SPOTLIGHT ON: FDNY SQUAD 288 

Hey Kevin, does that shirt you are wearing come in Mens sizes as well😏

Rest In Peace LT. Ronnie E Gies and all of the other brothers lost on that tragic day. Great video, can’t wait to see what else you have coming up. My son is in E-236 aka the Brooklyn Fire Dept. Lots of history in that single engine firehouse.

Thanks. Great Video. Just listening to FDNY radio alarm broadcast has made me try to become a better person . I hear dedication, good manners,professionalism, confidence,respect,and a willingness to get the job done. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thanks GS for the great and informative video. I am retired now, had 22 years on the Flushing fire dept. In Michigan. 6 miles west of Flint, around 20 thousand population with the township. The name of the town used to be Clayton until former residents of Flushing Queens N.Y. moved here and the city's name was changed to Flushing in the late 1800's. A great little department trained by Flint city municipal chiefs to do aggressive interior attacks. My dad and father in law where city of Flint firefighters. But we've always loved and respected the FDNY.and the squads have always particularly interested me. And I really enjoyed the neighborhood history that you included in the video. I'm a musician and have played in Manhattan quite a few times over the years with different bands. Grand Funk, Rusty Wright and Mark Farner bands. Got stranded at LA Guardian during the 2016 blizzard after playing at BB Kings that night. You guys are the greatest firefighters in the world. And the rest of us all look up to and respect you. Keep salty and take all our prayers and blessings with you wherever you go!

RIP to the 343. Remembering my friend LT. Ron Kerwin, Squad 288 (Was also the Chief of the Levittown Long Island Fire Dept. )

RIP Adam Rand. Miss you brother

very cool video ,keep up the good work,I am retired now ,but had a few details to E-288 (before the squad),and also had the pleasure of working with Ronnie Geis in E 308.

interesting about the squads and rescues... their duties parallel each other so much that i'm surprised that the city leaders haven't tried to pare them down, get rid of one or the other because of their overlapping duties... in this day and age of cities crying BROKE, fire depts. are THE FIRST ones on the chopping block... good for you guys that you've been able to stave off the potential cuts to this vital part of the dept

Good video but may I suggest losing the unnecessary background music,

Stand tall and and step with authority. Everyone looks up to you guys.

So 'technically', they can also be considered another Rescue, right?

Wow! Awesome video, HERO FIREFIGHTERS! Beautiful Firehouse too, many many thanks!

Well done

I'd like to see some interviews of the first Firefighters that were hired to replace the 343 Firefighters killed on 9/11.

Great videos guys , keep it up.

I grew up in Maspeth. This was my local firehouse. Thanks for spotlighting it. On your next visit please stop by the monument at the intersection of Grand Ave, 69 St and the LIE just to the rear of the house.

I lost 5 great friends all from 288 on 9/11 Ronnie Corwin Ronnie Gies Kevin Prior Adam Rand and my closest friend whom i couldn't help because he was to proud to reach out to me and I miss the most Gary Celentani .... So thanks for doing the Spotlight on Squad 288 I miss the boys terribly 😔

Thank you for serving your city! My dad is retired from the New Orleans Fire Department Flying Squad (Rescue Company) Mid City.

May I ask, What is the difference between: Ladder, Engine, squad and or Rescue? Do they all do different things?

Bad Ass!!!!!

Great video explaining the history of the company. Very surprised to hear 288 lost 19 members at 9/11 when only 8 are listed. Are you counting former members of the company too?
