I WAS GOING TO LIST THE ART GALLERYS , LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS THAT OUR
UNITS GUYS WENT TO BUT THE LIST WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO LONG
THERE WAS A PERIOD OF TIME THAT THE PRICE OF MEAT WAS SO HIGH THAT WE
HEARD THAT SOME COOKS WOULD BUY HORSE
MEAT AT EASTERN MARKET. THE STORY WAS THAT THEY JUST BOUGHT THE
TENDERLOIN AND ASKED THE GUYS IF THEY WANTED TO TRY IT. THIS STORY IS
SECOND HAND AS WE JUST HEARD
ABOUT IT SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS TRUE OR NOT
DO YOU
"CRINGE" WHEN YOU SEE YOUR
WIFE THROW OUT 5 BEANS, I CARROT, 1/4 OF AN ONION
A OLD STALK OF CELERY AND OTHER LEFTOVERS. DON'T OUR

WE ATE A MEAL..............THEN ATE LEFTOVERS FROM THE
MEAL..............THEN MADE SOUP FROM THE LEFTOVERS FROM THE MEAL.........THEN
FROZE WHAT WAS LEFT FROM THAT FOR THE " OFU"........THOSE GUYS WOULD EAT
ANYTHING.
I TRIED TO EXPLAIN ALL THIS TO MY
WIFE.................SHE DIDN'T SAY A WORD, SHE JUST WALKED TO THE CUPBOARD AND
PUT TWO CANS IN FRONT OF ME,"
PROGRESSO"& "CAMPBELLS" .....SHE
THEN WENT SHOPPING.....................OH WELL...............
MAKE SOMEONE SMILE TODAY
WAYNE
DO YOU REMEMBER
HAVING TO MAKE THE CHIEF'S BED IF YOU WERE
HIS DRIVER
IF YOU RAN OR WAS DETAILED TO HEADQUARTERS WAY BACK
THEN YOU MAY REMEMBER THIS:
THE COOK WOULD GO UPSTAIRS TO THE VARIOUS
CHIEFS OFFICES AND CHECK TO SEE WHO WOULD BE IN
FOR CHOW. HE WOULD COLLECT THEIR MONEY AND PLAN ON
THEM EATING FOR ONE OR BOTH MEALS.
THE BAD PART BACK THEN WAS THE DECKIES HAD TO CARRY THE
CHIEFS MEALS ON TRAYS TO THE THIRD FLOOR... WELL,
YOU GUYS KNOW DARN WELL HOW THE DECKIES FELT ABOUT BEING
WAITERS IN BOTH DELIVERING THEIR MEALS
AND PICKING UP THEIR DIRTY DISHES.
HERE IS HOW THEY STOPPED THAT
PRACTICE.......................................................
THE RUMOR STARTED FLOATING AROUND THAT SOME OF THE DECKIES WOULD RUB CERTAIN
PARTS OF THEIR BODY ON THE PLATES AND/ OR SPIT IN THE FOOD. NOBODY BUT THE
DECKIES KNOW IF IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED OR WAS JUST A STORY TO STOP THE
PRACTICE. AFTER THAT THE VARIOUS CHIEFS ATE WITH
US AT THE BOSSES TABLE
DO YOU REMEMBER
HOW SOME BOSSES WOULD QUIZ THE YOUNGER GUYS ON HOW TO GET TO EVERY BOX
LOCATION IN THEIR DISTRICT BY THE MOST DIRECT ROUTE YOU LEARNED THE
IMPORTANCE OF SAVING SECONDS TO RESPOND TO A FIRE.
DO YOU REMEMBER
SOME GUYS TRYING TO CHANGE THEIR AGE WHEN THEY WERE APPROACHING 60.
FROM WHAT I CAN REMEMBER IT WENT SOMETHING LIKE THIS:
SOME MEN LIED ABOUT THEIR AGE TO SERVE IN WORLD WAR 11. ( EXAMPLE THEY MAY
HAVE BEEN ONLY 15 OR 16) THEN AFTER THE SERVICE THEY KEPT THEIR "NEW"
AGE WHEN THEY CAME ON THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. AS THEY APPROACHED 60 "WITH THEIR
NEW AGE" THEY TRIED TO REVERT TO THEIR CORRECT AGE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MEN WERE INVOLVED OR IF THEY GOT THEIR CORRECT AGE
BACK??????????????? ..................DO YOU KNOW???????????????
DO YOU REMEMBER
HAVING TO DO HOUSEWORK TILL NOON
MAKE SOMEONE SMILE TODAY
WAYNE
DO YOU REMEMBER
STOPPING AT THE GAS STATION TO PRESSURIZE THE WATER EXTINGUISHERS BEFORE
WE GOT AN AIR HOOKUP ON OUR ENGINES.
OR
BACK FILLING THE EXTINGUISHERS WHEN NO OPEN GAS
STATIONS COULD BE FOUND.
DO YOU REMEMBER HOW TO BACK FILL ONE.
HERE'S HOW..................YOU JAMMED THE
(EMPTY) EXTINGUISHER'S SHORT HOSE INTO THE FIREHOUSE GARDEN HOSE. YOU THEN
TURNED ON THE GARDEN HOSE . IT FILLED THE EXTINGUISHER WITH WATER AT THE SAME
TIME PRESSURIZING IT. IT YOU DIDN'T GET THE SAME PRESSURE OR AMOUNT OF WATER BUT
IT DID WORK.
DO YOU REMEMBER
WHAT HUNG FROM A PAPER CLIP ATTACHED TO THE SUN VISOR?????????????
0 RINGS
DO YOU REMEMBER
NOT LIKING KELLY 2 AS YOU HAD TO HAVE A WORK
RELIEF TO TIE IT IN TO YOUR FURLOUGH
ONLY BEING ALLOWED A CERTAIN NUMBER OF WORK RELIEFS
A QUARTER...........
I THINK IT WAS TWO...............CORRECT ME IF I'M
WRONG
IF YOU WERE SOMEBODY YOU GOT A KELLY CHANGE
IF YOU WERE NOBODY YOU NEVER GOT A KELLY CHANGE
BUT HAD TO GET A WORK RELIEF
DO YOU REMEMBER
THE EXPRESSION SAID OF SOME CHIEF'S "HE
CAN'T CHANGE YOUR KELLY"
DO YOU REMEMBER......................HEARING......................
"3 MINUTES ON THE PHONE"
"ONLY 3 MINUTES ON THE OUTSIDE PHONE"
DO YOU REMEMBER
ASKING THE BOSS FOR PERMISSION TO USE THE DEPARTMENT PHONE
DO YOU REMEMBER
ENGINE HOUSE LAWYERS
THESE WERE THE GUYS THAT KNEW ALL THE ANSWERS TO EVERYTHING. THE ONLY
PROBLEM WAS SOMETIMES THEY MADE THE SITUATION WORSE IF YOU FOLLOWED THEIR ADVICE
MAKE SOMEONE SMILE TODAY
WAYNE
DO YOU REMEMBER
THE NOISE THE OLD MSA SMOKE MASK MADE WHEN
YOU EXHALED. THINK BACK , THE AIR ENTERED FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CANISTER. IT
EXITED THROUGH THAT RUBBER FLAPPER ON THE FACE
PIECE.THAT FLAPPER WAS SORT OF LIKE THE KIDS TOY
THAT YOU BLEW THROUGH TO SOUND LIKE A FART.
THE HARDER YOU EXHALED THE LOUDER THE FART SOUND.
SOME GUYS SLIT THE BOTTOM OF THE RUBBER FLAP IN
HOPES IT WOULD MAKE IT EASIER TO BREATHE.
REMEMBER WE DID NOT HAVE OUR OWN FACE PIECE, THE FIRST THING WE DID WAS TO
WASH THE " OFU " GUYS GERMS FROM IT WHEN WE PUT OUR GEAR ON THE RIG
THE FACE PIECE HAD TWO EYE LENSES RATHER THEN THE ONE PIECE LENS THEY
HAVE NOW
DO YOU REMEMBER
THE MANY, MANY, MANY TIMES
THAT CARS WOULD NOT LET YOU PASS ON FIRE RUNS.
THE LAW IS CIVILIANS ARE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOP TO LET AN
EMERGENCY VEHICLE PASS.......CARS WOULD RACE YOU...............THEY WOULD PASS
YOU..................THEY WOULD SLOW IN FRONT OF YOU TO NOT LET YOU PASS
THEM.........
AND IN SOME INCIDENTS IT APPEARED THAT THEY WOULD TRY TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT
WITH YOU FOR A LAW SUIT...............YOU HAD TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL OUT THERE
DO YOU REMEMBER
THE MANY, MANY, MANY TIMES
THAT THERE WOULD BE A DWELLING TOTALLY INVOLVED IN FIRE, 3 ENGINES 1 TRUCK, 1
SQUAD AND THE CHIEFS CAR
COMPLETELY BLOCKING THE STREET. YOU WOULD LOOK DOWN THE STREET AND HERE
COMES SOME "BOZO" DRIVING TOWARDS YOU AS IF YOU
WERE GOING TO STOP ALL OPERATIONS SO HE COULD PASS. HE WOULD PULL UP TO YOU AND
STUPIDLY ASK" IS THERE A FIRE??
AFTER HE FOUND OUT WE WEREN'T JUST OUT THERE FOR A WEENIE ROAST RATHER THEN
BACK DOWN THE STREET HE WOULD DRIVE UP OVER THE CURB AND DRIVE DOWN THE BLOCK
ON A COMBINATION OF SIDEWALKS AND FRONT LAWNS.....
THIS HAPPENED MANY,MANY TIMES AS ALL OF YOU GUYS REMEMBER
MAKE SOMEONE SMILE TODAY
WAYNE
DO YOU REMEMBER
ON SATURDAY WHEN YOU WERE GOING TO TRIP THE SEWER, TO WARN EVERYBODY, YOU
YELLED "MANHOLE'S OPEN" UPON REMOVING THE
MANHOLE COVER. THEN OCCASIONALLY SOME GUY WOULD BE MOPPING WHILE WALKING
BACKWARDS AND FALL PARTIALLY IN THE MANHOLE
DO YOU REMEMBER
THE LOUD SNORERS AND THE GUYS THAT TALKED IN
THEIR SLEEP
THE CONSIDERATE ONES TOOK COT WATCH SO THEY WOULDN'T DISTURB THE GUYS.
THEN THERE WAS THE OTHERS. IF THE CHAMPION SNORER
WAS ON DUTY YOU TRIED TO GET IN BED BEFORE HIM IN HOPES OF BEING ASLEEP BEFORE
HE CAME UP.
IF YOU WEREN'T SLEEPING WHEN HE CAME UP YOUR NIGHT WAS SHOT. ZZZZZZZZZZZ
ZZZZZZZZZZ..........ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ................GARGLE
... GARGLE
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..............ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
HOLDING... OF... BREATHE..............
ZZZZZZZ.........GARGLE..........
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
EVEN YOUR PILLOW OVER YOUR EARS COULDN'T DROWN OUT THE NOISE
DO YOU REMEMBER
THE GUYS USING THE APPARATUS FLOOR , ESPECIALLY BY THE MANHOLE, AS THE
WORLDS LARGEST ASHTRAY. AT LEAST THIS WAS BETTER THEN THE GUYS THAT FLIPPED
THEIR CIGARETTES BEHIND THE RADIATORS. THOSE PUSH BROOMS JUST WOULD NOT FIT
UNDER THEM
DO YOU REMEMBER
THE THREADS ON THOSE PUSH BROOMS ALWAYS WORE OUT AND YOU FIXED THEM BY
PUTTING A PIECE OF CARDBOARD AROUND THEM AND THEN JAMMING THE HANDLE INTO THE
BROOM HOLE
DO YOU REMEMBER
YOU HAD TO SOAK A NEW MOP HEAD FOR 24 HOURS IN A BUCKET OF WATER BEFORE
IT WAS ANY GOOD TO USE
MAKE SOMEONE SMILE TODAY
WAYNE
DO YOU REMEMBER
THAT OLD LIGHTWEIGHT HYDRANT GATE THAT YOU COULD PUT ON WITH ONE HAND.
THAT NEW "IMPROVED" HEAVY HYDRANT GATE THAT

DO YOU REMEMBER
THE TWO WAYS TO INDICATE THAT A LINE HAD A HOLE IN IT
(1) TYING A KNOT IN THE LINE
(2) TYING A RAG AROUND THE LINE
DO YOU REMEMBER
DRAWING CARDS FOR FURLOUGHS
WHEN THE COMMITTEE CAME AROUND ASKING ABOUT OUR OPINION WHEN THEY WERE
ABOUT TO SET UP A NEW BRANCH OF EMERGENCY SERVICE THAT BECAME THE
"EMS"
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THOSE GUYS ON THE COMMITTEE
WERE FROM, THE CITY, STATE OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT????? I DON'T KNOW.
DO YOU REMEMBER
THAT THERE WAS AN UNOFFICIAL DIVISION IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT WAS
SORT OF BY CHOICE.
(1) THE INNER CITY
(2) THE OUTSKIRTS
IT SEEMED TO WORK OUT WELL AS SOME GUYS LIKED THE ACTION IN THE INNER CITY
AND OTHERS LIKED THE OUTSKIRTS.
DO YOU REMEMBER
WHEN YOU BELONGED TO THE BLOOD BANK YOU WERE REQUIRED TO DONATE BLOOD
PERIODICALLY WHEN CALLED UPON.
DO YOU REMEMBER
DISCUSSIONS (ARGUMENTS) OVER DETAILS, WATCHES
AND THEN WATCHES WHILE ON DETAIL
SHOULD YOU GO BY BOXES, DATES, A COMBINATION OF BOXES & DATES AND THEN IF YOU
STOOD A WATCH ON DETAIL SHOULD THAT COUNT ON YOUR HOME COMPANY
BOOK.............AH YES, THE DISCUSSIONS (ARGUMENTS)
DO YOU REMEMBER
HAVING CENTRAL CALL YOU WHEN THEY WERE HAVING
TROUBLE WITH THEIR PHONE
LINES AND HAVE YOU "PUT THE PIN # 24 IN # 2
HOLE"............. HOLD ON.........NOW PUT THE
PIN # 56 IN # 4 HOLE........NOW SAME PIN IN # 3

DO YOU REMEMBER
HOW THOSE PINS AND CIRCUITS ALWAYS HAD
COBWEBS ON THEM, A LOT OF
COBWEBS
DO YOU REMEMBER
AT OLD ENGINE 40S QUARTERS (12TH & LABELLE) THE DIP
IN THE FLOOR AT ONE END
OF THE PING PONG TABLE. YOU WOULD TIME THE BALL TO HIT
IT AND THEN IN STEPPING IN THAT DIP YOU WOULD ALWAYS HIT IT WRONG. THE REGULARS
GOT USED TO PLAYING WITH THAT DIP AND WOULD HUSTLE THE DETAILS INTO PLAYING A
GAME.

THAT THE THIRD MAN ,FEEDING THE LINE,
MADE MAKING A BUNDLE ON THE BACK OF THE ENGINE A LOT EASIER
DO YOU REMEMBER
IF YOU WEREN'T TOO TIRED YOU WALKED DOWN THE 2 1/2 "
LINE BY RAISING IT TO YOUR SHOULDER......................AS
YOU GOT TIRED THE LINE ONLY MADE IT TO WAIST HIGH.
DO YOU REMEMBER
HEARING THE DEPARTMENT RADIO SAY........ENGINE -- YOU
LOST YOUR BED OF LINE ON THE EXPRESSWAY (OR ANY STREET) WE'RE SENDING ENGINE --
TO HELP YOU PICK IT UP.
DO YOU REMEMBER
REFERRING TO THE EXPRESSWAY AS THE
"DITCH" AND WHEN WE
SAY IT NOW
PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
DO YOU REMEMBER
WHEN ROLLING TWO LENGTHS OF 1 1/2 " LINE INTO A
STANDPIPE ROLL WHAT A PAIN
IN THE $%# IT WAS. IT WAS EASIER IF WHILE CROSSING THE
LINES, ONCE IN A WHILE, A SECOND MAN STRADDLED THE LINES WITH HIS FEET KEEPING
THEM FROM SEPARATING
I
REMEMBER
OUR APPARATUS FLOOR STREAKED BADLY WHEN MOPPED
ONE BOSS INSISTED ,THAT BEING THE CASE, THAT ALL STREAKS HADTO GO THE SAME
WAY.

A BRIGHT ORANGE RAINCOAT AND A
SAFETY BELT. HE WOULD DIRECT TRAFFIC ON HIS OWN. WHEN WE GOT A RUN HE WOULD
STOP TRAFFIC FOR US
DO YOU REMEMBER
THAT FEMALE SCREAMING HOMELESS PERSON THAT ROAMED THE STREETS OF
DOWNTOWN. I DON'T RECALL HER NAME. THERE WAS EVEN A WRITE UP IN THE PAPER ABOUT
HER. SHE JUST SCREAMED ALL THE TIME. THE CITY FINALLY TOOK ACTION ON HER WHEN
SHE STARTED INTIMIDATING CIVILIANS AT SOME GREEK TOWN RESTAURANTS
DO YOU REMEMBER
ON ALL EXTRA ALARMS THE SALVATION ARMY COFFEE WAGON WOULD SHOW UP WITH
COFFEE, HOT CHOCOLATE, DONUTS AND THOSE WHITE GLOVES WITH THEIR LOGO ON THEM
THEY ARE A GREAT OUTFIT, WE REALLY APPRECIATED THEM, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE WERE
FROZEN.
DO YOU REMEMBER
IF YOU WERE A " YOUNG WHIPPER SNAPPER" AND YOU WERE THE CHIEF'S DRIVER FOR
THAT DAY, THAT CERTAIN CHIEF'S WOULD NOT TALK TO YOU UNLESS IT WAS ABSOLUTELY
NECESSARY. IT CERTAINLY MADE FOR A LONG DAY.
DO YOU REMEMBER

DO YOU REMEMBER
"THE GREAT HAIR ERA"
THIS WAS WHEN THE CIVILIAN POPULATION STARTED WEARING LONGER HAIR. OUR
YOUNGER GUYS FELT OUT OF PLACE WITH THEIR FRIEND AND FOUGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO LET
THEIR HAIR GROW LONGER. SOME GUYS EVEN TOOK SUSPENSIONS FOR NOT FOLLOWING THE
HAIR CODE. SOME EVEN WORE SHORT WIGS TO COVER THEIR LONG HAIR.
DO YOU REMEMBER
THE OLD ROUGH TOILET PAPER WE HAD AND THE GUY WHO GOT US A BETTER GRADE
THE GUY CAME FROM OUR RANKS AND THEN GOT A POLITICAL APPOINTMENT IN THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT. HE WAS ABLE TO UPGRADE OUR PAPER. THE OLD PAPER WAS SO BAD THAT
MANY GUYS WOULD BRING THEIR OWN PAPER FROM HOME.
MAKE SOMEONE SMILE TODAY
WAYNE
DO YOU REMEMBER
THAT WHEN WE GOT SUPPLIES WE WOULD GET ONE BOX OF PENS THAT WOULD BE GONE IN
ONE OR TWO DAYS. WE ALSO GOT THREE OR FOUR BOXES OF RED PENCILS THAT WOULD BE
AROUND FOR YEARS. EVERY SUPPLY DRAWER / LOCKER ALWAYS HAD RED PENCILS AND NO
PENS
DO YOU REMEMBER
AT LADDER 12 YOU COULD SMELL THE HORSE URINE IMPREGNATED IN THE APPARATUS
FLOOR WHEN IT GOT WET

HOW SOME ENGINE HOUSE'S HAD A GUY THAT CUT HAIR ON THE SIDE. THEY HAD THAT
HIGH CHAIR THAT THEY USED OR THEY ACTUALLY HAD A BARBER CHAIR FROM A BURNED OUT
BARBER SHOP. RIGS WOULD BE PARKED OUTSIDE WAITING IN LINE TO HAVE THEIR CUT.
IT WAS BEFORE ALL THE FANCY HAIRSTYLES, JUST A BASIC HAIRCUT.
