Dan, you absolutely have a gift for telling stories and if you get as much pleasure of out of typing them as we do reading them, then please continue.

Just to say that today the thoughts of thousands of buffs, fire service personnel and members of the public are with you. We might be thousands of miles away across the pond, but we stand with you shoulder to shoulder as always. Never forget.

Haha she was great the Queen Mum, as for the rest of them.......

Dan P (JohnnyGage), I've been loving this thread since it started, even though I'm across the pond in the UK, I'm a huge FDNY buff. I listened to you on the Getting Salty podcast recently whilst taking a train journey across country and found myself getting a few glances off fellow passengers...

Thanks for the information guys

Hi guys, A bit late asking the question, but I read that this 'only' remained at a 3rd Alarm. Is the rundown different in San Diego for alarms compared to other cities? I assumed an incident of this size would warrant a few more alarms. Incidentally, stopped by San Diego last year on the way...

Our FD channels across the United Kingdom have been encrypted since around 2009, the PD went the same way a few years prior. The narrative here is simply terrorism related. Anyone listening to the radio traffic of the emergency services is clearly a criminal, terrorist or up to some sort of...

Just a quick word on the Gettin Salty podcasts, I've found myself engrossed in these watching from 'across the pond'. I think these guys have nailed it, its a great mixture of humour and insight with a whole host of stories from back in the day. They dedicated an episode to the Waldbaums...

Yesterday (20th) we had the largest fire our brigade has faced in 20 years plus. It didn't help that it happened on the hottest day of the year so far (27.8C - 82F) ACFO Dave Mottram, Incident Commander on scene, said: "We were called to Sankey Valley Industrial Estate at around 11am on...

Truly staggered and unable to grasp why this POS is being released to freedom. Did I read correctly that one of the board members who voted for his parole is actually a relative of the fallen officer?!!? Surely this ludicrous decision must be reversed.  :-\

A bit late reporting, but my local brigade (department) had one of the largest and most difficult fires for many years on New Years Eve when a 7-storey multi-storey car park was completely totalled...

Hi Guys, Forgive the question which maybe pretty straightforward to you guys, but asking from the UK across the pond. With two 7th alarms transmitted in the last week I noticed on the individual topics for these incidents people make reference to a boro call. One of the guys explained it...

Hi Guys, Liverpool is my home city and although the May Blitz happened LONG before I was born, its still well documented and remembered by many in this city. Liverpool was one of several cities targeted by the Germans, our proximity to the docks and the vast number of warehouses and factories...

Thanks for the info  :)

In George Pickett's excellent book: The Brave, he tells of a 12 alarm fire in Brooklyn around this time. It apparently started in an old church and went on to take out around 40 buildings. Would this be the same fire as at Knickerbocker and Bleeker?

London, England in the 1970's was THE place to buff in the UK at the time. West Indian, Jamaicans and other emigrants were beginning to arrive and make areas their own. Unfortunately they were not used to the harsh English winters and as a result bought paraffin heaters which caused way too many...
