Jersey City reserve Engine 23's Pierce Saber 1250-gpm pumper has "Ira Rubin #23" graphics on the sides of the cab and above the windshield. The loved fire dispatcher #23, FDJC historian, and Life Member of the Gong Club, passed away in 2016, but he is still in the hearts of many city firefighters. He was also the "go-to" guy for local firefighters to obtain helmet fronts, badges and other regalia.
