Sorry Brother, you are mistaken...............Most important position in the engine is the Chauffer......................Without any WATER, the Control Man's job is USELESS!

It's B.S...............What do the city residents pay their taxes for...........and when does the "Taxing" end?????????????? Bloomberg should never have been allowed to buy his 3rd term..............

I've been a registered Republican for almost 16 years, and a NYC fireman for about 10 years...........................The Republicans have DISGUSTED me with their actions regarding the Zadroga Bill............I've personally been down to Washington D.C. TWICE, and up to Boston 2 weeks ago, with fellow 9-11 workers and survivors lobbying the politicians who were on the fence about voting YES on this Bill.................One Republican i'm particularly PISSED OFF at is Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown...............I have ALOT of friends on the job up in Massachusetts, and Scott Brown was basically put into office by the firemen and cops of Mass.................That was one reasons why we had a press conference up in Boston 2 weeks ago.....................Just goes to show you.........NONE OF THESE POLITICIANS ARE ANY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's Frank Cruthers' pension have to do with anything???? Do you work for the NY Post? That man worked for the city of NY for 43 years........Although his management style may not have been liked by all, the man deserves EVERY PENNY of that pension!!!!!! He WORKED for it and EARNED it!!!!

Another book that was written about this fire is titled "The Fire that Will Not Die", by Michele McBride.............One of the survivors. The book is available on Amazon.

"Bashing" in the sense of them publishing non-stories to gain public sentiment AGAINST the firefighters..............Just like the NY Post's agenda against the FDNY!

Sounds to me like another attempt at "Fireman bashing" by the Orange County Register.

Man, you just can't let this go can you...................It's obviously not "Nuff Said", cause you want to keep this going! Listen, you can have 100 of your buddies ANALYZE my post, hell, send it down to NSA and have them analyze it while your at it. I could really care less at this point about how you perceived the "Context" of my post! I wasn't bashing volly's in general...............Just one.................. Let me guess..........YOU'RE the chief in question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think YOU need to grow some thicker skin! NUFF SAID!

Actually, if you go back and read my post, I wasn't bashing the volly's at all.............I was bashing the "Volly Chief" who used some extremely poor judgement................Sorry if the word "Volly" offends you!

You gotta be real idiot to put those on your own car..........Let alone the volly chief vehicle.............Throw him out of the volly company, just for being an idiot!!!!! I'm sure they have more "Qualified" people to take over the chief's position!

Did a quick search and Piney Flats appears to be in Tennessee. This TL also appears to be a former FDNY rig, judging how the cab is squared off at the back.

I haven't seen or heard of those guys since a good samaritan notified the Marshals..........................

As much as I think they did a great job when they were around, I really think that it's a lost cause now.............Case closed!

Welcome to the FDNY where you're Guilty until proven INNOCENT!

That SKELL is lucky that he only has some bumps and bruises.............If I caught him stealing MY helmet off the rig, he'd be on life support, cameras or not......I'll deal with the consequences later!...............Him and his friend should just take that beating and be a little more humble instead of being pissed off that he got caught.............. Douchebags committing....................DOUCHBAGGERY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was thinking the same thing, while this guy had brass ones, the others ran out and didn't come back, even after he subdued her...............

I'm guessing it's a sarcastic reference to the movie "Christmas Story"...............

As per our Union President Steve Cassidy..................Firehouse closings are gonna be almost definite this year..........Close enough companies, and there's your 300 guys, dispersed amongst the remaining firehouses. In addition to the lawsuit against the city by the jerkoff Vulcans...............It's gonna be a long time till they put a proby class in............I really feel for the guys from list 6019! I just hope that they all remember WHO delayed or prevented their hiring if and when they ever get on the job!!!!!

Happy Birthday Joe! From a long time fan of your work! Marc D. 46 Engine F.D.N.Y.

Caught about 3 minutes of this show the other night when I was in the firehouse. We all agreed it was GARBAGE!!! Besides, it reminds me of my P.O.S. Brother in law who operates a few of these "Chaser Trucks" in The Bronx............... :angry:

Just wanted to extend a very large THANK YOU to the Yonkers Fire and Police Departments! Today, we had the funeral of active duty NYC Fireman Rory O'Flaherty of Ladder 34. Rory died unexpectedly from a medical condition while off duty. The funeral was held at St. John the Baptist church on Yonkers Ave. in Yonkers. The Yonkers Fire and Police Departments both did a FANTASTIC job with the aerial ladders holding the flag over Yonkers Ave, with all the companies showing up with the rigs, and with their off-duty members showing up in Class A's. Yonkers PD did a great job with the Motorcycle escort and traffic control! You guys are a Class Act! Thank You!

Rest in Peace Marine! Thank you for your service and sacrifice!

After listening to that dumb b**** for 14 minutes, I want to walk up to her and smack her in the face!

I worked with the nephew of Proby Daniel Rey in my firehouse. He just got out 2 years ago on a line of duty injury pension. Never Forgotten! Rest in Peace Men!

A very good friend of mine is a Lt. on the job in Lowell, Mass. I called him up yesterday to see if he made this job and it turns out that he's one of the guys on that fire escape. He's a little beat up physically and mentally over not being able to get the guy out of the window. His company was assigned as the RIT Engine, and was put to work by their Deputy. He said they broke their asses, literally trying to get that victim out of the room before they had to retreat due to the fire burning through the bedroom door, and it getting really Shi##y in the room. He said the victim was around 300 lbs and already in respiratory arrest when they got to him. His driver is the one in the video hanging in the window with fire blowing out it, and trying to grab the victims arms. These guys were faced with a pretty heavy fire condition, and in my opinion did a fantastic job!!!! He also mentioned that the jumper doesn't look like he's gonna make it either.
