Not to sound snotty, but wouldn't that be a "removal" and not an "extrication?"

From 1859 until 1896, the City was all volunteer. There were 19 Volunteer Fire Co.'s in Yonkers at the height of the YVFD. I'll post them when I get a chance. In 1896, six men were hired to "maintain a perpetual watch for fires" and "to keep horses and apparatus ready to go to a fire" from the firehouse at 18 Palisade Ave.

They filmed at HQ for about a week last fall using the volunteer rigs from Staten Island. Check out the posts under General Discussion about it.

Thanks for the date, I'll add it to my list! I also read about the horse drawn muster at the Maryland Fire Museum in honor of the Ann. of the Great Baltimore Fire. If only I had weekends off. Who's Drowning Pool's new lead singer?

I havent been. I've heard a lot about it. I always end up moving around my schedule to fit in the West Paterson show and end up missing the NJMFP night. Buffy- Are you talking about Croton? I'm also looking for the date of the North Bellmore, LI show if anyone has it.
