Firefighter Pete Mclaughlin was killed in The Line of Duty on October 8, 1995 just a week or so after our last ride with R4. He was caught in a flash over with collapse. Later, they would name a street in Queen in honor and memory of Pete. You can read a small related article by clicking HERE . WELL DONE BROTHER ... continue to Rest in Peace and thanks again for the ride!

Well, we are  less than 24 hours away from the final results of the  2010/2011 Black Diamond Boot Fire/EMS Blog of the Year!  We are holding a sizable lead in the Fire category and I’m keeping my fingers crossed. THANKS again to everyone for following Ironfiremen.com, taking the time to send comments / e-mails and for voting. We all know ...

Those of you who know me well know that I am a big FDNY buff. I made several trips up to ride earlier in my career.
