Good question. Can't wait for the new one! Any and every FDNY Buff should own this guide! I have learned sooo much from it. I read it from cover to cover then keep it nearby for reference.

2 firefighters from E14 & a Lt from L23

Haven't been able to find Queens Dispatch on my scanner app or Broadcastify. It's important to me because my daughter lives in Astoria. Any ideas on what's going on? Thanks guys!!

Nice write up!

You may want to look up the definition of communism. It's much, much worse than encrypted radios!!

FYI: Analog vs Digital has nothing to do with encryption. Both can be encrypted.

Those community groups that are concerned with 'police misconduct' should bring this issue to the publics attention and argue that 'secret police radio transmissions' fly in the face of accountability and openness. I think that is a legit argument.

Doesn't the All Hands require an additional 1 & 1?

And in December the Dept of Corrections will have the vaccine mandate forced upon them. That will be a disaster and huge unnecessary danger for COs.

FoxNews article reported 10 companies were placed out of service Friday because of what the brass called 'sick out'. Commissioner Nigro quoted as saying the loss of 10 companies puts public safety at risk! Okay Mr. Nigro, and how about when the vaccine mandate closes 20% of companies and...

Highly doubtful.

ABC7 reports that city officials believe a "job action" may be under way this Friday evening as there have been a lot of members calling off sick. (Remember the uptick in illness could be side effects of the vaccine they mandated!) Some companies have had to close and others are running short...

My local volunteer fire company last year took delivery of a $1+ million Seagrave heavy rescue with a Hackney body.

He looks like one of the Alphabet People!

Both Warren Fuchs and tree tree oh "the beefman" have both been guests on the podcast "Gettin' Salty Experience" which is hosted by 2 retired members from Squad 288. Check it out on YouTube. You'll see interviews with some of the biggest names from the FDNY. I personally love the podcast and...

It takes a bit extra time to put into service, but doubling the height is pretty impressive. May not be needed frequently, but when it is it could be a life saver! One more arrow in the LFB's quiver!!

Boy I hate to see skilled jobs leaving g these towns. The impact is substantial on these smaller communities. Good luck to all.

Manufacturers are constantly upgrad I ng technology in warning light and discontinue older and less popular units pretty quickly, so what was available a few years ago may be discontinued.

I'd be happy to see a lot more Seagrave apparatus. Seems pretty well built and has a decent track record. I'm sure there's a few lemons here or there but overall very reliable from my experience!

NY Post says 65% of FDNY firefighters, officers and EMS have been vaccinated. But, WPIX channel 11 says 59% of FDNY and 69% of NYPD have been vaccinated. So who knows! I'd be willing to bet some have been vaccinated, but didn't tell the job because it's none of their business!
