Thanks for sharing. Interesting to see those old Wards and ALFs

God I have to be getting old I remember that fire coming in on mutual aid--relieving the Fairview brothers on the fire floor so they could get some needed rest. I remember them taking a short break and coming back in to finish the job.

Excellent photos.... FYI-August 23 was a Monday, not a Sunday in 1982. If it was a Sunday, it would have to be August 22.

How do I know you ask?

Well, September and December have the same days of the week. December 19, 1982 was a Sunday (when Phil Collins played at Perkins Place). Working backwards, September 19 was also a Sunday. Continuing to work backwards, September 5 was the first Sunday, then September 1 was a Wednesday, August 29 was a Sunday, and August 22 was also a Sunday!

That's how I know! Excellent photos though, vintage rigs and the like! And the vintage Greenburgh Car 69!

Cool!

wow, guess i cant tell my old man to be quiet anymore when he tells war stories, since i can actually see him in a picture at one of these so called fires, my pop bobby efferen, in 5th shot down, elmsford guy holding the ground ladder.

Looks like a hairy job with some good aerial and ground ladder work saved a lot of lives. Unfortunatly the short staffing and long hose stretches allows those fires to get such headway and auto expose. Just look at Hooboken last night.
