That was a hot one that year. See, back then we didn't have an unpopular war, out of control oil prices, racial tensions. The enviroment was clean, you could drink out of the Hudson! ;-)

@zaffdoc Fun in the summer maybe, but in cold rain and snow not so much. Not to mention dangerous as hell.

WOW! Amazing piece of history and the time!!! I was born in '77 and came on the job in 2000 (LAFD). When I decided I was going to be a FF, I read my first real book ever; Report From Engine Co. 82 by Dennis Smith, based around the same time as this clip!!!! I couldn't stop reading it! The stories, the guys... I wish we could just be "normal" in the fire station like those guys were. FDNY and that era will always have a very special place in my heart. Great stuff!!!

@usmarines911 There was not anything in this world that was more fun than riding the tailboard of a fire engine. Putting your fire coat on and buckling up while holding the hand rail as the engineer drove like crazy to the fire. Then the captain holding up his hand showing two fingers which meant to lay two 2 1/2 inch lines. The engineer slows down and you and the other back-end guy each pull a loop of hose off and wrap it around the hydrant and the pumper never stops till it gets to the fire
