    4/23/24 Brooklyn 4th Alarm Box 2865

    I work a few blocks away on 71st and I went out to take a look. They had their hands full there but a great job of keeping it just to those 2 buildings. Not easy streets to work on.

    4/7/24 Brooklyn All Hands Box 0484

    Very true. I worked North Brooklyn for 25 years and the Heights was part of my turf. My job required me going into the premise so I saw MANY of the interiors and some were really impressive. You did have to watch yourself because as you said they wouldn't hesitate to call with customer...

    Encryption of public safety frequencies growing nationwide

    Here's another side to it, sometimes a missing person report is broadcast in NYC for example. The description is given and it goes out over the radio and someone monitoring it in the area may see something. Being that cops, fire or EMS can't be everywhere a citizen may help save someone who may...

    FDNY fire marshals

    A childhood friend of my dad was a FDNY Fire Marshal back in the War Years. I'm not sure what borough he worked. He was a great guy and a close family friend I do remember my dad's friend carrying. He had a .38 snub he carried in a waistband holster. He would often leave it on top of our...
