I was blessed to work with Keith for a couple tours during my week in the field near the end of Probie school.... E.59 and 30 truck. An older house full of history and like clockwork everyday the stick goes up, the saws get started, and ladders go up. I don’t think I could’ve been assigned a better house for the week in the field. Keith did drill with me and the other probies. I knew he was salty af when I I saw the leather helmet 😂...we drilled the old school way. Keith gave me my very own Harlem zoo shirt and I feel truly honored bc it was his shirt. Tough old school guy, but that’s also the kind of guy he is. I’m so greatful for that and it meant so much to me. Of all the shirts I have since I’m a kid, my dads fire houses, that 59/30 shirt is my favorite and I wear it with pride bc it was passed down to me from a legend and he taught me a lot and made me earn it.
I always wondered about the lack of use of pipes on ladders in NYC. This podcast answered some questions. Coming from an area of the country where most towns have 1 ladder truck (if they are lucky, probably a quint) that has to do everything, I appreciate the explanation.
Great content like hearing about the old days and a totally different fire dept then today I’m retired and put 27 yrs in left because of a stroke wish I was still there
God bless you for your time and professional service in ladder 30,the Harlem Zoo. You were always good to me when I visited the house. A great bunch of guys. I met LT. Jimmy mcclusky years ago when he was on vacation on the Jersey shore, on long beach island. He said that he had worked with you and you were his favorite chauffer. Well you take care of yourself and your family. Thanks for the memory of your career. Be safe and keep well. Joe travaldo, retired from L 34
Great show as always! We're really looking forward to Tony Buckrop. Tony and his men took us into some of our first fires as snot nosed ride alongs many many moons ago. Allegedly
Just watch the episode I could not watch it last night this Brother was the best I really enjoyed this show . You guys are right I did 31 years in Bridgeport Ct . I never felt like I worked a day loved coming to work, also your Department pride is huge I would never traded my years in Bridgeport for anything I loved it miss it every day. Keep up the great work Brothers . BK
That's Funny The difference Mindset between a Fireman or A Firefighter. Coffee Cup! That's Dope. Keep ya hands use to the heat. Thanks Keith and the gents of Gettin Salty. 🙏🏿🇺🇸
Love this guy!! Keith is the real deal, and has has seen it all would have killed to have been able to work with him! You need to have him back again.....
Now someone can correct me or not. He looks familiar, Is this the guy whom was retiring in the Truck and being filmed. He states "40 years on the job, still standing" and shakes his head?
This is the kind of channel where I will like the video before I start watching...
Keith...You are truly someone we can all learn from. Thank you for your years of service!
