Had the pleasure today to drop by the local Firehouse..

Great bunch of guys. Dammit, I should have gotten some names and maybe some stories ( can't find any stories on the internet-- well, I will have to go back as soon as the coming Polar Vortex passes. I hope get some names and stories then...)

I don't want to pester them or take up too much of their time of course...I see them out on the street all the time of course, as well as their Engine 76 Thawing Unit...they cover "Harlem to the Hudson" -- quite a chunk of this Island...


And a shot of me with the guys below ( thanks!) taken by the really tall FF on the far right (Hell, I should have asked him his name at least!)

Thanks once again for being so hospitable, guys! And for risking life and limb to keep this City safe!

There are links above to some of the historical photos but first here is a brief video Eng 76 pulling out:
