Great job Seth this is why the board is so good. What you gona do when they come for you......point police

If I remember right the Harrison engine went to the DPW and was painted "BLUE" but that was back in 89-90 have no clue to what happened after that. Maybe Dino could help with this one.

Now that is to much work to do when going on a call.............Get a bus sign for the front or the LED board sign then the tech or medic can just type what they are...... just joking with the sign stuff

Well we now have a book club area that is great. Maybe we can add in the same area something for TV and Movies. Just my two cents Chris

It is with deep regret The Hackensack NJ Fire Department announce's the passing of Deputy Chief Thomas Canzanella on this date. Tom also served as the president of PFANJ. June 12, 2007 – The IAFF is mourning the loss of Tom Canzanella, president of the Professional Firefighters Association of New Jersey (PFANJ) and Hackensack, NJ Uniformed Fire Officers Association Local 3172. Canzanella, 50, died June 12 from a heart attack. Last week he had suffered a sudden brain aneurism. The viewing will be held Friday, June 15, 2007, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the G. Thomas Gentile Funeral Home, 397 Union Street, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601; (201) 487-1010. The funeral will be held Saturday, June 16, 2007, at 11:00 a.m. at the Holy Trinity Church, 34 Maple Avenue, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601; (201) 342-3196. “The unexpected and terrible loss of Brother Canzanella weighs heavy on the hearts of his family, friends and all IAFF members,” says IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger. “His leadership and dedication to duty has led to the improvement of working conditions and benefits for all professional fire fighters in New Jersey. He was a true champion for fire fighter safety and a leader in supporting the IAFF on all issues of concern to union members.” Canzanella was a new union official on July 1, 1988, when five members of his local were killed in a fire and collapse at a car dealership in Hackensack. He led the crusade for a full and proper investigation of the event. After the investigation, he pushed for major changes in his fire department based on the report of the investigation. In addition to serving as president at both the state and local level, Canzanella was a District Field Service Representative for the 1st District and an IAFF HazMat/WMD instructor. He is survived by his wife, Diane, and his children, Thomas and Allison.

I think that FDNY Hq should be called "The House of Shame" all of them should fight for the brothers as they came from the ranks. Sorry had to say that after 25 beers. Chris

Hi all Just wanted to ask is Y.F.D. E-300 going to be used as a hose wagon for 5" hose or will it go as a normal engine co. Also what house is it stored at. Thanks Chris

R1 thanks for the info and be safe. Thanks Chris

Yes it will set off your pager via the repeater freq. as it is the same transmit tone. The only thing to worry about it is if Yorktown shut the repeater down and you do not know about it you will no signal. Hope this helps you. Chris

From a very reliable source states it appears American LaFrance has won the bid to supply the Newark with three engines and two trucks that were put out for bid from the 2005 budget. Also rumored is that there is talk of tacking on three more engines, two more trucks, and a new rescue from the 2006 budget. From an E-mail

Just and FYI the city of Newark is also going to ALF rigs with the new order of I think 3 engine's and 1 ladder to start with and they may have an add on very soon. I will get more info and pass it on.

404 is not the correct number if you count the K-9 you should also add Keith Roma of the New York City Fire Patrol co. 2 he lost his life that day aswell. Thank You Chris Page

Here in N.J. (Bergen Co) My dept. we use the system of a M/A FAST on the W/F signal but alot of the time we use the 3rd engine till we het the M/A truck in. We also have all members trained so at any time we may dispatch an engine or the ladder as the 2nd or 3rd FAST unit. The first team in should have all the tools and equipment set up i/f/o the bldg if they go to work for fire duty they should leave the stuff and let the 2nd due fast use it and so on if they go to work. I also have heard some areas dispatch 2 fast team on the w/f signal may not be a bad thing. Just my 2 cents. Chris

Call me crazy but I do like them I would love to get one for myself and do it up a bit. But I think they are all beer cans by now. Chris

Maybe the city should give the Aux PO's fire arms training and deadly force training before letting them go on patrol. The city has armed security guards all over the 5 boro's then you also have armed guard on the money trucks who have no traing. At the least let them have a gun while on patrol and take it from them when not on duty. I also feel this should be done for the DOT guy's who are on every other corner in the city train them as well. They all can make a difference. All of the mutts have guns without any training. Just my 2 cents. Chris Page

Here is the rig's that the Aux FD used and will be sold. Chris Passaic Nj Aux FD pics from FDNYtrucks.com

I know that Newark NJ also had 6 or 7 of them (Engines) and a few up in the New England area also. Yonkers was the only dept to have enclosed crew cabs on them. Only the referb eng had the open crew cab the ladder that was L-69 was enclosed as well and it was an 85' ladder from ALF. I know of one still in service in Orange Co NY in the Kirias Joel FD I think it came from Essex MA before it's second life in Orange Co. Hope his help's Chris

He was joking.....the RESCUE Co's dont get flats all of the tires are hooked up to the onboard air pump. So they never get flats. Chris
