I love the support the New Haven guys have for their chief. I did a 3 man engine company training put on by one of the Battalion chiefs and it was a great day

Easy way to open up the shut lines is to crunch the front wing.

Never pop the top hinge first. Do the bottom one first then the door doesn't drop and make getting to the bottom hinge more difficult.
