  1. Both. He's able to carry bottles in this also while out on road,without having to get the big truck.
  2. Exactly. What a shame they let our 88-year old FH fall apart. It was built to last, but......you have to maintain it!
  3. I heard since Ferrara was trying to crank out FDNYs rearmounts, they pushed us back in line.
  4. It has something to do with fitting the largest motor in the truck. The TL cab is wider to accommodate the biggest motor in it.
  5. Yup, fatal accident under the thruway overpass of CPA.
  6. We did not have the Foam Unit then (pic is from around 1995). All the foam cans used off the rigs, then FDNY was called in for foam. Our Master Stream Foam equipment was purchased after this incident, and used about a week later on the gasoline tanker crash/fire on CPA by Thruway.
  7. Yes. Looked like that when we pulled up, this is the first minutes. The building has been vacant since a job in 2008 in it.
  8. The ALF not for snow? Why?
  9. It's a second piece assigned to MSU. (Ex-Safety Battalion rig). The bigger truck still responds to the jobs.
  10. Elliot & Post
  11. It's the yellow one on the right. L-73.
  12. This job happened as another multiple alarm was going on in the city. Companies not usually due on that box became first due. I recall DC Ed Dunn made a grab of a little girl from an apt. Lt. EK (Good boss! My first Lt.) and FF CO with the woman, in window is JP, now Capt. Of R-1.
  13. This looks like 58 Caryl around 1989. JT on the Ladderpipe.
  14. Sorry, no...was reply to 61macks post.
  15. 3-Engine was going on a run when it occurred. The guys jumped out and starting extinguishing it. Shop said its repairable. We are not in as great shape as you think with apparatus or spares.
  16. The rig is R-3's 1971 Mack/Providence rescue. The next one was the 1979 Mack/Pierce.
  17. Prior Station-8.
  18. RIP, Prayers to his Family and the PFD.
  19. Highly recommend Capital City Fire Helmets. Owner is a Hartford CT Fireman.....Great work! Link: https://www.facebook.com/CapitalCityFireHelmets http://www.capitalcityfirehelmets.com/
  20. I'm gonna chime in too. I always comment, on how the BeeLine drivers are the only drivers on the road that do what they are supposed to do for an emergency vehicle! They always put on their hazard lights, yield, and then stop for approaching Fire apparatus. A big Thank You to the drivers for that!The assignment to the bus into the deli was: E-312. TL-75. Battalion-2. Rescue-1. S/C E-314 W/Collapse rig (SQ-11 was out) S/C E-310 for additional manpower, shoring operations underway.
