[attachmentid=2995]Anyone Ever do this?

What companies are there around here the sell dress Uniforms and daily work uniforms?

50 posts about cutting grass???

I believe taxis are not under the County's control, but rather are under the local governments control, village or town. Same as the local FD.

What would be the hospital's policy on the other end of the call? Dog in the ED okay?

Can't say that I know how to use fans properly at working fires. I know we use them to suck the smoke out after the fires out or the burnt food is removed from the stove. But, what are the various ways to effectively utilize fans at working fires?

A little levity never hurts!

I don't think the controversial issues get deleted. I think the negative and the "bashing" ones get the boot.

Before looking at the call numbers, I assumed they would have only had one or two calls per day. A volunteer dept. that has DPW/Parks Dept/Highway workers responding do the same thing. But, like everything else, I needed to look closer to the circumstances surrounding this situation. It doesn't seem they would have the time to mow the grass. They have 15 firefighters per shift. Maybe they have too many firefighters. And for the company I work for, I do whatever I need to do. The success of any organization is members that are willing to do whatever it takes.

Sorry got interupted by an ambulance call. Here are their run totals: 2004: 6,802 total runs EMS RUNS = 5,061 FIRE RUNS = 1,741 -structure fires = 36 2005: 6,361 total runs EMS RUNS = 4,948 FIRE RUNS = 1,412 - GSW = 29 -structure fires = 28 2006: 5,221 total runs - GSW = 30 - structure fires = 51 At first I was going to say they must have all the time in the world to cut grass and may even be happy for something to do. But they are real busy for such a small area. And unless all these calls come after 5pm, then who has time to cut grass?

Seth, For the majority, your doing a great job and have provided a fantastic website. You can't please all of the people at any time. Do with this site what you want to do and if a small group don't like it, they can go to another website. Keep up the good work!

For me it seems that if a question is asked, it needs to be worded a certain way or else it ruffles the feathers of the department, chief, officer, etc. that the question is directed about. I like to learn from other people's example. I'm not into the volunteer vs. paid stuff fighting although I agree there is a place to question things about paid departments and volunteer departments. I'm no expert about firefighting or ems, but I do have opinions and more importantly questions. And when a question is asked, the person responding to the question should feel free to answer the questions without getting beat-up over their answer.

Braun and McCoy Miller are separate companies. Both sold by the same dealer in New Jersey.

Part of the issue with builiing a wall between US and Mexico is the mutual aid between the towns that surround the border. Mutual aid is carried out between the US and Mexico.

Is that a Brookfield tow truck?

From the Westchester County Website "The Public Safety Emergency Force (PSEF) is an all volunteer, fully trained, peace officer contingent of the Department of Public Safety. The PSEF, formerly known as the Sheriff’s Emergency Force, has a proud history that dates back to 1918. During World War II, PSEF members assisted in guarding County office buildings and the reservoir system properties throughout Westchester. In 1950, the PSEF was reorganized from a wartime civil defense unit into a peacetime emergency police reserve organization. Today its officers are sworn part-time deputy sheriffs of the Department. The PSEF’s principle mission is to serve as reserve manpower for the Department of Public Safety and provide assistance to Westchester’s many municipalities and police agencies in responding to emergencies or special events when crowd and/or traffic control is needed. In 2005, the Public Safety Emergency Force was deployed over 60 times and logged more than 3,000 man hours rendering assistance to local municipalities throughout the County. The PSEF also worked a number of special assignments, including several DWI check-points. Emergency Force members are required to complete rigorous, state and county certified training programs. Each member receives over 30 hours of in-service training in such areas as firearms proficiency, Penal Law Article 35, use of shotgun, Vehicle & Traffic Law, traffic control, vehicle stops, emergency vehicle operation, dignitary protection, in-service road patrol training and terrorism indicators and reporting." The "sheriffs" are the volunteer arm of the County. THey kept the name "sheriff" after the Parkway Police and Sheriff's Departments merged.

Rev. Al and Rev. Jackson don't want to deal with this? "Actions (segregation) speaks louder than words (Imus)!!! Georgia high school hopes to hold integrated prom Previous efforts haven't been successful The Associated Press Published on: 04/10/07 ASHBURN — Breaking from tradition, high school students in this small town are getting together for this year's prom. Prom night at Turner County High has long been an evening of de facto segregation: white students organized their own unofficial prom, while black students did the same. This year's group of seniors didn't want that legacy. When the four senior class officers — two whites and two blacks — met with Principal Chad Stone at the start of the school year, they had more on their minds than changes to the school's dress code. They wanted an all-school prom. They wanted everyone invited. On April 21, they'll have their wish. The town's auditorium will be transformed into a tropical scene, and for the first time, every junior and senior, regardless of race, will be invited. The prom's theme: Breakaway. "Everybody says that's just how it's always been. It's just the way of this very small town," said James Hall, a 17-year-old black student who is the senior class president. "But it's time for a change." There are excited announcements of the upcoming dance plastered all over the school, where about 55 percent of students are black and most of the rest are white. A makeshift countdown to the prom is displayed as a cardboard cutout on a main hallway. Student council members canvass the hallways, asking students to buy a $25 ticket and be a part of history. In the cafeteria, images of palm trees and waterfalls brighten up the sterile walls. "The First Ever!" a poster exclaims. "Got your haircut?" Students say the self-segregation that splits social circles in school mirrors the attitude of this town of 4,000 people. So getting every student to break from the past could be a difficult task. With prom night about two weeks away, only half of the 160 upper-class students have bought tickets. And there's talk around the school that some white students might throw a competing party at a nearby lake. "Everyone is saying they're not going to the school prom," said Steven Tuller, a 17-year-old white junior who doesn't plan to attend either event because he wants to wait until he's a senior. "They're saying it's tradition." Yet Turner County High already has defied tradition this year. The school abandoned its practice of naming separate white and black homecoming queens. Instead, a mixed-race student was named the county's first solo homecoming queen. Some alumni welcome change at Turner County High. "People still think of how life was 20, 30 years ago," said Keith Massey, a 1990 graduate who now runs the popular Keith-A-Que restaurant in town, about 75 miles south of Macon. "And life's got to move on." Massey recalls an attempt to integrate one of the prom parties when he was in school, but few whites showed up. Attempts to organize a school-wide prom in recent years failed because of a lack of student support. Stone, serving his first year as the school's principal, has been enthusiastic about an integrated prom. He's funneling $5,000 of his meager discretionary fund to hire a DJ and buy decorations, and he's persuaded a photographer to set up shop at the civic center to snap photos of the couples before the dance. "This senior class is a close-knit group from top to bottom, and they want to do what's right," said Stone, who is white. "They wanted a full school prom. And I told them if they would do it, I'd do them right."

What hospital(s) do you take 90% of your patients to and what kind of travel time is involved? How about travel time to the nearest Trauma Center?

The entire bridge would not need to be fenced off. Roughly 7,000 lf times the two sides = 14,000 lf. If you say this work could be done for $200.00 to $300.00 lf = $2.8 to $4.2 Million. Plus design costs and any additional costs associated with heavy steel reinforcement that made be needed based on design.

Compared to other forms of suicide, is the Tapan Zee Bridge really the method of choice of people intent on suicide? I would say it's only the most dramatic method. Evne if there are 4 successful suicides a year from jumpers, how many more are there per year by other methods?
