It seems, at one time, that having a FAST team was a big "fad" in Westchester, and everyone had to have one. And were very proud of it. Now, it seems, that time has passed. Why not train all members in basic training FAST operations? In theory, it really isn't that much more then search and rescue and other techniques taught in the class. It's not all about equipment.

Town of Broome, NY Volunteer FD in Schoharie County had a lot of equipment damaged in the floods of 2011. Kudos MKFD IFCO.

WOW! They work fast! I can't believe I was just there only a week ago!

Is Bedford still wanting to or trying to move forward with building new firehouse, or at least substation? I can only imagine with their latest delivery of the rescue, the space can only be even more tight, and having to shuffle the rigs around for whatever call may come in when responding even tougher and time consuming. Their had been talk about 10 years ago about building an annex near the Shell station, most specifically so they could finally get a tanker.

FOR SALE I got a Cairns-MSA "New Yorker" Style helmet with ESS goggles as a gift about ten years ago. It has been sitting in a box for about all of it's life, and only spent a few months on a shelf for display. Excellent, brand new condition and ready to go into service (shield not included) $75 OBO cash or PayPal. Must pick up in or near Greenburgh area. Send me an email, seth@emtbravo.com or message me on this forum.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the shot. I can't wait to see some of how the truck is set up and equipped. I've heard it's revolutionary....a mobile emergency carpentry shop on wheels.

Great job by Hawthorne's IC at the 2nd Alarm on Astor Place this morning! While enroute and as the IC got on scene, he made several specific and immediate requests upon learning the severity and knowing the amount and type of manpower and apparatus that would be needed. He also factored into the equation that he would need more manpower due to the weather and longer rehab cycles. It got really confusing real quick because numerous M/A units could not get out of quarters due to manpower despite being re-toned several times. Or units could not get the requested apparatus out of quarters but could get another one out. The I/C had to keep modifying his requests and keeping up with the confusion. 60 Control also did a phenomenal job keeping up with the mess of units who could and couldn't get out. Very well handled by the dispatch professionals involved! I wish I had a recording to play here to show how 60 Control's strong work. However, I hope this incident is evaluated and learned from. The amount of mutual aid and manpower not being able to get out needs to be analyzed. This can't keep happening over and over with daytime manpower, especially when it's August and a lot of members are away on vacation. If a department can't get out, there needs to be some sort of penalty or the department needs to go out of service until they can assure they can get an interior crew and rig out, such as using a scheduling or who's around kind of system. This was not fair to do to the person's house that was burning, and it was not fair to Hawthorne FD. It's not individual members faults, but a countywide problem that keeps getting worse despite years and years of discussion. And they need to stop calling Engines Rescues and Quints Ladders!! It gets too confusing listening to it on a busy fire ground channel! Especially for rusty buffs like me. LOL.

If there is a policy, what action is taken for violating the policy? And additional violations?

Is this the type of container car that you are talking about? Like the ones that derailed at Spuyten-Duyvil? And travel up the Hudson line nightly through Yonkers and Tarrytown and are sometimes stored at the CSX Croton North rail yard? I'm sorry for the crappy shot, but I saw a couple of "Fire Ports" located around the car that looked like this:

When going for my train rides, I always see this 4 door REP near the Harlem-125th St. MNRR station, about 10 blocks south. Tonight, I got out and huffed it to see if I could get a shot to share on here. It is a 2012 model F-550, with a four door cab with a body built by Odyssey Auto. Assigned unit # 5778-12 There was no one around to talk to about it when I photographed it, but it appeared in pretty mint condition. It also appeared that all 4 seats are being used (from buttprints). The body is exactly the same as a regular REP, and is of the newest spec. There could be a thousand reasons why this unit is a 4 door cab....the easiest is to say 4 man REP...but what is the reason? Is it even an REP? Is there more of this style, or are there going to be more? Buffy minds want to know.

Gotcha. Thank you. Date of manufacture is 10-15-2002

How is this relevant? It is still a helmet. I didn't say how the user had to use it. It still doesn't expire like eggs.
