HappyLand Social Club Fire

FFFRED,

Do you agree that I am a cheater?

Correct with the information?

Or a little of both?

[Dave1983]

I recall watching the live news reports from the Bevely Hills Super Club Fire, as I was living in Ohio at the time. Another one for "the books".

I agree...How many would have remembered Engine Co. 72 was organized in Manhattan and not in Throgs Neck the Bronx?

I thought the ticket for Southern Blvd would be E45 88 46 L58 38 R3 Bn 18

I'm not an FDNY Dispatcher, but I slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Hows this sound???

""Three One Nine Six is the telephone alarm for Valentine Avenue and One Eight Three Street reporting a fire on the fourth floor of the reported address XXXX Valentine Avenue..........Three Quarters from quarters.....Calling Thirty Three Truck, Kay....You got the run?"

Calling Batallion One-Nine, bunch of calls, three, two, the rescue and the squad coming in, K...."

"Throgs Neck" I thought us Brits had cornered the market on weird and unusual place names. Obviously not--is it a corruption of Frogs Neck?

At least it is short-have a butchers at where I am living. "Wh"is pronounced as "Ph" in Phone

Ya sound just like Da Beef, Tree Tree oh K.

Ok, gang, more stuff for the Buffs . Two of the companies at the Triangle Shirtwaist fire had motorized apparatus rather than horse drawn rigs.

What companies were they?

I have been told this, and that my voice (on the radio) sounds very much like Bronx Two Two Two.....Who I got to meet at Brooklyn One Two Oh's retirement party.......So many on-the-air legends in one place at one time....An FDNY Radio Buffs dream.....LOL

At the Triangel, was the Fire Patrol on 4th(?) Street.
