Hard to believe kevin shea was still alive after he was injury/ fall at the first tower bombing glad he healed up n was able to finish was career hoping hes enjoying retirement
This quarters where Rescue 1 is now originally quartered Engine Co 2 of the NYFD before it was fully the FDNY, Engine 2 was organized in 1893 just 7 years after the very first Mercedes Benz automobile was created, now KEVIN Shea had dugout my grand uncle Sam Leon from his car involved in a serious accident in Upper Manhattan on the Deegan, this was south Yankee Stadium, and south of 149th Street and the Grand Concourse, Rescues 1&3 were dispatched to this accident, also my grand uncle Tom McTigue is a retired firefighter from the FDNY, his final years in the FDNY was in Rescue 3 and he was in the FDNY for 20 years, my friend Sean Doddy’s father is now in Rescue 3 with another friend that was on my track team her dad was in Rescue 3, also Al Ronaldson was in Rescue 3 for more than 5 years, I’m a former volunteer with Engine 10, Engine 96, and Rescue 3 I helped out these companies for a long time and then when I finished volunteering with the FDNY I decided to move on to the automotive industry and here I am now as a certified ASE Automobile Technician mechanic.
It pains me to think some of these guys have passed on. I worked in a traditional Fire Dept but slow call volume. Even at that I have trouble walking. Best job in the world.. Retired
I was 15-16 when I came across Dennis Smith's book, Report from engine company 82 while attending high school in St. Paul, MN. That was all it took for me. I turned 18 in 1989 and started the testing process before I was even out of high school by lying to my parents as to where I was going when I flew from Minnesota to New York a couple of times. I moved to NY that summer not a week out of high school. I hired out the very next year.
to bad the old man wanted to make a difference between paid and volunteer FF. i respect the FDNY, however i do not care for his comments. i serve 22 years as a volunteer FF. fire does not know the difference. he can go to hell for i care, if that's the way he feels.
@vagosmistral translation............. GREAT VIDEOS! I HAD THE PLEASURE TO BE IN THE LONG ISLAND FDNY IN QUEENS REALLY SHOULD HAVE ALL TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT. JUST LIKE THAT IN COUNTRIES ARGENTINA VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS DREAMS ARE FRUSTRATED WITH THANKS TO THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR PEOPLE AND GOVERNMENT.
Dennis Ellis Cousin of FDNY guys from this time period. It was the station pants at the time. Until the turn of the century, FDNY didn't wear bunker pants, just tall boots and long coats
I hired out in 1990, I remember those days well. A pair of blue jeans with maybe a ratty FDNY work shirt in the summer, and those pull over sweat shirts with the FDNY patch on one shoulder, maybe the company patch on the other which we would wear in the winter.
@firemanmike218 - it has to be a different Kevin Shea. The Kevin Shea of Ladder 35 who was severely injured on 9/11 was 34 years old at the time. That would make him 24 years old when this series was filmed. That would make him 14 years old when the 10 year old son in the video was born. The math isn't right.
Actually there was only one Kevin Shea in the FDNY, and no he was not in Ladder 35, Kevin Shea was in Rescue 1 until 1993 when he was injured in the WTC garage fall, Shea did not respond on 9/11 Kevin Shea was 34 years old in 1993, he was 32 years old in 1991, Kevin was born in 1959 and his son was born in 1981, Kevin Shea joined the volunteer fire department in 1978 and became a fireman later on in 1978
You just can't beat the looks of those old school Mack fire trucks. Some of the best looking vehicles ever.
I agree We do have the baddest Fire Trucks And the Best Firefighters in the World And I just don't say that Because I'm from Brooklyn New York 🤣👌

WE MISS YOU PADDY BROWN RIP!
Patrick O'Keefe is listed among the 9/11 fatalities from Rescue 1. So far that is the only name I have found in the list of fireman fatalities.
John Moran from Rescue 1 also died on 9/11.
Edward Hara Kevin Shea was injured in the first WTC bombing.
Pat brown was the captain of 3 truck he also was on the list
emt5330 My dad told me that Kevin taught him and other firefighters some rescue tips for Urban Search and Rescue. Pretty cool to hear it.
Warren didn't get to finish his cigarette and his pizza. Mission failed.
Hard to believe kevin shea was still alive after he was injury/ fall at the first tower bombing glad he healed up n was able to finish was career hoping hes enjoying retirement
some of the toughest men. I wish i had a set of balls like that.
America was sooooo wholesome
Great to see Paddy Brown 👍.

My home's bravest! I love them so much.
Good stuff! Thanks for posting this!
Fdny, best of the best.
Retired fdny firefighter Paul Hashagan is seen between 5:36 - 5:43
I'm 16 and I'm still still saying I want to be a firefighter
I was 15-16 when I came across Dennis Smith's book, Report from engine company 82 while attending high school in St. Paul, MN. That was all it took for me. I turned 18 in 1989 and started the testing process before I was even out of high school by lying to my parents as to where I was going when I flew from Minnesota to New York a couple of times.

What are you doing now?
@R1SmokeEater very interesting, Thank you!

PPE? What PPE! They use their Scott packs as props 🇺🇸
nice Job

to bad the old man wanted to make a difference between paid and volunteer FF. i respect the FDNY, however i do not care for his comments. i serve 22 years as a volunteer FF. fire does not know the difference. he can go to hell for i care, if that's the way he feels.
What are you talking about??
@@danski6694 eat me
the old man referred to his son as a volunteer ff. there is no difference between being a volunteer or paid. its a insult.
“Nice slice and a cigarette”
Some guys are just built different
Wonder if that was Kevin Shea early on.
@1stresponder1 back in 1991, this is what FDNY wore, no bunker pants (till 95ish) Hip boots w/ FR pants.
Yes, it wasn't until 1995 when the full bunkers started to slowly be phased in.
6:25 is that Foam on the ground where the firefighter carrying the ladder steps? Did they use foam back then?
Foam has been around since the 50s
God damn, no scbas and if you had one it was just used when you needed to catch your breath then back at it again. God their lungs had to hurt.
@ 3:35 who’s truck is parked in front of the hydrant!
God bless paddy brown
How is there a basement of the firehouse if it’s a garage
2:20 is that Engine 58 from Harlem with the bumper intake?
That sure was, Rescue 5 was also there with Rescue 2, Rescue 3, and Rescue 4
How can the firehouse have a basement? You can’t put a basement above a garage right?
@vagosmistral translation............. GREAT VIDEOS!
I HAD THE PLEASURE TO BE IN THE LONG ISLAND FDNY IN QUEENS REALLY SHOULD HAVE ALL TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT. JUST LIKE THAT IN COUNTRIES ARGENTINA VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS DREAMS ARE FRUSTRATED WITH THANKS TO THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR PEOPLE AND GOVERNMENT.
@fireguye4 haha nobody would dare mess with them.
@knightsaber67 Not in "those" days!
Sad
Seems like they weren't in such a good shape when they were eating pizza and smoking...naa just joking, everybody needs a time out:D
was the firefighter at 5:33 wearing jeans. and if so, was it because of a lack of equiptment or something else?
Dennis Ellis Cousin of FDNY guys from this time period. It was the station pants at the time. Until the turn of the century, FDNY didn't wear bunker pants, just tall boots and long coats

4th Line All Star Bunker pants were issued around 1993/1994

It is. Same name, different person.
