Cos Cob 215

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

Thanks Peter for the kind words....I understand what you and Alan are getting at....still I will rest when at least the official IAFF total is 344....try to see it from my point of view.....FDNY can do as it pleases but the IAFF is supposed to represent all members...

NICE!!!    Remember Keith Roma NYFP 120......  the forgotten #344

I think it is because it is a different bargaining unit.  I would imagine the contacts are 2 different to make a merger as easy as say: Metro North PD, LIRR PD and Staten Island Railway PD of years ago.

I think it is the "LIVE" that is new here.

Grumpyff ... I hear you loud and clear. I went with a group of armed feds escorting an internation law enforecement official. We left when it was suggested we hide firearms in our vehicles. We complained to management. Apparently they werent as happy to see our kind 10years later.

Wow, lots of questions to be researched. Going back about 20 years into history, there have been several designations for the various pieces housed at Central. Engines 1,8 (formerly 22 in Cos Cob),11,12, and now 31 come to mind. Ladders 1 and 10 (Seagrave that moved to Cos Cob while ALF was inservice as Ladder 5 in Sound Beach) as well as Platform 1 and Tower 1. Hazmat 1, Squad 1, Patrol 1, and various staff and fire marshal vehicles along with Car 5, now Car 3 for the shift LT now Deputy Chief. So now in addition to completely confusing everyone, I have managed to steer this thread way off course. Back on target: the guys have either started the academy or will do so soon! Best of luck and we will see you in a few months on the floor!

Hub, I caught another update: Round Hill Patrol-6 (1964 Dodge Powerwagon?) ... went out of service when the new Squad-6 joined the fleet. I think the old Engine 62 (Engine 63) is still around as well.
I think the Rescue 3 refered to above is the Prime Mover for the Decon trailer, hazmat, etc.

Before any other updates just wanted to say I have known Jeff since ... a long time, like middle school. Great guy, took his FFI and FFII with my brother Brian at Fairfield Regional.
Just a few updates that I noticed: Central is still combo, Amogerone does run Squad-1 (fresh air truck) and it has been between Central and Byram fire stations over the last few years. Vol. Hose and Chem. is also still active, but they don't have there own truck, most of the time they ride out with Cos Cob rigs. Greenwich Fire Police is the inactive company. Most of their calls are split between Cos Cob Fire Police Patrol and Glenville Fire Police. They had a truck, Patrol-1, but it was sold when their last members went inactive.
As for Cos Cob: I noticed Marine 2, probably referencing the Fire Company's Boat, but we also have a boat but for use in much smaller bodies of water. Having said that, I am looking for the pictures of the Patrol's boat out at Island beach! The new Tanker should be in service soon too. Perhaps HubEng21 has those details.
