FDNY bans colorful company names and logos

If this is the most important thing the FDNY brass has to worry about then things must be going swimingly in the big apple. Excellent way to destroy the unique character and morale of a great department al… Continue

Some nice work in Beantown!!!

So my good friend Brian (aka. Big Perm) got his first job on Monday. He got out of drill school back in August and was assigned to one of the busiest engine companies in the city (E-52) Unfortunatly he ran smack into a serious drought as far as fires are concerned. That came to an end when he rolled in fist due to a well involved triple deckah' (that's a 3 story house to all you non Bostonians) with children trapped. The lads were able to make two spectacular grabs. Very inpressive!!! There i

Dont worry Rudy...we won't forget!

Many people consider Rudy Giuliani “America’s Mayor,” and many fire fighters who don’t yet know the real story, may also have a positive view of him. All fire fighters should be aware of the egregious acts Mayor Giuliani committed against our fallen on 9/11

Blogging....

So I haven't been blogging very much. I thought I'd blog more often, but it seems that I either don't have the time to blog, or can't find anything to blog about. How often is a person supposed to blog anyway? Is there a limit? Are there blog monitors who watch over these things?

I know I promised to blog about something more constructive this time. Well, sue me, I blied, sorry. Perhaps next time will be the time.

It happens in the less well-off areas. A lot of unemployment, drugs and criminality in thse areas too. I can only assume that it's rebellion against society or a form of amusement to them. They don't seem to realise we are the same guys who come i...

Let's all hope that the firefighters waiting upside down to be rescued were having a good time of it and not screaming like a bunch of elementary grade schoolgirls.
