Time change, starts at 11 AM.

AMEN

That's it, just increase the taxes. The idiots who pay them will just keep paying. I just went to DMV, the fee's they now charge are getting out of hand. I have been thinking of getting out of NY. Maybe now it's time.

Minor change, all emergency services personnel please meet at Clinton's Funeral Home on Parrot Street in Cold Spring at 11:15, in uniform if possible.

It takes time to set up tanker ops. If you put them on the road early in the incident all the better. You can always turn them around. If they are needed you've got them coming. Nothing is worse than running out of water and having to wait.

Except in the village which has hydrants, any possible structure fire in Philipstown gets 3 tankers alerted.

Sounds like Mt Vernon Station 1

Art, get someone up to Bear Mountain the next few Wednesday's and have them announce it. I'm sure they will. You'll reach 100's there especially this week. Big event with trophy's.

At about 8 PM I saw a brand new Pierce engine, no markings other than Wisconsin plates going to the waterfront as well.

Back to the 70's all over again.

May he RIP

Bill those are some great shots.

No tthe answer. The one kid who survived is going to need everything they have, between caring for his injuries long term and having to deal with losing all he lost at 5 years old. This 5 year old boy is going to be a mess for a long time.

As the saying goes, "you can't fix stupid." People will always find a way. It would take how long to walk around? 30 seconds?

From DMV website "A vintage vehicle is a historical vehicle and receives a historical registration. The registrant of a vintage vehicle can put vintage plates on the vehicle. Vintage plates are authentic NYS vehicle plates that were issued during the model year of the vehicle. More information about vintage plates appears below." " What are vintage plates? Vintage plates are the authentic vehicle plates that were issued in NYS during the model year of the vehicle. You can put vintage plates on a historical vehicle instead of historical plates. For example, you can use a set of authentic vehicle plates that the DMV issued in 1963 on a vehicle of model year 1963. You must provide a full set of original vintage plates. The DMV cannot issue a registration for vehicle plates that are copies or that are painted again. Vintage plates issued in the model year of 1972 and earlier must display the embossed year or have the original metal tab for that year. Make sure that the tab is attached and legible. A sticker that indicates the model year is not required to use the vintage plates. Vintage plates issued in the model year of 1973 and later do not have metal tabs or plate stickers. How do I get vintage plates? You can buy vintage plates from a local source like an automobile collector, an antique dealer, or a flea market. Make sure that the vintage plates are authentic. Newer copies are not acceptable for a vintage registration. Before you purchase a vintage plate, contact the Custom Plates Unit at 518-402-4839 to verify that the number on the plate is available for your vintage plate registration."

Does not mean that is the vehicle the plates belong on. For once why don't these people work within the system. Ask the local FD for help, create a New Square substation and they man the rig, get proper training etc. They are going to get themselves in over their heads and someone is going to have to bail them out and maybe get seriously hurt or worse. Rockland Fire and State fire officials as well as law enforcement need to get into this before that happens. When fire is blowing out a window or 2, 200 gallons is nothing. Someone mention Mutual aid?? go ahead but it works both ways. Who is going to call in a bunch of untrained, ill equipt want a be's?

Joe, I just upgraded to the Blackberry Tour on Verizon a week ago, 3G, email and everything with a full (real ) keyboard and it works great.

So Chris, how was I able to come across 3 sets of old plates, one for my '67, one for my "55 and one for the '29 all from the proper years, take them to DMV and get registrations using them without any hassle?

There are several places that sell old plates and you can if you have front and back get a vehicle registered with no problem. I have had several. Don't try a to use plates on a car not new during the period they were issued. 60's plates on a 60's car etc.

Some college? And a certain department in Westchester does not even require a high school diploma.

Rest In Peace. My condolences to MFVFD and Bob's family.

Jody, isn't today the start of depositions? If so good luck, hope the court see's thru the lies and you get what you so rightfully deserve. That bar on your collar.

From today's Journal News "MOUNT VERNON - The lawyer for a city firefighter who filed a federal reverse-discrimination lawsuit against the city after being denied a promotion said yesterday that he might seek a favorable ruling without trial for his client in the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court decision on the role of race in job advancement." http://www.lohud.com/article/2009906300350

Mt Vernon has been doing this for years. Just ahead of their time. I know I'm going to get it over this one but I had to do it.
