Do you know who did the installation of cabinets, lights & radios ect ?

Anymore pictures ? In service for NWPFD yet ?

Great Photos ! Lots of apparatus I have not seen before.

Dispatching / Calltaking is a very stressful job. I don't want to change this topic but many examples come to mind that make me think of help not arriving because information was not received. I have received calls from people saying "Could you let me in the building , I am right outside." Turns out the person is standing two counties a way, outside a different police department with the same name. Other callers perhaps from another state say "I'm on the Thruway near the tolls" Turns out they are on the New England Thruway (I-95) not (I-87) NY State Thruway. I think the New York State Thruway Authority takes calls in one room up in Albany. I understand this is not the case here but answering all the questions for the dispatcher is important. Male or female I know dispatchers that try hard to get the job done. Communication is key. Sender and receiver. Drawing information out of callers can be very difficult. People stay just send them , "Dont ask me questions", "You know where I am" , "Over Here" The list goes on... Be Safe , be part of the process.

In Scarsdale the shift officer is a Captain. SFD is not structured with the rank of Deputy Chief. I believe Eastchester FD is the same way , Captain is the supervisor for the day/night.

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with TMC. I have called them with the same type of report and never had a problem. BTW that is NOT the Taconic and the BRP split. BRP doesnt start until way down by the Kensico Dam near Virginia Road. Lower Taconic Parkway is several miles south of the area of the TMC on the Sprain Brook Pkwy. I do understand your frustration dispatchers should and can assist callers by knowing buildings ,, certainly the building she was sitting in lol.

Rest in Peace Lt.Joseph DiBernardo.

Good Photos ! nice job

Possibly portable lighting . The work on Unit 445 is on going and still being set up.

Wow I am pleasantly surpised. Good luck to MVFD firefighters. May these new vehicles improve their safety on the fireground.

When does the current list expire ?

Sounds like a good job by all involved. Did the PD dispatcher have to evacuate the building ? Can another PD answer the phones and radio for DFPD? just asking... Because this emergency situation does occur from time to time and it happened to me.

nice photos good job Fairview
