I remember back in the early 1970’s I picked up a job application to become a firefighter at this fire house , it was much easier back then to get the job it was so simple back then , no computers no cellphones no internet no cable tv , I was a fresh healthy young guy now a old man
@@bostonceltics727 Yes... I saw the struggle of the First Responders in Congress to get adequate funding for cover the health care due to illness in digging for victims ... It break my heart really....
@snakes3425 That area of Da Bronx is still the same, with exception that E75/TL33/B19 got a new Firehouse close by (and old one was redone into a FDNY*EMS station)
Rick Comisky my Lieut. Ladder 19 1985-86 bring me back 35 yrs ago.Went on to be come a Batallion Chief. Charlie Roberto his Lieutenant and my hockey linemate on the Bronx ice team bring back wonderful nostolgia. Unfourtunately the job has Been pussified but is Still at the top of the food chain. The tradition continue in spite of all the political correctness
