Bruce, I'll have to get with you at some point. Some of Al's information is incorrect. Ironically, I had just began corresponding with him about a month or so before he died. I wondered what had happened when the emails stopped being answered.
for instance, Engine 12 was front line until 1994. That is when the city redeployed the manpower to 2 firefighters on the rigs.

Engines 2 and 12 were sort of like floater rigs. They were routinely placed O.O.S. and the FF relocated as needed. This made being assigned to these two rigs somewhat unpleasant because you never knew where you would end up even though the positions were bid jobs. Oh the old days. LOL
