Well guys after 43 years as a Port Chester Firefighter [ 18 years very active volunteer working at DPW then getting the dream job getting paid to do what I love to do this is my last day. It didn't end the way I wanted it too but away I go . I was fortunate to catch the war years when we went out every day for a job worked side by side with many dept.'s and made a lot of life long friends on mutual aid. I saw a lot of death and sorrow [ Gulliver's 24 DOA Stouffer's 26 DOA 9/11 world trade center ] and saved a few along the way but my greatest call was closing a large window [ life savers building ] for a 84 year old lady who was freezing because her window was open and she needed help. The next day she baked a apple pie for me and my partner. So I say good bye to it all and hope that I left a small mark somewhere. To my 2 sons that are following or trying to follow in my foot step's keep up the good work in this most rewarding profession . Good luck to the guy's that are left on my job and hope that thing's get better for you and the people we were sworn to protect. Angelo Sposta [ Retired Local #1971 ]

Airport 7 was first given to Port Chester as we are first due to the airport but with no place to kept it it was turned down . Then we said that we will man it if it was kept at the airport but they wanted it gone. Then off to the Vern then 4 months ago it was cut up for scrap

Thank you all, stay safe go home or the firehouse after every call watch your back always.

Best it ever looked !

Why was it in Detroit, did it get new roll up door's ?

Wow, not good

The mayor in our case [ Port Chester ] is a 45 year member of the ladder company and knows about half of the rigs never get out the door. Sometimes better than others and sometimes not

Getting roll up doors maybe ??

Never a firefighter, he is in the Police Patrol company, you know coffee and traffic cones !

My father [ W-W 2 ] would throw you overboard if he saw you in a Coast Guard boat with Honda engines on it!

Who out there is buying E-ONE apparatus ? There #,s must be way down. I always new they were junk from the day they forced one on us, it only lasted 13 years before going to the junk yard. Anybody ?

The new E-one

Can you say only one bidder ? that's not a legal bid, not even close,

No longer a brownout, It's now a complete blackout

Engine 58 moves out of HQ to cover the loss of engine 59, no manned engine at hq after 1900 hr till 0700

Port Chester never hired. They shafted the 4 that went all the way only to be told F you 3 days before the class started Engine 59 shut down no men and no rig .

Yes but they do it for free
