    8/10/24 Brooklyn 10-75 Box 1303

    Brings back memories I spent alot of time on that roof running wire to the pole across the street. It wasn't a Citi Bike shop then. That neighborhood has had alot of change. The DSNY garage is over there also.

    "FIRESTORM" book.

    Its a great book the best one I have on the War Years. Its hard to believe the amount of false alarms and the fact that in certain cases there wouldn't even be a response to some boxes other than a single engine. Also the civil unrest creating so many working fires that some were ignored and...

    Television from a different time

    I remember my parents had The Button Down Mind Of Bob Newhart album. His ability to have a one sided telephone conversation and make it funny was genius. The Bob Newhart Show had some hilarious characters in his office as did Newhart. Something about him just made you sit, relax and enjoy his...

    7/13/24*Birds v. Drones [!]

    Maybe they think the drones are in their territory competing for food. I saw 5 or 6 crows attack a vulture that was sitting on the roof of the house behind me. They were diving on him and eventually he left and I never saw him again.

    AUTOMATED CAMERA ENFORCEMENT.

    Absolutely! Just looking at the 2nd alarm fire in Brooklyn yesterday one of these things started a fire that blocked the only stairway. Fortunately no one was killed and the FDNY members did a great job of making sure this wasn't a major loss of life. The anti gun mutts want to make every...

    6/20/24 Bronx 4th Alarm Box 2297

    I was wondering why they went through the car also. He was parked too close but it seemed like it took longer to do that than just go around it.

    "FIRESTORM" book.

    I remember stories every day in the NY Daily News and on tv about the disgraceful condition of the city and the fires. Furlough FDNY members?! In a city where they let fires burn due to "civil unrest" and inability of the cops to control crime. Besides the clowns of the city trying to downplay...

    "FIRESTORM" book.

    I am just starting 1973 and i think this is the best book on the FDNY I have read. The stats are amazing and I like to see the locations in Brooklyn I've worked throughout my career listed and look at Google map images of how much has changed since then. I'm not a member so my question to the...

    Wouldn't Richmond Engine be sent anyway being that they're so close? Instead of say E167 whose probably at least 10 min further away. I don't know if they have staff there all the time or not.
