Engine 24 Milwaukee Fire Dept. 1995

Those were the days.

A friend recently randomly came across this and sent it to me. Robert Paul was my dad and I have fond memories of visiting him at the fire house and being treated to the candy cupboard and a seat in the firetruck. We miss him very much but love seeing things like this and keeping his memory alive. Thank you for sharing!

A good guy for sure. He attended my dad's funeral. A class act.

[@ashleyerickson1757]

That was amazing! Thanks for sharing that with us! Those were the good old days! 78' thru 98'

[@Saltytheknifeguy]

They sure were.

You guys were having too much fun. I miss working in houses like that where everyone laughed all day n night. Things have become way to serious now and managment thinks a crew like this needs a hardnosed officer or busted up. Love the 3rd n 4th hand me down firehouse furniture. Some things never change.

[@Saltytheknifeguy]

All the guys were veterans of busy houses. Great crew. We had fun but played by the rules of the day. Why fix something that works? The truck was "also a Jaws" truck. Best time of my life but shit still haunts me.

Nice to see my old buddy Bobby Paul.

[@MrKnifeFanatic]

You are one hell of a good guy Mr. Sebastian.

The rigs sirens and bodies are so different from today Milwaukee wow so different and interesting to see how this was like in the old Milwaukee

[@Saltytheknifeguy]

"Old"? Milwaukee in the 90's doesn't seem that old to me. I will say, Milwaukee in the late 80's and 90's was probably the most violent time in it's history. Also probably the busiest for working fires. It was not uncommon for one firehouse to have multiple house fires in one night. Multiple shootings and CPR as well.
