Hi Members. My friend and I are retired volunteer firemen. He was a Chief and I was a Hoseman. We are planning a trip to N.Y.C. late summer or early fall. We could really use all your help to make this trip as good as possible. I Please need your help answering the following questions. Your help will be very much appreciated. Thank you all and keep up the good work on the Best F.D.N.Y. Website in the World !!!
First. We already know to bring our State and Fire Department I.D.'s. And not to go any where without bearing gifts. We would like to go to the Borough that has the Busiest Battalion Chief. I have yet to look up the stats to see what Battalion this is.Unless someone on here can tell me.
Second. We would also like to visit the Borough Communications Office where this Battalion is in. Are we allowed to take pictures in the C.O. ? , is it best to visit in the morning or after lunch ? We won't be available for any evening visits. What time to the C.O.'s change shifts in the morning ? Is it better to visit on a weekend or a weekday ? Any particular do's and don'ts that we need to know ? Any particular C.O.'s that are retired volunteer Firemen friendly ? LOL !!! Is there any particular Dispatcher in any C.O. that we should ask for by name ? Should we call there first?
Third. Please reply here or to my personal email at firebox417@hotmail.com Thank you all very much. Regards, Big John
