Hello, My name is Jack Flanagan and I was privliged to know and share a rare time in our lives together.
I first met Phil on a hot night in the Suth Bronx , the late 1960,s. We were spending our first night in a newly formed fire house. The never before seen tremendous increse in fires , necessitated forming a new company called Engine 41-2.
This company would be in the ten most busiest companies in NY city for our entire time working there. In 2011 all of the men working the day shift , would die. when they were called to the World Trade Center.
But , the night Phil and I met , I was the acting officer and Phil was my driver. thin ten minutes after meeting we had our first alarm and as we rushed out of the fire house , Phil brought the fire engine to an abrupt stop , I yelled " What are you stoping for?"
He responded " Because I juts realized , I don,t know where to go!"
Phil had just been transferred from Manhattan , and I asd sumed he being the driver knew where the fire was.
We would go on that knight to respond to 15 fires before Midnight!
Later that month he and I ran against each other for company delegate, a elected position, voted on only by company members.
Out of 25 members I got three votes ( one of which was mine ) and Phil 22!!!
He was one of the most consistantly pleasant guys to be with ,in what the Fire Department called the War Years , the busiest time in New York Citys history.
He has been reffered to as one of " The Good Guys" this is a high compliment from a close group of South Bronx fire fighters.
