Mount Kisco: Firefighters trained on new radio system http://www.thejournalnews.com/weekly/03040...304mkfirer.html

I found this site through FDNYTrucks.com..............some really beautiful oil paintings featuring FDNY rigs and other FD apparatus and stations from the NY area http://www.walterbuble.com/firefighting.html Check this one out. It's Bedford Village's Classic Maxim: http://www.walterbuble.com/Maximw_bell.html Really nice work!!!

This is what Mohegan needs: http://www.lifelineambulance.com/images/re...18/MVC-001L.JPG It's a 2004 Chevrolet 4500/Lifeline Superliner HeHe!

Some excellent posts on this thread. I enjoyed that insight about the past, firebuff08. It seems like the more things change, the more things stay the same in this county. People's egos and other immature tatics put up a big wall to progress IMO, in this county. If people learned to work together, to stop duplicating services, and to combine infastrucutre, we could save millions upon millions that could be better applied elsewhere. The reason why the PSAP system doesnt work efficiently and safely in this county is because (most) people dont want to work together and/or give up "control".

It's been way too quiet in here. There's gotta be more going on.........Anybody know of any upcoming Fire/EMS related events in the Metro NY area??????? POST 'EM IF YOU GOT EM!!!!

Vote in the above poll. Add some comments or discussion if you'd like too.

Me too. Damn 35 YO minimum age, lol!!!! If that was to happen, the Presidential limosine would be a Pierce Arrow XT 100' RM Aerial!!!!

I have a feeling this won't be the last we see of R-6. BTW, Are those "temporary" collapse units still in service????????

Wow, definetly some exciting news on the Yonkers front! (But hopefully, we will next be hearing that YPD*ESU is getting a Mack MR ESU Truck!!!) I wonder if the are going to be making any modifications to the current rig, such as relettering or adding some makeshift compartments???? Can't wait to the new (ALF?) Rescue Pumper!!!

Yeah, and so you can get gas money for your truck, of which I STILL have not seen a photo of!!!!! Talking about snow this early is almost as disgusting as the Christmas stuff being out. There is no possible way it could be even near that time of year again......where did the summer go?

ALS is GLUED to MSNBC right now. I heard someone tried to turn on Fox News Channel and he almost killed them. :poke:

I wonder how many departments actually properly and regualrly clean both their facepieces and the actual pack infastructure, as well as the bottles.

This sounds sucipicous. Albany usually hires during the NYS FF Civil Service process, which is usually in May. My guess is that this ad is either a disguise for a Test-Prep firm or the US Military.

Just for reference, just some bills that are/were active in the NYS Assembly. http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?bn=A04382 Restricts the use of unmarked or concealed identity law enforcement vehicles by the state police and designated state departments and offices http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?bn=A08369 Prohibits the use of unmarked police vehicles to routinely stop motorists for vehicle and traffic law violations, with exceptions http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?bn=S00954 Restricts the use of unmarked or concealed identity law enforcement vehicles by the state police and designated state departments and offices

Very interesting, thanks for that awesome write up!! When ya look at it..Westchester is a pretty busy place.

Go (New England) Patriots!!!!

The full moon turns red and orange as it passes the Space Needle in Seattle during a total lunar eclipse Wednesday evening, Oct. 27, 2004. With the Earth passing between the sun and the moon, the only light hitting the full moon was from the home planet's sunrises and sunsets, resulting in the orange and red hue.

Just wondering when everybody's Winter Uniform period starts? Also, do you have transition period? I can't believe its time for winter uniforms already. Makes you really appreciate the simplicity of the summer uniform.

Like everything else with WC Gov., I'll believe it when I see it finally done. The rumor is, that the new "firehouse" bays will face out onto the Bus- Depot road....the bays are definetly needed.....all the vehicles should be housed inside at least for protection from the elements...The new training props are definetly needed as well, the taxpayer and mask confidence ones are long overdue. The pond has needed dredging for a while....its almost a puddle. With that said........HOW ABOUT AN IMPROVMENT/UPGRADE OF THE RADIO ROOM FACILITIES!!!!! I guess communications is always overlooked in this county.

Cablevision gets greedier and greedier each day, just as News 12 gets worse . So i guess people who now live outside of the WC who use News12.com to keep up on WC are out of luck, and so are those who subscribe to the Dish network or DirectTV. I wonder what this new "Premium Service" will include :roll:

Just curious- are there any Firehouses in the Westchester County area that still have sliding poles that they use actively??? How about poles that are still there, but not used? Also, were there a lot of departments that even had poles at one time or another? I'd assume the volunteer houses would have no use for them, since they responded from home.....so they probaly were mostly in career houses?

Wait, don't FDNY EMT's and Paramedics staff these Haz-Tac units??? It does say triaging and administering antidotes, which is an EMS role as far as I know.
