    FDNY Rigs circa 1968

    Back in the late 90's while I worked as a medic on the Lower East Side I remember they started cleaning up the old E17/L18 firehouse. I wondered for a while what they were doing.

    Bay Shore NY (Suffolk) - House Fire 5/29/22

    What are your thoughts on that Dan? From these pics it looks like a heads up move. Cars in the driveway would have made laddering that window difficult. Also, it appears the aerial was used the vent the window allowing the outside truck firefighters to perform additional tasks. Just my...
