Now, a break in the action from me and it's time to post some pics from a great friend who I crawled into alot of jobs with who moved to Florida. When I transferred to Levittown, he was there with a camera at alot of our fires. I just saw him down in Orlando and he wanted to share these with the departments, Thanks, pics from Charlie Tursi, former EX Capt L-123.

Prudent chrysler, another car dealership in Levittown.
Bethpage Ladder 3 and Levittown during exterior ops

Levittown ladder 1 on the number 2 side

Elmont troops after a quick knock down in Franklin Sq

"The mean green venting machine" Ladder 708 from Elmont, assisting FS&M at a commercial fire.

The ladders, formerly known as 123 and 175, before
becoming Tower ladders, at a fire in New Hyde Park.

Another Levitt commercial fire, this one a billiards and row of stores, Ladder 1 at work.

L-123 just before the arrival of the new rig

what fire trucks look like where Charlie now lives.....
