Thanks!

Thanks!

This site could not have been made possible without several people, including:

Greg Ricker, Youngstown-area fire buff, webmaster, youngstownfire.com and the real expert on all things related to the Youngstown Fire Department. Greg really got me interested in the Youngstown Fire Department through his site, and soon after, I began my own research into the department. And through this, Greg and I have began to collaborate on several things, including a YFD email newsletter, as well as several other ventures. In the long term, I hope that someday we can open a fire museum here in Youngstown, possibly at an old fire station. Well, please, do me a favor and check out Greg's website. You may notice some similarities to mine, but the history and current activities of the YFD are so detailed that it would take 500 websites like ours to cover it all.

Steve Bournias, Youngstown/Warren-area fire buff. Steve is also a great source for information on all things fire related, including YFD, FDNY, and the Warren, Ohio FD.

Bill Friedrich, Chicago-area fire apparatus photographer. Bill's photos appear on several of the current and retired apparatus pages, and include the two Mack CF's on this page.

Steve Hagy, KY and Ohio fire buff, an expert (known to most as "The Authority") on almost all things fire-related. Steve gave me some really good photos that are peppered throughout the site.

Daniel Schafer, webmaster, Sutphen.com.

Bob Sharp, retired Lt. in the Youngstown Fire Investigation Unit, now an Ohio Assistant State Fire Marshal.

Greg Stapleton, Lexington, KY firefighter and Mack CF expert.

All Members of the Youngstown Fire Department, Active and Retired, Living and Dead
