  5. The next generation of FDNY ambulances. 2013 Ford F-350/Wheeled Coach Special thanks to Anderson Fland for the awesome spy shots!
  6. I was told this morning of a heroic act performed yesterday by wraftery and his family. They were boating off Virginia Beach when they noticed two swimmers in distress. They maneuvered their boat around some tricky old docks and plucked the swimmers from the water just as Virginia Beach FD Marine unit and Virginia Beach PD helicopter arrived. I'm sure he has some more detailed information, but that's what I heard. Strong work!

  8. Pretty neat! Although I would feel very vunerable against other traffic in that steer car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWIUbmWdISYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWIUbmWdISY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjpAx5c0w4I

  11. I understand your view, and it's a word that's overused in today's society. However, I originally posted "heroic" (removed from thread title at your request) because I'm sure those swimmers and their family think differently. I'm told they most likely would have drowned and it would have been a recovery had it not been for you. And, as you pointed out, it could have been a much different scene had another boater come upon them. It may be a heavy word, but I believe that hero does apply in this case. There was a higher reason why you were in that spot at that time.
  12. That is one big helicopter! Great shots! Thanks for sharing!

  20. Why not just remove the 1500GPM pump and 650 gallon booster tank? I'm sure that adds a lot of weight to the Rescue. Here are some more photos and specs on the fleet from ocnyfire.com: http://ocnyfire.com/departments/greenville.html
  21. This has been discussed many times on this forum over the years, especially lately. Does anyone know how Westchester is going to implement this plan? Does this have to go through WCREMSCO? And will it be Police, Fire, and EMS? And when will this start? I'm glad this is finally going to happen, and know it will save lives.
