I'll dig up Bill's card and add more info such as his website.
This turned up at the assembly and departure to Fort Benning, GA (Home of the Infantry) of a piece of WTC steel.

Here they are leaving the Memorial Service at the WTC site

Seeing Eng 44 reminded me they were at the 9-11 ceremonies.
At 0846 the members face south toward the WTC site
An engine and TL are hooked up, just in case.

This is one of the Bells of Remembrance. These are recycled church bells that have found a new mission. They weigh in around 3500 pounds.
This is a plaque inside the church of St Francis of Assisi where Fr Mychal Judge was assigned as a Franciscan priest. Right across the street is Engine 1 Ladder24.
This is the memorial inside St Francis.
F.D.N.Y. - Guest - 09-13-2009
The bell at the downtown location is dedicated to the twenty-three NYPD and thirty-seven PAPD officers who were lost that day. These are the smaller plaques. Larger plaques at the front and rear list each of their names.
There's a similar bell commemorating all 343 FDNY members. That was outside St Francis but it was raining and too crowded to get pix.
Phil, Bklyn.

This is the FDNY bell showing the plaque listing 343 names.
Behind it is the Bell of the Unforgotten dedicated to those who are known to have died that day but for whom no DNA match has been discovered among the bones of the dead.

FDNY reg. # SP9330. Started out as 58 Engine and ended as Reserve 505 that was quartered with 54 Engine. Got detailed to 58 one night in Feb. 2003 and caught a nice job while riding this rig. Also drove this rig once or twice when it was Reserve 505 at E-54's. This rig would get up and MOVE! Sorry to see it in such a sad state!
Lt. Bobby Nagle E-58, responded to his last alarm on this rig on 9-11-01.

Correct, the shops took this rig after 19 had major problems with it and couldn't get the ladder out of the bed at a few fires. They gave 19 Truck the '01 Seagrave that was originally 40 Truck's. 40 Truck only had the RM for a short time when they received a new tiller.

The guy who owns this rig was a bit of a 9-11 scammer. He was a bouncer from Brooklyn who showed up at "The Pile" and started digging. He later became known as "ATV Mike". He would drive the little John Deere "Gator" around delivering tools. I remember him very well from several personal encounters. Now before I start to get berated for being insensitive to someone who "Just wanted to help out", let me explain the rest of this story. He eventually went on a nationwide tour, basically promoting himself and all that "HE" did after 9-11, he would wear FDNY uniforms and the FDNY Carhart overalls and jacket that were issued at "The Pile". He was eventually arrested by the NYC Fire Marshal's for impersonating an FDNY Fireman, and for having stolen FDNY equipment. He eventually faded off into the sunset, and I haven't seen this guy in about 5 years. He's since turned up with this retired FDNY Seagrave RM that he's purchased and, I guess, is trying to get his name out there again. Supposedly he now resides in upstate NY. He can be seen in the last pic with the beard, driving the old rearmount. Just be aware of this guy if anyone here comes across him.

[quote name='1958 F.W.D.' post='336084' date='Sep 12 2009, 23:49 ']Phil, at the request of WAH, I took my antique pumper to the Interstate 78/Route 412 (Bethlehem/Hellertown) interchange to lend support to the boys in the ride. They rode past about 10:15am. Took some pix, will post later. I was also there last year when they rode the steel out to Shanksville, Pa.[/quote]

I was wondering how long it would take for the story behind the story to be told. This guy was at a trade show in Massachusetts two years in a row, selling his book and shirt's from Engine 1 and Ladder 24. If I remember correctly their is some association between him and a member of Ladder Co. 20.

[quote name='R1SmokeEater' post='288820' date='Mar 11 2009, 19:59 ']Thanx on that !! I'm not sure I like/agree with all the electronics on all the new rigs (FDNY YFD's or who ever), as if they fail at the wrong time (and will fail evenually)- u have a big problem !! I remember when I was assigned to the Engine years back, we received a new Smeal pumper to replace our Mack. The Mack road-to-pump lever was mechanical, and the Smeal was electronic. I asked the Smeal salesman, what do I do when it won't go into pump- he told me it will. I asked again- what do I do WHEN it don't- again he said, it will. The final time I asked WHEN it don't WHAT do I do ?? He then told me about a mechanical override to push IF the electronic X-fer switch failed (it did)[/quote]
As a Smeal Electrician that puts truck together. There built with quality and are designed not to fail. But like all things electrical they do fail. There is nothing you can do about that. ITS LIFE
