Nice job, Truck4.

I think a good candidate for 'Photo of The Year' goes to the Elmsford Multi-Alarm Fire, 11.20.2007.

Not simply due to the volume of fire, but the intensity of scene itself that I felt was captured.

For Incident of The Year, I vote for the April Floods.

The widespread extent of the damage and the sheer number of people affected, is second to none.

The storm's effect was not limited only to the Sound Shore communities, although that area was undeniably the hardest hit.

I am curious to know how many calls departments in Westchester ran during the April flood.

I know that Bedford ran something like 45 calls during the flood. A record for a 24 hour period.

Isn't that #2, or are you questioning it on the list? Just want to make sure it is showing as #2 for everyone, lol!

Hackley is #2 on the list, nice job good list!

[helicopper 1,050]

Cool list - you really covered all the big and/or noteworthy jobs!

I gotta think that the Hackley fire was the biggest of the year, don't you?

What Playland job are you referring too?

NRFD documented over 900.....we know we lost a bunch of calls (document wise). We are building a new EOC and dispatch capability to deal with storms to prevent some of the documentation and duplication of service issues we had.

Am I skipping over something or do I not see the HRPC fire on the list?

The Playland job, although tragic, really wasn't a major or unique incident for emergency responders. That's why it was not included on the list, I assume.

Job well done on the list Truck 4.

What about the plane crash in the Hudson in Yonkers? Although Yonkers really didn't do anything cause NYPD aviation and the Coast Guard Chopper were there so quickly!

That was in 2006, Father Time. You really did need that new calendar.
