  1. This is DISGUSTING. Politics at it's worst. The politicians in White Plains should be ashamed of themselves.
  2. Both axles do steer. As drewmel mentioned, the dual axles help distribute the weight of the truck when it is traveling on public roadways, assuring it is within DOT compliance, can handle the weight of the truck, and is safe for travel down the majority of roadways. As well as making it more manuverable.
  3. Stiloskis is actually bigger and has more heavy recovery equipment and trucks then O'Hare, including more rotators. I was actually suprised, TV makes things seem a lot bigger then they really are. O'Hare is still an awesome and large operation, John Stiloski just has WAAAY more diversified heavy recovery equipment then Bill Gratzianna.
  4. Wreckers in this class usually run around $500,00-$700,000+ depending on a variety of factors, but the price is private. It will pay for itself several times over during it's lifetime. When it goes into service, it will be available 24/7/365 for free for rescues to agencies in the area, and appearing at the many classes John generously offers for free or particpates in for free.
  5. Please note you must be a Certified Member to upload photos to the forum. That may be your issue, not the forum itself. Please email me at seth@emtbravo.com with your name and contact info and I will get you certified, since right now our Certified Member application process is temporarily suspended while we upgrade the forum. Also, I can't seem to find it, I think that Jack posted a very detailed explanation on how to post photos. We also have a comprehensive "Help" section that explains a lot of things: http://www.emtbravo.net/index.php?app=core&module=help
  6. I guess the "red" that Ford's currently offering would make the new Chiefs vehicle resemble the current EMS Response Utilities.......
  7. Interesting concept. Braun Northwest-Northstar is a regional builder that mainly serves the Pacific northwest. http://www.braunnorthwest.com/ems_slidein.php I'm not sure I see the advantages of such a unit?
  8. Seems like an awesome and progressive class. Cool photos too. http://www.bedfordhillsfd.org/index.cfm?fs=news.newsView&News_ID=197
  9. As of last week, I am hearing that Somers EMS is an unofficial paid on call agency. EMT's and Drivers get $10 per call, and attendants $5. Next spring, options are being explorered to having a fully staffed career ambulance in house for Somers EMS. Anyone who can elaborate?
  10. I have been saying that for years. The reasoning, from what I understood it a few years ago now, is that certain commisioner feared losing "control" by losing dispatch. I say instead of paying WEMS to dispatch, pay WEMS for an ambulance crew 24/7.
  11. Looks great! Just curious, why the switch from red to white?
  12. The IA Topic Template system is now back up and running again. PLEASE follow the template to keep our IA's uniform and easy to read. Thanks!! The template should autofill when starting a new topic:
  13. Bump. Please use the correct topic title format as described above when posting an Incident Alert.
  14. The Incident Alert template system should be working again. Don't forget to use/follow the template when posting an Incident Alert.
  15. This issue should now be corrected.
  16. Is Ossining still planning on building a new station as well?

  19. Glad to see you're back, Bill!!
