    Dennis Smith, RIP

    Rest In Peace Mr. Smith. I read a few of his books starting with Report From Engine Co. 82 and all were excellent. Report From Ground Zero might be his best.

    1/19/22 Brooklyn 2nd Alarm Box 1401

    I know that place well I worked in the building many times. There used to be alot of businesses in there. There's a phone room behind E241 near where the bucket is. Funny thing is I repaired the phone in that big trailer years ago. The building itself is pretty beat up.

    CHESTER ST BROWNSVILLE BKLYN 1970

    I'm no engineer or expert but just looking at the first pictures it just seemed like that building was gonna come down. When the slideshow got to the collapse pictures I'm thinking "I knew that building was coming down". I can't explain why that came into my head either.

    I got a chance to see E224s quarters many times because one of our terminals was in the basement. It looked like a classic firehouse and good group of guys there no matter who was working. They'd always offer a cup of coffee and at one time I actually had to repair their phone so I sat around...

    prayers needed for Kevin Obrien (KOB)FDNY

    You're welcome 217. My dad was quite a bit older than Kevin, 84 at the time and he was also affected by Parkinson's which seriously affected his mobility and by the end of a 45 day stay he was up walking with a walker and minimal assistance. I'd guess Kevin's road will be somewhat easier if he's...
