TMFD all the way !!!!!!!

If developers opt to put sprinklers in houses in non-hydrant areas, what type of water source supplies the sprinklers? I assume that in non-hydrant areas the houses have well water and not a municipal water supply.

If Albany passed a law to create "Fire Department of the City of New York", should we be calling it FDCNY ???

I thought wine was the fluid of choice in your mother's area ?

Black finn tuna dropped from a black hawk helicopter ....interesting !!!!

Did you at least buy them a tall frosty one (lemonade) ????

When I came on the job a wise senior man told all of the probies to remember that we were nothing more than a number. When you are gone there will be another number replacing you. It took me 21 years to really understand what he meant.

Barry as you know I'm a tier 2 retiree out on 207-A. I don't have any protection in regards to my disability now. The City of New Rochelle is refusing to pay for my medical care. I have been on my own for the past 3 years and no one in the state says it's their department to protect the retirees. The City of New Rochelle has decided not to pay for the medical care for the injured and has told us to "sue us if you don't like it". To sue the city you have to file an "article 78" in state supreme court. You need $5,000 out of pocket to file an article 78. The ironic part is the City of New Rochelle is claiming they are now saving the tax payers money. The money they save by denying the medical care due the 207-A retirees is that the money times 10 is going to 207 Resolutions, the labor attorney and the IME. They are doing this in direct violation of the GML 207-A and no one in the state has any authority to compel them to follow the law.

And don't forget to chock the wheels !!!!!!!

Governor Chris Christie is giving a known drug abuser the honor of the American Flag being flown at half staff. He should continue this honor with an eternal flame in Whitney's honor.

Does anyone know what this is used for. I have seen 4 in the Pinebrook Blvd Area of New Rochelle, 1 in the north end of N.R. 2 on Weaver St in Scarsdale and 1 in White Plains. Some are on stand-a-lone poles and others are on the utility poles with electric, phone and cable.

Was that AXE the customer service for an ASK or was that Ask for an AXE ?????

Any discounted log splitters ????

But it was a BIG RED TRUCK !!!!!!

Like the old rescue you owned ???

By what I can see in these pictures, there doesn't appear to be any hose on the ALF pumper except for the booster reel. Are there other pictures that shows if there is hose on the rig. If there isn't any hose, how do they fight a fire other than a trash fire?

Barry is correct. The Town of Mamaroneck Fire District #1 is run by a board of fire commissioners that is totally made up by the current Town Board. The town supervisor appoints the liaison from the BOFC to the fire council. The TMFD fire council runs the department along with the chiefs and the BOFC approves any major policy changes that the fire council enacts. The BOFC handles the money end and the fire council the administrative end.

When you say 'justify keeping PSAP at the PD station" , are you referring to the E911 answering point or just a local dispatch center? The E911 has nothing to do with central station notifications due to the fact that most central stations are out of state. If they were to dial 911 they would get the local PD/FD/EMS. If the call goes directly to 60-control and the PD is afraid they won't be in the loop, then give the PD dispatcher a pager with stored messaging and they will be notified at the same time the FD is notified. This way the PD is in the loop without the liability and without delayed notification to the FD.

There were 3 career firefighters on duty for that fire. The only difference in the turnout gear is their names on the back and on the helmets they have their badge # on the shield. The career officers have a generic LT shield. The volunteers will have their company # on the shield.

Here are some pictures just as water was put on the fire.

The ones that have gone totally paid. Many still have volunteers that ride or are the administration level. If the incorporation papers has Volunteer Ambulance Corps on them and until the papers are changed they will do business under the title VAC.

Many organization that have turned to paid personnel have changed the titles to EMS.

Why did you accept the reduction in fire service? Didn't you know what the services were at your new house or were you just looking for peace and quite and good schools?

Many years ago I was working Nyack Hospital Medic 5. We were just clearing from a job at Nyack E.R. when in races a station wagon. The driver was screaming and it was hard to figure out what was happening. In the back seat was a female and she was screaming (insert heavy jewish accents on top of the screaming). It was quickly determined that the wife was pregnant and delivery was imminent. Having the cool head and knowing that the E.R. is only steps away, I called for a wheelchair and started to assist the female out of the car. At this point I was given a look by the female and she waved her hand at me as to say NO! She then pointed to between her legs and the baby's head was showing. Now my female partner was outside to see what was going on. She immediately push me aside and proceeded to deliver the baby at the door to the E.R. (within 10 feet of the door). After, my partner who is also Jewish came to me apologizing for pushing me aside. It was obvious that this was an Orthodox Jewish female and my partner felt that it was best to avoid any male interaction with this patient. When everything settled down the husband came to me and thanked me for stepping aside and respecting their religious beliefs.
