New Years Eve 1970 and New Years Day 1971......It must have been something to be on the job during the War Years. How calm everyone is with so many jobs going on at once.....amazing....

Both of you check your PM's regarding the "war years"

wow, can't even imagine

Its amazing that some of the bosses are calm and rolling with the punches. A few others are "losing it" a bit. The dispatchers are squared away ... "I can only answer one of ya's at a time!" How awesome is that!

I have a friend who is a retired Captain from L31 from the 60's and 70's. The stories are INCREDIBLE! But nothing like listening in, like the link provides. Good job....

Yeah, the radio did get pretty busy at times. Now we have MDTs and CADS to ease the burden on the radio and dispatchers. Too bad when all hell breaks lose, the computers run home to mommy.

Imagine that....all that fire duty, and they were able to get it done without NIMS, "Incident Command" and some guy from Arizona telling them they were'nt being kind enough.

Mind-boggling............Some of today's whiners and moaners could not carry these Supermen's (with a capital "S") lunch boxes OR jock straps, period.
