    Prior to 911 in NYC

Always liked giving three rings to the fire due companies and the sending the box over the bells. Especially to...

    Prior to 911 in NYC

Hung out there as a buff. Also knew the assignment as a Brooklyn FAD LATE 60’s to mid 70’s. With the new CAD...

    5/2/23 Brooklyn 4th Alarm Box 3891

    She would use the same excuse she used several times, she wasn’t feeling well. So she couldn’t go. The real reason is she didn’t want to get booed or get an improper hand signal. Can you imagine if the news media asked her about fire operations at the scene, she would refer it to Senior Staff...
