[quote name='capttomo' post='278754' date='Feb 3 2009, 10:12 ']Thats why I called it rumors.....I questioned the validity of the list...so much crap flying around about closings and layoffs...just wonderin if anyone had any solid info.....sad...[/quote]
The 4 companies closing at night (albeit we've only been closed 2x since Jan 17) are definite. Everything else is rumor.
We probably wont know for certain until mid-May, give or take a few days. The City has to give the neighborhoods a 45 day notice prior to closing any company. So the more accurate list won't probably come out till then.
As Brothers here posted, the Mets and Yankees (well, all sports teams) can spend millions of dollars on overpriced crybabies, demand more money from the city, and get it.
Meanwhile, the working class Joe can't afford these ticket prices, and the firehouse in his neighborhood is closing.
Bloomberg hates firemen. It's a known fact.
People (and now firemen) are 'collateral damage', as I posted more than once. Any money paid off in lawsuits will be a lot less than operating 16 companies.
As much as I do not want to see anyone perish in a fire, I sincerely hope and pray one of these lawsuit will from not be a LODD widow.
An aggressive interior attack has been a tradition in the FDNY (and many depts in America). Seems to have worked for everyone all these years. May be time to change Ladder company operations with a delayed engine Company response. Though a 'risk vs. reward' in a life threatening scenario will no doubt going to happen to a Ladder Company with a delayed Engine Company response.
It is going to be scary. In any city with drastic money problems.
Be safe,Brothers.

Kill 'em all, let Allah sort 'em out. NEVER forget 9/11/01 WTC, Pentagon, Pa. Avenge the acts with NO mercy.
Thanks to ALL the Brothers who were there 9/11/01 and afterwards. Words can never say what appreciation we have for you all.
