Depends where you our, Time Warner customers in the Northeast seem to be OK, but I know people with other Internet providers were having issues this afternoon.

Hello everyone I am looking for some opinions and am interested to know what computer software you use to track personal records and dept incidents? I am starting to take over the management of dept computer system which is Station Manger from FirePrograms.com. At the moment for us to get an upgrade we have to rebuy the software which I kind of find costly, so I am curious what other options our out there and what our other people doing.

I think it is a great tool to interact with both the community and let them know what we our doing both on the social side and firematic/emergency response side. Esopus Fire

Ulster County just did a emergency service PSA, here is a link to it on youtube.

Captain Iaccino Thank You for your service to your community may you rest in peace, and my condolences to the family and the members of Roosevelt.

Bus might be a good option, the trailways bus station is not that fair from Kingston Plaza

Over in Ulster where I am we respond with our brush truck, tanker, and engine. We have a pickup with a 6 wheeler that goes on standby in quarters in case it is need. Mutual aid has to be requested and it is usually for man power and a tankers. As for dress it can be a nice pair of jeans with work boots, or we can use our bunker pants and boots.

My wife found this on Craig List and I thought I would share with the EMT Bravo world. http://www.craigslis.../345840046.html Open Letter From A Paramedic Date: 2007-06-05, 7:31PM PDT Dear citizens of (and visitors to) Multnomah County, By and large, you're a good bunch. I enjoy providing you with the help you need when you call 911. You make my workdays (and nights) interesting. However, from time to time, I notice a few small issues -- perhaps we can call them gaps in your knowledge? -- that make my job a little bit more frustrating. Herein I offer a few simple pieces of advice to help make everyone's emergency experience more satisfying. 1. When I ask you questions, please strive to tell me the full and complete truth. There's no badge or gun on me. I'm not going to get you in trouble for being high on drugs, but I really would like to know what exactly you did. You're not fooling anyone. Likewise, I don't care who you were having sex with, where, with what exciting accessories, and what your respective spouses will think, but if it's contributed to your condition you should probably bring it up. 2. I regret to inform you life is not like TV. We do not run from the ambulance to the patient, we do not drive everyone to the hospital with lights and sirens, and most dead people stay dead despite our best efforts. On the other hand, we are not just a fancy taxi ride. I can start an IV (in your arm or leg or neck), put a breathing tube down your throat, do an EKG to see if you're having a heart attack, shock your heart if it's in a bad rhythm, and give about thirty different drugs for different medical conditions. I can do more in the short term than most nurses. I had to go to school for years. Respect me and I'll respect you. 3. In a related vein, if you could keep the drama to a bare minimum when your parent/sibling/spouse/friend/neighbor/coworker is hurt or sick, it will help everyone immensely. I understand that the situation is upsetting, and I respect your feelings, but the best thing you can do for the patient, me, and even yourself is try to remain as calm as possible. Shouting at me to do something or hurry up will not help. Yelling in general is not, in fact, helpful. Trying to keep out of our way, answering the questions we ask in a succinct and informative manner, and keeping your dramatic tendencies restrained are the absolute best thing you can do. 4. However, if it is your young child who is badly hurt or critically ill, you are allowed all the drama you want. 5. If I am trying to help you and this makes you upset for some reason, please do not try and hit me. I may not be as big and beefy as some of my coworkers. I make up for it in dirty tricks. If you do decide you'd like to tussle, I'd like to point out that you get ONE swing and it is never free. I have giant zip-ties, sedatives, and a radio that can call a whole lot of cops, who aren't nearly as nice as me. 6. If you are driving and happen to see my big vehicle with all the blinkies and woo-woos, please get the hell out of the way. Specifically, pull ALL THE WAY to the right of the street and STOP YOUR CAR. You don't know where I'm going and when I'll need to turn. Unless you're driving a Hummer I've probably got more weight than you, and if you do something stupid that I can't avoid and we stack it up, things won't come out well for you. Also I'll lose my job. 7. Finally, exercise a modicum of common sense about when to call 911. Examples of when 911 is IS appropriate: Traffic accidents with injuries. Chest pain. Trouble breathing. Lack of breathing. Serious bleeding. Unconsciousness. Seizures. Strokes. Examples of when 911 may NOT be appropriate: Blisters. Small cuts. Dissatisfaction with your fast food order. Needing a prescription refill. Colds. Minor problem (sore leg, stomachache) which has been going on for three days. Bearing all that in mind, it's a pleasure to serve you, and hopefully I won't be showing up at your doorstep, street corner, or car door anytime soon. Love, One of Your Many Hardworking (If Underpaid) County Paramedics PostingID: 345840046

I have the Vonage service and have had to call 911 I think twice maybe three times in the time I have had it and all those times I was directed to my local 911 center. When I did get Vonage I did have to activate the 911 service with my street address, but I image a good number of people don't and then get directed to the that national 911 centers. In one of those calls I was told by the 911 dispatcher that my address was showing up in the next town. As for the power issue I rely on a cell phone as a 911 backup.

I am thinking of running for an open fire commissioner spot and was wondering if I did get elected what our the personal liabilities with the job? I pretty much don't want to get elected and then something happen and my family loses our house because I am fire commissioner in the district. So my question is our there any personal liabilities with being a fire commissioner?

Nice story the newspaper did about past Esopus Fire Chief Mike Cafaldo. http://www.dailyfreeman.com/articles/2009/...28890747896.txt

These our images of the new 27-13 from Esopus Fire this is replacing the current truck which as severed the dept for 33 years

Esopus is located along the Hudson River in Ulster county, it just north of Highland.

Here our images of the old 27-13, which is a 1976 Seagrave.

I got the following message through my day job, As part of the re-opening of the Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge as a pedestrian walkway, the Walkway over the Hudson, there is an effort to organize a recognition of the efforts of firemen. In 1974 the bridge caught fire and there is a movement to have an event to honor those firefighters who were on the bridge that day. A local firefighter is pulling this together and would appreciate help getting the word out, there's a flyer attached. He's looking for firemen that served on that day or for firemen interested in helping with the event. Flyer: http://midhudson.org/funding/marketing/walkway_firemen.pdf

Does the bill specifically limit it self to only volunteer districts or just districts in general? Because if it is for any type of fire district this would be a fire service issue and not a Volunteer or FASNY issue. Because weather your in a volunteer district or a career run district the outcome would be the same if the voters think the district should be merge. Such as the case of what is happening with Fairview in Dutchess, this legislation might give the group fighting to disolve the district the power to actually make that happen. Does anyone know if any of the local IAFF have an official opinion on the bill?
