Happy Thanksgiving to all the members of the site. May you have a great day. Don't be afraid to overeat. It's only one day a year. And let's all be thankful for all that we have.

I know Johnny Gage spent some time with Ladder 5. I hope you enjoy this photo Johnny. Rig is a little before your time.

Today is site member CFDMarshall's birthday. I won't say how old he is because it will make Willy D jealous. This fine gentleman from the great state of Tennessee is a good friend to many of us on this site and always comes up to join us on all our get togethers and is fondly referred to as...

Today is Willie D's 70th birthday. He's entering a new decade so he will be out celebrating at his usual haunts.....Mickey D's, White Castle, Dunkin Donuts and so on. So have a Happy Birthday Willy and don't eat too much (fat chance).

Just saw on the news there is a 20 acre brush fire burning in Orangeburg, Rockland County, NY.

I saw the 2001 Spartan rig that was assigned to TL53 sitting at Brookfield Salvage in Elmsford awaiting the cutter's torch. This rig was in front line service just a few months ago. What got it to the junk yard so quickly? I would have thought it would go to auction and be bought by some dept...

Who else just watched the high rise rescue at 289 Nepperhan Ave in Yonkers live on the news. A firefighter Mike Giroux (if that is the correct spelling) repelled down from the roof twice to bring down two trapped workers from a collasped scaffold. Nice job. Hopefully Mike (truck4) was working...

I have noticed on several occasions recently that Ladder 75 is in the firehouse up on Central Ave and not Ladder 70. Did some changes take place?

I see the 99 Seagrave that was assigned to 19 Truck is now at the BOT at the Rock. Does anybody know if they got a new rig or a recycled rig.
