Tuesday, March 20, 2012 Once again Firefighters from all over the world converged on New York City for the 250th annual St. Patrick’s day parade. The morning started with having breakfast with firefighters from as far away as Germany and Ireland as well as others. The city showed these fireman hospitality that is second to none. I am glad to say that once again I was in that Company. The FDNY extended us every type of hospitality they could. I am always blown away by the lengths that the members of the department go to make sure their visitors have a great time. This year was no exception with PERFECT marching weather complimenting their efforts. Thank you once again New York City, the FDNY and all who celebrated this year’s St. Patrick’s day, night and following morning with us. Engine 37 ladder 40 you are the best.
