Turn Back The Clock Weekend

14 posts in this topic

Just read where "onthejobny.com" and "nycfire.net" are having a TURN BACK THE CLOCK WEEKEND, this upcoming Thanksgiving Weekend. By the sample teaser photo posted (see below), its going to be something really special. Just seeing the Old Yonkers Truck 4, brings back allot of memories (Did you know that besides the CIRCLE on the front grill facade of the Truck that has the Number 4 on it, that same circle (not shown) was also embossed on the actual Ladder, not too far from the controls). PLUS, they are indicating that they have a "Special Announcement" as well (Maybe some converted old 8mm or Super 8mm Film of some Classic Incidents back in the 1960's and 70's

Stay Tuned

Some of these old galleries show jobs on streets that don't even exist anymore. What we found real special is that we're already getting emails from people that found thier fathers and grandfathers in some of the photos and some of them have passed away some time ago.

Great photos Truck 4!!!

Where did the years go ???

Where exactly on Riverdale Avenue was that old firehouse torn down during 1970's urban renewal???

Since a smoke stack shows in the right side backround, I am guessing it was located on Riverdale Avenue where Shop Rite now stands??? Or just below Prospect Street where the Riverview monstrosity buildings stand???

Thanks again for the nostalgia and I would like to see some old YPD radio cars if possible.

Absolutely awesome job done by Michael, Joe and the rest of the OnTheJobNY.com and NYCFire.net gang. Those Classic Yonkers FD Shots were great (They don't make rigs like the old Mack C Engine 1 and ALF Midmount Truck 1 (White Cab). They were "Built to Last" . Any change that we might see some "Classic Photos from New Rochelle, Mount Vernon and White Plains sometime in the near future?
