If you pick up the telephone receiver in this town you may, or may not, get a dial tone. If you get on a subway you may, or may not, get stuck in a tunnel for an hour. The wall socket in your apartment may, or may not, contain electricity. The citys air may, or may not, be killing you. The only real sure thing in this town is that the firemen come when you pull down the handle on that red box. - Dennis Smith, Firefighter FDNY Quote from his book Report from Engine Company 82 (speaking of New York City in the 60s and 70s)
