On occasion if I had a question about how my landlord was handling fire safety I would visit them and ask my questions. They are definitely helpful and there's always someone around to assist me. Today I saw them on Third Avenue and was fascinated with what they were doing as there wasn't a fire involved. The nice Fireman said they were practicing. He said they practice so they will be ready when there is an emergency. I'm a huge fan of the FDNY as this city has many fire hazards. Can you imagine having a job where you put your life on the line every time you go to work. Or when you're called to come in to work unexpectedly. I thanked these Firemen today for their service. I suggest you do the same any chance you get.

There is a strong junior fireman program for teens to learn and become firemen - they have their own uniform and gear. We had a junior firemen offer our kids an opportunity to try in their firemen gear- it was a kid being kind to another kid. So they teach teens to save and care about their fellow neighbors. They also had food, a bounce house, opportunity to see their drones, K9 Leah (with her own playing card and stickers), trying out the water spray hose on street, and a live demonstration of firemen extricating a person when the car door doesn't/can't open. Shows the best in our firemen and inspiring for other to join a caring organization!

The emergency crew responded quickly . They promptly placed me in their emergency vehicle, stopped the bleeding from my wounds, verified my vitals and treated and bandaged my wounds. Throughout the event they provided the required care in a professional, knowledgeable and friendly caring way. They also helped the responding police officer to set up emergency tape to warn other penestrians of the danger created by the remnant of a sign post that had been left embedded in the sidewalk and over which i had tripped and fallen. My sincere thanks go out to the emergency crew members and police officer who helped me in this time of need.

130am indeed. The carbon monoxide alarm goes off. I was thinking if I ignored it, it would stop…read more maybe the battery was low. But, alas, no. 4 quick beeps and then a pause and 4 quick beeps again. Sigh. The back of the detector says to get to fresh air immediately and call 911. Unhappily, we don our winter garb and head outside. We decide to try to call 311 first, since our apartment is the only one going off. Alvin, my very nice 311 operator, informs me that we can try and open all the windows and wait outside and see if it continues to go off and then call 911, or we can just call and get it over with. We are sleepy and grumpy. This is going to take all night. But since it seems like we'll have to call anyway, Maritess convinces me to make the call. T-Mobile freakin dropped my call to 911 four times in a row. Really??!! You'll be hearing from me later today for sure. In less than 2 minutes, we hear the sirens. They've got to be for us. We wave at the truck as it pulls up. Speedy lets the head of the truck into our apartment and another truck pulls up. Holy moly. Now I start getting scared...2 trucks? For one carbon monoxide alarm? Maybe this is a little more serious than I thought. They all start piling into the apartment building as we stand outside, and my first thought is "My room is messy, this is why my mother always tells me to keep my room clean! Ahhhh!!" My second thought is, "Hot damn." I think Ladder 132 may be one of the best looking crews that I have seen. Sleepy and grumpy no more, for sure! I really hope they don't go in my room, it's definitely messy. And I really hope we don't have dirty dishes in the sink. They're gone in just a little bit, turns out we have a defective carbon monoxide detector. They recommend we contact the super for a new one, and bid us a good night. 5 stars for their rapid response time, had there really been something bad going on, they couldn't have gotten there any faster. 5 stars for the rugged good looks. 5 stars for figuring everything out super fast. 5 stars for being so darn hot. I'm sorry we had to drag you guys out, but I sure am glad you were there. Do you guys like muffins? Cos I sure wouldn't mind making them for you. I love the FDNY. LOVE. And if you don't, you have something seriously wrong with your head.

Not cause they lie or cheat or steal - but cause fire comes first for em. These fellas gots balls the size of the moon. While all ya'll (me included) are running OUT of a fire, they're going in. Manly men. They smell like musk. And break things. And know how to use a screwdriver. And put other people ahead of them. All the time. ::swoon:: thank your local fire department. For realz, especially the vollies. If you can bake, bring em cookies. If you can't, have your woman bake them cookies. If your woman can't bake...well...get a new one. And hug FDNY. And buy them a beer down in the meat packing district on St Paddies day. These boys can toss back brews better then me - hell, they taught me all I know about beers, yo.

The Department's main goal is to provide fire protection, emergency medical care, and other critical public safety services to residents and visitors in the five boroughs. The Department works to continually educate the public in fire, life safety and disaster preparedness, along with enforcing public safety codes. Since its inception in 1865, FDNY has helped lead efforts to make New York the safest big city in the nation. Unfortunately I see them hard at work all too often in my neighborhood. Fires are common when you have old residential buildings. Restaurant fires are all to common too. Along with the NYPD these men are risking their lives daily. I'm glad to support their efforts as much as I can and appreciate seeing them in my neighborhood. This Fire Station is a safe haven for anyone in trouble. They are always on duty.
