Nice going, makes me proud to be the son of a former NYPD Det. Sgt. and a member of the FDNY.

Good luck, welcome to the fun, now GET IN THE SINK, PROBIES!!!!

Is it just me, or does it seem like something is missing if there isn't a siren or oscillating light on the grill of the CF???

I'm all for it. Like I have said numerous times, you only hear about us when something bad happens (errors etc.), and I will gladly throw in who had the tour etc. if I can. In the Fire Bell Club newsletter at one time, they used to put in a specific major incident and who was running the tour at the time.

RIP Kid...

I think it means Cab Forward and your assumption is wrong. E-138 is a Mack CF.

Not good. Definitely in my thoughts. I'm trying to remember where Huestis Field is, but there are definitely a lot of curves on the road you gotta watch out for.

I believe the word frivolous comes to mind here. And Mierda as well.

God Bless and Semper Fi.

You can't lay this on the 11th. Crash alarms at an airport get a significant response. Granted JFK and LGA are apples and oranges compared to WCA, but we still turn out a full 2nd Alarm assignment with a host of special units on top of it. And that isn't even for a confirmed incident. This policy was in force long before the 11th. I think it would be safe to say that the response policy to WCA is comparable for an airport that size. The tiered response I can also presume is so no one department gets stripped of resources right off the bat, along with the airport bordering a number of departments. As always, better to have and not need than need and not have.

I don't think it will. This isn't LA.

There was one in Virginia in 1987, where the smoke reached up here. I remember it being very warm and cloudy that day. It was sometime in either November or December of 1987.

Just had the same problems I had earlier.

Let me see what shakes out and I just might be there.

Are those lights supposed to be blue?? Or, is that just a mock up??

Couldn't get in numerous times over the course of the night last night. It might be the comouter here at work. I did get a "This page does not exist" at home a couple of times, and then went back and it worked ok.

Looking forward to the next album. One of the few bands that has come around in the past ten years that I can actually say I enjoy listening to.

It was the first I ever saw, and the only one I have ever been in.

Now that's sweet!!!

A lot of those shots look familiar, considering I have spent the better part of two months going in and out of that hospital. Funny I haven't run into Chris yet. As far as spares are concerned, it's ridiculous. Tower Ladders driving Rear Mounts because there are no TL spares, and I don't think the department wants to get into the refurb business. Would probably be a good move. PS nice shots.

10-6=Standby(Which constantly gets mixed up with 10-5 out in the street) 10-3 Call the Dispatcher by phone.

I've been doing circuit training with weights, 20 pound dumbells. Squats, lunges, presses, curls. I have also been doing a lot of weight training to build up strength. I have been hitting the stepper, without the vests, and building up my length of time on the stepper. My next step is running, and a lot of it. If anyone is on the FDNY list, the CPAT testing starts in April with the time trials. Good luck.

I think we may see a few hot spots, for lack of a better term. But, I don't see it getting to the point that it did back then. Not enough to burn, etc.

Sounds like this fella is in some need of anger management.

I'm actually not very involved with it. I believe it was legislative, as opposed to contractual.
