where's the fire?

I don't know, but I really hope it wasn't serious, 
considering how long it was taking 
these fire trucks to get through the midtown 
Manhattan traffic.

Where's the fire?

I've never seen a NYC fire boat at work, but
usually when they're in "ceremonial"
mode, with water spraying in all directions.
First time was when they joined the tall ships here
on the Hudson on July 4, 1976; last time was
when one of them accompanied the Queen Mary 2
as she made her way out of the Buttermilk
Channel on her way home to England (see here).

Mellow Yellow Monday

Happy Holidays from the good men and

women of the NYFD. This nicely decorated

fire truck was parked right in front of

Bloomingdale's. (Yes, I know the truck is

red, but the hoses are yellow!)

Mellow Yellow Monday

Just have to say: The NYFD is always on it!
NYC firefighters do a lot more than just
fight fires. Personally, I'm pretty much in
awe of the men and women who choose
to do that tough job.
