Interesting FDNY Ladder Company training/ recruiting video from 2008. About mid-way thru (6:06) they show and demonstrate a thermal imaging device (what baby rn's son called a "camera") which I thought was kind of cool: Note that the company demonstrating how a Ladder company works is Ladder...

Re-postings from the original Baby rn thread: Baby rn Oct 3, 2007 _ post # 19: ...He puts on his fire boots and hat every night before bedtime and comes into my daughter’s room with his fire flashlight to check my daughter's room for whatever and will say all clear and they’re both happy and...

Re-postings from the original baby rn thread: Baby rn Apr 28, 2008 _ post # 67: ....he always wants to rescue my daughter when in the pool...he told her to pretend she's sinking and he'll save her. . . But he puts on his scuba mask and swims underwater to her and grabs her like a lifeguard...

Baby rn's son's instructions to his mother (line apparently deleted from the original thread) to get to "a firehouse" "downtown" provides some sort of check on the FDNY company that he may have been assigned to. Only two of the FDNY companies listed in Lcadwmi's Aug 1, 2008 post are located in...

Apparently, baby rn's son gave his mother directions to a firehouse "downtown". Presumably his firehouse. There must have been a reference to this firehouse "downtown" in the original baby rn thread but I cannot find it (and I've really looked). Here is a re-post from the original baby rn...

UK mom: “From around the age 3 he began giving us names. He especially talked lots about Lou and even gave us a surname.” It would be remarkable if FDNY Lt. Mike W. were good friends with or had a working relationship with some Louis in the FDNY. Unfortunately, UK mom chose not to give us the...

Found an interesting synchronicity regarding Lt. Mike W. As you may recall FDNY Lt. Mike W. (deceased 9/11 at WTC) is our top candidate for UK mom's son's past-life personality. I did a little digging and found out that Lt. Mike W.'s father was a merchant marine and WW2 veteran who was...

FYI -- A little Southern girl had even more detailed memories. Her mom researched her daughter's statements and came up with Olive Oatman (1837 - 1903) as a best match.

Regarding the addition of the two battalion chiefs to the list of possible candidates for UKmom's son's past life personality, how likely is it that either one of them worked closely with FF Dan Potter during his time as one of the Ladder 5 chauffeurs (1995 - end of June 2001)? Well, I asked...

UKmom (28 Oct 2006, post # 16): "During role playing as well as names and giving his sisters orders . . ." Giving his sisters orders? He must have been a fire officer -- Lieutenant, Captain, or Chief. This shortens the list to two: Ladder 5 – 9/11 Fallen Firefighters Lt. Vincent ("Vinny")...

UKmom's original thread was titled "My son and numbers". Apparently UKmom's son, already at age 2, was very familiar with numbers. But why? UKmom (26 Oct 2006, post # 1): “I have previously been a member of this forum but haven't visited for a few years. I mentioned at the time that my son...

FF Dan Potter was briefly a member of Ladder 31 in the Engine 82 - Ladder 31 firehouse from early July 2001 to Sept 7, 2001. No one from this firehouse in the south Bronx was lost on 9/11. However, a former member of Engine 82, a Lieutenant Geoffrey G., was lost on 9/11. He had been working...

UK mom: “From around the age 3 he began giving us names. He especially talked lots about Lou and even gave us a surname.” “I had taken Lou to be a first name he was referring to but recently became aware that in America they have fire Lieutenants. Would someone in the fire service refer to...

The Captain of Ladder 6 on 9/11 gives a succinct recounting of what transpired that day from the perspective of a FDNY fire officer attempting to complete his assignment at the World Trade Center on the worst day in US firefighting history. He takes us from the moment he got to work that...

FF Dan Potter started his Ladder 10 "detail" (short temporary assignment) at the 10&10 ("Ten House") firehouse on September 8, 2001 -- just 3 days before 9/11. (I originally thought late August or early Sept, 2001) The two candidates from Engine 10 (quartered with Ladder 10 at "Ten House" on...

FF Thomas H., 36, assigned to Ladder Company 5, was a member of the Fire Department's Emerald Society and the department's basketball team which competed in the Indianapolis [police and firefighters athletic] games. At 6’ 3” tall, he was a high school and college basketball star, and later with...

Apparently a British English dialect in the Northwest of England can refer to pickup/ pick-up trucks as "trucks", which defeats my argument should UK mom happen to have been from the Northwest of England: Madseavets (2017) reply to Jaxcat: “Even later reply.. I can also confirm that "wagon" is...
