Excellent job Men! Speedy recovery!

Great job! I see two other NYPD MOS in that crowd and wonder what they were also honored for?

This is a typical media NON-STORY........................Hire more FF's and the o.t. goes down, it's just that simple...............

And guys wonder why they get jammed up..............

NO............ANY Combo FD where there are IAFF members! And not to start a war here, but the DCFD members volunteering in those combo Departments are scabbing it also!

2 questions............ #1......Why was an FDNY officer driving another fire departments rig in another state........on a call????? And #2 Why was said FDNY officer even involved in a department where there are other UNION firemen????? Last time I checked, NYC UFA and UFOA members are barred from serving as vollies in Combo departments......... Maybe Stamfords Local should have a talk with this person.........

Is that the old Fairview Ahrens Fox ladder?

Yup...........Over on Firepics............Wrong board........Sorry..................Flame away.............

Where did my posts go???? There was no flaming................................Guess the 1st Amendment doesn't apply around here.................

Correct........take a look at the number of my posts..........I rarely post on things unless they involve me in some way. Have a safe New Year!

Then I guess you're correct.............Cause those are the 2 groups of people that this whole issue affects...............Along with YFD members.............

About a week before my son was born last summer, I was on my way home from work one morning. I was driving North on Central Ave. and started feeling extremely lightheaded, nauseous, and dizzy. By the time I parked my car in my parking spot I was blacking out. I barely made it into my door when I practically collapsed on the floor. My wife called 911 imediately and within (it seemed instantaneous) 2 minutes or so, the men from 14 Engine were in my apt. taking care of me.................Can't say the same for Empress........... And by the way, the Brothers from 14 Engine provided Excellent, Competent care! I can say that because I've also been doing this for a living for almost 12 years, in an Engine company that runs over 4,000 runs per year. You on the other hand seem to have an axe to grind with the YFD.................Do you live in Yonkers or do you work for Empress? If the answer is no for both, then keep quiet!

How many of you who have SOO much to say about what goes on in Yonkers actually live in Yonkers? I've been a Yonkers resident for almost 11 years, and I can say with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that I want that engine company down the street from me responding if I call! I have a wife and little boy at home and rest alot easier when i'm at work and know that if my wife has to god forbid call 911, that Engine company is going to be there very quick! I'm tired of some of these posts by people who don't have a dog in this fight! As a Yonkers resident, and an FDNY Union Delegate, I say I support you Local 628 Keep up the good fight!!!!

Saw that DOUCHE's interview on News 12 yesterday...............Wanted to vomit, with his smug face.................. Glad I didn't vote for him!

Maybe he's on the job in Yonkers,....................Just a thought................

You're confusing 2 different websites..............Mike Martinelli (Hackensack, NJ FD) still runs FDNYTrucks.com.................Mike Messar (Yonkers PD) used to run Onthejobny.com.

What happened to all the other apparatus photos that used to be in this thread?

Just curious as to where that thread went? Had alot of great pics and pics of old YFD rigs.........

Thanks Seth!

When I was a cop in the 4-8, I worked 4x12's...............One very busy friday night tour, my partner and I blew the engine on our RMP.....Went back to the house, got a spare that the 4-8 had...........within 45 minutes, we broke one of the leafsprings responding to an 85 forthwith.............Went back to the house again, and got our 3rd car of the tour (which was also a spare), and If I remember correctly, we broke that one also by the end of the tour...................... Desk Sgt. wasn't too happy with us..............

Probably sold the boots for a couple decks of Horse.............Typical Skell.......give him a dollar and he asks for 5........

Page 18, second row down.............2nd pic from the right of the Brothers from Squad 41....................2nd member from the right facing the camera is Pete McLaughlin........eventually became a member of R-4 and died LOD on Oct. 8, 1995. Rest in Peace Pete! And to M Ave.............I also had Tommy Grimshaw as an instructor in Probie school............What a gentleman............and I believe that he did retire a few years ago.

1985

Ahh, It is what it is..............No biggie

I'm a non-seafood eater............but if the men know i'm working, they will always buy me a chicken cutlet. And in the meantime, i'm still helping prepare the fish meal...........it's never been a problem..........and i'm not the only one who doesn't eat fish in the firehouse. The men are ALWAYS accomodating!!!!!
