Remember When?




  • We didn'’t have microwaves and had to put our dinners in the oven after a run?

  • The Red Ass had to make sure the kettle was full before going to bed? We didn'’t use coffee makers.

  • The old hose tower at #2? Someone had to climb the stairs to the top floor to hang the hose.

  • Everybody had a nickname. Gary Glitter, Expressway, Oil Can, Taz : )

  • You had to tie the gun down on the ladders with two belts? How safe was that really?

  • Tillering

  • Bangor Ladder training.

  • Helping the senior citizens out of the Handi-Transit busses next to #7 station

  • Those stupid chain letters where you had to buy booze and send it to seven people on your list

That'’s only a few of the things I remember. Please feel free to comment and add the things that you remember. Have fun.

1- The Red Ass having to do the dishes and getting a free meal.
2- The Red Ass having to stoke the furnace at station one and station two.
3- The junior guys always being the first ones up to do a task without being asked. In fact it was expected by the senior guys and never questioned by the junior guys.
