  • They need to show things like this in school to teach kids what they need to try to do in life. Kids today are a mess and couldn't hope to accomplish things like this.

  • Sounds like an idea but... I don't think were in dire need of Fire Fighters just yet, as there is a waiting list for the FDNY and the next test is in 4 years. Around 18,000 People took the test last year and only I believe 600 got accepted. So with these statistics I think were doin alright. Maybe more volunteers if anything.

  • This is just amazing! I was born in Queens in August of 1943, and lived in Astoria the first seven years of my life. I said to my mother, "where has daddy gone?" He's out looking at a fire! I will never forget that! Thank you so much!
