PintheQ Productions: Paul Hashagen FDNY 

Brother Paul one of the greatest fireman ever! I sure do miss the nights in the kitchen so many memories!

Great interview. Paul appears to be a genuinely humble man. I will be purchasing a few of his books.

What a legend! He’s so right about not caring a bit about fame in the public eye, but what your brothers think about you is what really matters. Thanks for your hard work brother. Your helping keep stories like his alive forever

I am a firefighter in Argentina, and listening to a legend like Paul Hashagen, from the fire department that inspired me to become one, is truly incredible. Greetings to Paul, and to all firefighters in the United States of America. I hope one day to serve there!

Memories of a lifetime..thank you for sharing this with us!

"OUTSTANDING" interview.

What great interview brother. Im a FF 35 years, loved everything about it. Like Paul talks about its not the same. So many things has changed, and sometimes not for the better. I came in at time of pull up boots, the back step, and bells. My entire family was FDNY back to the 1930's. My grandfather was engine co. 6 and then rescue 1, My uncles were Engine 36, and ladder 28, rescue 4. We have close to 100 years of service with FDNY in my family. It's a brotherhood like no other. No one truly knows unless you do this type of work. Happy retirement paul.

Living legend. Respect.

Paul thank you for your service and your insight. I realy enjoyed this interview you did an excellent job of portraying the highs and lows of being one of New York's Bravest Like you as a kid I spent a lot of time around the fire house, the one and only Truck 1 FFD. My father was a dead end kid and Captian in the sixty's. I have a lot of fond memories of that fire house and the prople in it. I did not get involved in the fire service untill I moved off of Long Island and saw a friends house burn to the ground. Thirty eight years later I am still pulling hose and enjoy the gratatude of a job well done. Next time im down in Freeport I would like to look you up. Stay safe brother, Chuck Perez

Fdny , love the interviews and documentaries on the fdny. Fascinating, compelling , intriguing!!.

AWESOME, Thanks for a Great interview!!!

To be Honest, This is such an incredible interview. Such valuable insight from a True Fireman . I'm both Thankful and Honored to see this. This episode right here will continue to inspire the future of the fire service. God Bless.

Awesome interview. Thank you for posting!

You spent time with one of the best of the best! Great interview with Paul.

Just watched this podcast, what a brilliant interview. I’ve watched Paul before talking and found his life and RES1CUE stories so interesting that I could sit and listen to them for hours. From a UK FF, keep safe over there.

I stumbled across this only because I follow Mr. Hashagen on social media. Definitely following this channel now. What an amazing interview. And what an amazing opportunity to speak with one of FDNYs best. Keep up the great work brother!

I've visited Rescue 1 and was able to see the cartoon wall. It would be cool to own a poster version of that.

Great job

At the beginning of the interview, Hashagen pays homage to the toughness of firefighters back in the day who operated without the benefit of modern turnout gear and other innovations designed to make the job "safer". Breathtaking images captured during the "War Years" by Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Paul Thayer go along way to illustrate that point. These images considered by many to be among the best in the history of fire photography can be viewed by going to fdnyheroes.com

I came upon this by accident, and I am glad that I did. Excellent interview. I am now subscribing. Keep up the good work!

Good stuff

Is the host a FDNY firefighter?
