    Firehouses - Bronx: E82 L31

    RCL, You're right. I'm sure they parked on the apron as there was no room inside until 85 and 712 moved to the Bronx Tin House.

    Firehouses - Bronx: E82 L31

    TCU712 was a rearmount (1961 Mack/Magirus with a retro-fitted Grove aerial) and don't forget the 27 Battalion. Yes, the building was amazing. I'm sure it had a character all of it's own.

    VINTAGE FDNY WAR YEAR LIDS

    The unit symbol was painted on "back in the day" and I believe Squads were green when first organized and switched to yellow when the fireboats were designated "Marine Units" rather than "Engines" and given the green.

    LI FD Volunteers rapidly diminishing.

    What a shame. I think the economy factors in, but I also think the "new breed" doesn't want to put in the time to train, take time to respond to calls and just get dirty. There are even some paid departments that have trouble recruiting and retaining members. The call to service is, sadly...

    Houston FD Another Classic Job in the Bloody Fifth

    I can't tell you how many times I heard "...you'll ain't from around here are you..." or "...you're a Yankee ain't ya..." just because I was using a Halligan tool. Southern hospitality is real, just depends on who you are or where you're from.

    Houston FD Another Classic Job in the Bloody Fifth

    I completely agree, a case of too much protective layering. But the guys who were doing this felt they could "stay in longer and search deeper" so, for them, it was an acceptable trade-off. Plus they dressed down as quickly as possible after exiting the fire building.

    Houston FD Another Classic Job in the Bloody Fifth

    Had a friend years ago who was assigned to Ladder 19. We had many interesting discussions regarding ladder company tactics.
