the elevated section of the #7 line.

Nice ride on the Belt Parkway for 162. That took a few minutes.

Joe, glad to "see" you here. I hope all is well "old timer." Miss you guys.

Thanks Willy!

"Slashing outfits", that's what they were called years ago when good stops were made.

Very long runs for the 2nd due and other units responding and the weather didn't help.

That was posted the other day with the 54 truck front piece and inside badge number not corresponding to front piece number. I wonder what gives here?

Nice photos
