It is unfortunate that some are not "officially" remembered, but like Alan I don't believe that's because there's a concerted effort to omit them. Some may have been overlooked but the thing is they can really only be forgotten if we let them be, so let us promise ourselves that we will not let that happen. Of course the 343 hold a well deserved special place for us as firefighters and we should honor their sacrifice and their heroism until the day we die. But so too must we honor the other 2653 who perished along with them that day. All had their lives cut short for no other reason than they were at the WTC or the Pentagon or on flight 93 that fateful day. Every one of the 2996 people who were murdered on 9/11 had a family and friends and colleagues who were left with a huge unfillable void in their lives by these senseless deaths. Each and every one of those people deserves to be remembered not just as a statistic, but as a person with hopes and dreams and a destiny left unfulfilled. Kieth Roma is one of them and if he cannot be "officially" recognized so be it, but he and all of the victims can be remembered by each of us here. Whether we do it in public or in private, as long as we remember those lost they will all continue to live on.
 
What we do now, how we remember, becomes more important with each passing year. There will come a day when no one alive was alive on Sept. 11, 2001, so how we remember the events and victims of 9/11 today will be all that future generations have...let us be sure to leave them with something worthy of the lives that were taken.
 
 
 
 
 

Thanks Alan for the change of heart...I agree with your post absolutely...even though the Patrol was not FDNY...It was on the recommendation of the Board of Fire Underwriters that a paid FD was needed....the Patrol pre-dates the FD by Many years...but that's all water under the bridge....life's too short to hold a grudge....Keith will always be "344".........Joe Krasko FPNY 1974-closing   

That Dawg’s Still got it Nice

She just got refurbed again last year. Here she is in her latest incarnation..sad to say after another 10 12- years, probably her last too

Definitely twin steer. 
 
I would venture a real good guess that the "shower" system is referring to underbody sprinklers and all around sprinklers to be able to drive over hot materials? 

 
Industrial rig at Merck in Darmstadt Germany. Merck is a German chemical  and pharmaceutical corporation 
    Year: 2006   Manufacturer: Mercedes-Benz   Country: Germany   Merck Darmstadt Mercedes Rosenbauer

2-27 TroTLF Mercedes-Benz 3535/Rosenbauer DA-EM 241 1993

One of two Industrial Engines. The nickname is Iguana Here's some basic info:

Chassis: MB 3535
Bodywork: Rosenbauer (the cab itself was modified by Eller GmbH)
Manufactured: 1993

Water tank: 4000 l
Foam tank: 4000 l
ABC dry powder: 3000 kg
CO2: 300 kg

Pump output: 6000 lpm @ 8 bar

The crew cab in the middle of the bodywork has 4 seats (facing backwards, with BA sets fitted into the backrests). One additional BA set is mounted in the driver's cab. The water tank (and presumably the foam tank as well) is situated behind the crew cab, above the rear axels. A hosereel is mounted in the pump locker, above the pump's control panel. The powder and CO2 tanks are installed above the two front axles. There are 4 hosereels behind the driver's cab, 2 for each agent, on both sides (the smaller one for CO2 and the larger one for powder). There are two roof monitors. The vehicle is also fitted with a 'shower' system (decontamination purposes? the German description didn't say what it is for exactly!).

SFD has 5 fully staffed firehouses in what had been the Stamford Fire District (basically from LI Sound north to Bulls Head and Greenwich to Darien West to East). These stations house U-4 (on duty Deputy i.e. Shift Commander) Engines 1,2,3,4 & 5,  Trucks 1 (TL), 2 & 3(Ladders)  and Rescue 1. Each unit is staffed with four. Additionally SFD has Engine 6 in Glenbrook, Engine 7 in Springdale and Engines 8 & 9 in Turn of River (1 in each TRFD station) also staffed by four.
 
As for the VFDs, the resources excluding personnel  are as follows
Glenbook  -2 Engines, 1 Ladder 1 support unit
Belltown - 2 Engines, 1 Tower Ladder, 1 medium duty Rescue
Springdale - 2 Engines, 1 Suppprt unit
TRFD - 2 Engines, 1 Ladder, 1 Rescue, 1 Tanker
Long Ridge - 2 Engines, 1 Pumper/Tanker, 1 light duty Rescue. 1 Tanker (2 career personnel on duty 24/7, FM on duty M-F 8-4)
 
As far as responses go, to the best of my recollection the City is dispatched to ALL calls citywide with an Engine (or other unit if no Engine is available) dispatched to life threatening medical calls and a full box assignment for fire calls (which I believe is 3E's, 1T &1R with a 4th E dispatched with traffic, upgraded to code 3 response as FAST if confirmed WF) 
 
For calls in the VFD districts that VFD will also be dispatched. VFD responses vary from nonexistant to 100% which is why SFD is dispatched to all calls. 
 
Hope this is what you were looking for
Merry Christmas

Because ISO isn't about firefighting ability or even capability, it's about meeting textbook benchmarks and checking the box. I've seen a good number of ISO Class 1 rated FDs burn buildings to the ground on a regular basis. But hey at least the residents benefit from the rating in their premiums.

And don't forget that Charleston (SC) FD was an ISO Class 1 Department under the leadership of Chief Rusty and at the time of the Super Sofa store fire.

Frankly a dues paying member not getting the recognition he deserves is pretty disgraceful in my book. Rest assured FP Roma is remembered by this fireman

Some pictures of the Englewood Cliffs 9/11 Monument in front of the fire house dedicated to all killed in the attacks that day including 1 resident of the town As side note Englewood Cliffs sent the tower Ladder over to the city as part of a task force cover assignment 

It is unfortunate that some are not "officially" remembered, but like Alan I don't believe that's because there's a concerted effort to omit them. Some may have been overlooked but the thing is they can really only be forgotten if we let them be, so let us promise ourselves that we will not let that happen. Of course the 343 hold a well deserved special place for us as firefighters and we should honor their sacrifice and their heroism until the day we die.

Each and every one of those people deserves to be remembered not just as a statistic, but as a person with hopes and dreams and a destiny left unfulfilled. Kieth Roma is one of them and if he cannot be "officially" recognized so be it, but he and all of the victims can be remembered by each of us here.
