Family friend was a fireman and toward the end the lieutenant for ladder 31 from 1969 or 1968 to 1984, he’s not doing too well so I’m gonna try and get his story before anything with him gets worse

I have 6 sets of these!!! I’m about to soak one set in cleaning solution to brighten the white.. look up the solution for cleaning white vintage toys… oxy clean and hydrogen peroxide

There will only ever be one Dennis Smith. Rest easy, sir. Even then The Bronx had notable fire characteristics.

RIP Dennis Smith…report from Engine Company 82 was a great read and I had Dennis autograph my copy of it when I met him when my ship was in dry dock in the Brooklyn Navy Yard many years ago I met Arbuckle Mcfatty too😀

RIP Dennis Smith. "Report from Engine Co 82" got me started on my career as a firefighter, which lasted for 38 years.

I wonder if one of those children playing became Fireman's🙄

Are you a firefighter bc I want to be on when I grow up

good job

Ken is a great guy, I’ve known the whole family for over 30 years. Stumbled upon this video to see if Ken has any Linux videos he might have made and posted, glad to have seen this.

That's the RTG not RTL. The RTL is being done by Rapido now.

that is an SNCF not Rohr

This is a pretty bad, one take video, that I did of my rescue/pumper just before St. Patrick's Day 2020. It wasn't going anywhere, so I did this. Another take with editing might have helped. Maybe next time. The song Men Of Erin, by The Elders, is played with fair and common use. I have no rights to the song. We are Americans and we will get through this together as Americans. Have a safe Easter and Passover. 🚒🇺🇸️

Now I understand why they call the mid-sixties to the end of the eighties: The War Years... You got to be brave and courageous to work in South Bronx...

The first part had Dennis Smith on the bagpipes. On top of being a firefighter/philosopher/writer, he was also a member of the Emerald Society pipes and drums in the 60's and 70's.

This is epic. I wouldn't even be a firefighter, more or less one in NYC, if it wasn't for me reading Dennis Smith's book, which I read while I was in high-school in 1987, two years later I flew out to NYC from my home city of St. Paul,MN and took the test.

25:07 what was his toast he gave? i cant make it out exactly

Steve, thanks. I sent contact info via eBay. I forget it was allowed because the question came from the EP2 auction. Honestly, they are getting a little out of hand and they monitor messages. Ugh.

cool! Very nice!

Very nice!!!!

I might add correct era music seems to be coming from the urban area.

great video

is 82 the nut house or animal house

how many guys were assigned to each company back then?

Sorry, breathing not bearing. Auto correct again!

Without wearing bearing apparatus many of these guys suffered from poor health in later years. That smoke is not good

Thank goodness for fire sprinklers and better fire codes.

"H" apts. The apt in the "throat" is the death apt. hard to get tower ladders positioned there.

Bags of gas, The Sting Bar Youngstown, OH same thing three FFs burned.

some things do get better

15:43 "Get up! 82 truck and the chief. Everybody go. Get up!"

The image stabilization filter is the WORST thing that ever happened to UA-cam! This was probably a VHS or Betamax copy of a 16MM TV print but watching software try to steady things like fire trucks moving or the title over a moving background is so distracting! Otherwise great film and thank you for uploading.

job security

RTG; not Rohr!

I meet eddie m in 1977durring the blackout was the nicest person the last time I saw him was in 2000 I was sad to read he passed rip eddie you will never be forgotten by me and my family

Why didn't NYC just bulldoze and get rid of these abandoned buildings?

i couldnt believe my ears when they said people would cut holes in the floor so firemen woulf fall through and rig up piano wire, or fill water ballons with gasoline in fires...that is just a sick twisted thing to do

Those were old school hard core firemen no scba's, masks or anything lol

So much to see at the big house, la casa grande. I was on the job in Westchester, 1965-1985. A few of the guys from my department would go to the quarters of 82/31, and I would stand in awe, watching these men do their job.

he is an inspiration . to do what they do with flawed equipment makes it . even more incredible .

Thanks for the comment and thanks Brian for posting the video. Thats my uncle...he absolutely loved his job and was a proud fireman.

It's freakin amazing.These guys bust their asses and put their lives on the line daily and yet they get shit pay,shit hours and on top of that they have to pay out of their own pockets for food and drinks.I would think that would be a perk food.But when they have budget issues who is the first to get laid off.The Fireman.Also they close houses and transfer calls blocks away but yet response time is better.Can't figure that one out.
