Hahaha- yes the hovercraft is back in operation... Should have it back on the ice hopefully this week to make sure its up and running after all its fixes and modifications...

Im not sure if there is any truth to this, but i heard there is going to be an update to the law that came out, in the March/ April time period, to tighten up and clear up those shady areas, to detail what the systems need to have to comply with the law set forth by the govt?!? Is this true, or just hear say from others?!?!

In the Falls- our MPO stays with the engine and never leaves it while it is in pump... The lights are more for the IC of the scene so he can see what he has for water, and can plan an attack from there, whether he needs to call for more water or he is staisfied with what he has on the scene already...

Like everyone else has said, The Falls is here to give you a hand, if need be... Possibilty get a team together as well... Brian- Mahopac Falls VFD

I guess it is gonna be one of these storms we will have to wait and see what mother nature brings us... Greaaaattttt.....

Last night, couple of the guys were saying they heard it was suppous to be a wintery mix, and nothing major?!? Any truth to this, I havent had a chance to look at the weather lately. Either way, I have a feeling its gonna be a long weekend...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone- enjoy the day... Also be safe if you're working or get a hit!!!

RIP Matt- it was great knowing you bro, good times taking classes together and the many laughes we all had... Now that you're up there watchin over us, You'll be with all of us everytime we go out when the tones drop... You will be greatly missed!!! My thoughts and prayers go out to the Family and Friends of Matt, members of Carmel Fire and Carmel Vac, and Empire EMS... We all lost a great friend and fellow fire fighter!!! Brian- Mahopac Falls VFD

God bless you bro!!! You were one heck of a firefighter, just feels like yesterday when we were all taking a class together and joking around... You will be greatly missed- My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, your fiance, Empire, Carmel Fire & Carmel VAC... You were there for our time of need in the Falls, so we are now here for you buddy!!!

Im gonna go with Sept 10 @ 1600 hours...

The pt is still loaded in the rear like the old chopper. Its a very nice chopper, we used them couple monthes ago for a pin job.

Just want to announce that Mahopac Falls Vol. Fire Department Relay for Life team is going to have a pasta night on May 11 2007 at 7:30pm (friday night) at our Main House, located on Route 6N. $10 per person (children 5 to 10 y/o $5, children under 5 free). All the procedes are going towards the relay for life in June. We would like to see everyone there and tell a friend or two.

That is one of the main ones we like to do to our guys at our FD; and it always works!!!

Yes both rigs were at the show this year... Looked quite impressive and hopefully FDNY makes good use out of them, and the best of luck to the men and women who will be riding them...

My question is- Your allowed to become an EMT at the age of 16 in Conn and NJ like you saying. You and your family moves to NY. Is your certification still valid? or how does that work? Im guessing it isn't? Just a general question to throw out there...

Any word with Somers... I heard rumors that they would be having one for their 75th Anniversary?!?

A possible reason for a ton of apparatus is that depts coming in to so call" christan the new trucks"... all depends on how many departments received invitations- thats if they were sent out.. usually with the word out of a wet down, a dept may send a truck or two, and who knows how many departments come- like i said before, its a great bonding time for all departments... Multiple lines- usually there is abig water fight between the deptartments, at least thats how ive seen it done- where the host dept will go against the incoming units, and the main purpous is to drench the you know what out of each other... correct me if im wrong on any of the above info I stated...

I know in Putnam, our fd's dont have wet downs, for what reasons, Im not sure- possibly insurance and what not... But when I went up to my Uncles dept for their wet down, it was probally one of the greatest times I've ever had- great bonding w/ other firefighters and depts, alot of food, and one Huge Water Fight... I def agree with everyone above- that it is a great day and everyone has an awsome time.. I just wish depts down here would actually have them instead of "Drydowns"...

I believe Somers is having one for their 75th ann- but not 100% sure...

We (Mahopac Falls VFD) have a one of the Multi usage machines, along with 2 treadmills. But we have a thing arranged w/ the local high school where we use their gym courts/ weight room 2 nights a week...

could deff go for a ride in one of them.. but whats the chances of driving one Mr. Officer?!? slim to none prob...

also- if you can... just pm me w/ a fax number soo when we have a flyer made.. we can send it off to your department with the rest of the details...

The Mahopac Falls Vol. Fire Dept is trying to put together a Fire Department Softball Game for departments in the Putnam/ Northern Westchester area... As of now, there is no set date- but we want to try to get the games in during the July/ August time period (hopefully majority of the parades are over by then)... Our plan is to have it over a weekend during one of these months, starting early in the morning and going until we have a winner... If you think your department would be interested in putting a team together, please let me know... Hopefully we get a good turn out and have a good time...

all I can say is WOW!
