According to the Tarrytown Board Of Trustees, the bid for the replacement of Engine 77 was rejected since it was a sole bid. According to the document I linked below, that bid was from Ferrara The document goes into depth about the situation, and why the 11 companies that were sent the bid didn't actually bid. http://www.tarrytowngov.com/sites/tarrytownny/files/agenda/agenda-file/botws_agenda_-_8-10-16.pdf

I've heard White Plains FD has a new patch. @TheNewLadder32 posted it, but can you post the photo again here?

I truly apologize, but some posts made in the past 24-48 hours got lost in the transition from our old server to our new server due to the IP not resolving as quickly as I expected it too. If you posted something during that time that is now missing, I kindly ask that you repost it and I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for your support and understanding.

I didn't know White Plains had a new Smeal truck coming:

Surprise, surprise. This state really has some issues. How is this not fraud? https://www.yahoo.com/news/fees-meant-911-system-diverted-other-uses-132357589.html

Croton FD has awarded the bid for a new Rescue 18 to Spartan ERV. It's a demo, I believe.

For some reason, I've never heard of this fire before. Very interesting.

Last week, AAA Emergency Supply Co Inc had the honor of assisting the Ulster County Fire Chiefs Association with their Government Officials Fire Operations day.... This event was designed to give the officials a taste of what firefighters do. AAA Emergency Supply donated the Scott Air Paks, masks, and cylinders so that the participants could experience live fire and flashover conditions inside a flashover simulator. Participants also learned hands on auto extrication and truck company operations.

Let me preface this by saying I'm a happy Verizon FiOS customer. However, I watched News 12 for many years. In fact, I know many people who don't switch to Verizon or Dish because of News 12. Altice wants to do away with News 12 completely, eventually. They are based in the Netherlands, and are a communication giant that will control this from overseas, from the boardrooms over there at least. They apparently not interested in a community service that a local news service provides and keeps customers loyal- it's a selling point.

Does anyone know how this will be deployed? Brush unit, source pumper, line engine, etc etc?

I know this forum has been running slowly the past couple of days, I'm working to assess and resolve the issue. I apologize and hope you'll bear with us. Since we've upgraded the software a few months back, the new software version doesn't play well with the server and is somewhat buggy in that regards, and has caused a lot of problems. I'm continuing to work on the issues. Please let me know if you're experiencing anything unusual or problematic. Additionally, we are downgrading servers to something more affordable yet still suited to host this site. There may be some brief interruptions in access to the site during this time.

From the Fairview FD Facebook page: He was a great guy. Amongst many other things and activities, some may know him from his diecast business, "Westchester Collectibles". He found Fairview FD's retired Ahrens-Fox in California, and led the movement and brought it back to Fairview. He also was an active member of this site since the inception. RIP dc2t.
