    Wow you just brought back some great memories. I went to Visitation Day Camp in the early 70's. Church and school gone now. They are getting ready to tear down the "Stands" (Stadium) in Van Cortlandt Park.

    Wow. e69 from 143 in Harlem 5th due. Back then most of university heights, Bedford park, and Kingsbridge were a smattering of PD’s and farmland. The apartment buildings came in the 20’s and 30’s. And E69 didn’t have a 450 HP diesel to get up there. No 207 st or 225 st bridges. Must have...

    City Council wants Mayor Mamadummy to add 5th man to 80 more Engine companies

    Fire deaths are up....thats what's driving this. Politicians catching a little heat when people in their district die. Yes people die everyday waiting for EMS........but that isn't making headlines.

    5/22/26 Garden Grove CA toxic chemical tank will likely leak or explode, 40,000 evacuated fire officials say

    This has been going on for several days and 40-50,000 people have been evacuated. Time to do a vent and burn on the tank. Just like you would on a rail car.

They got into that line of work to help people and make a difference in peoples lives. Hard to stay focused when the city is not as committed to...

    EMS Caught In The Crossfire

    Thank God they were not hit. Again, why would anyone want to work in conditions like that for the same pay as a McDonalds worker….unless you are fast tracking onto the FD. These men and women definitely deserve a lot more pay.
