PHIL78

I totally agree i also made it down to the 9/11 memorial last summer and was disgusted by the kind of tourist attraction feel. People posing for pics with big old smiles like they were at the amusement park. It seems people have lost the reality of what happened there.At one point even my son asked why i wasnt smiling and i explained to him that nothing good happened there( he was one on 9/11).I then had him watch the documentories on the History channel and he got it. These people DESERVE our enduring respect i wish more people would show it.

Date:10/2/12 Time:Approx. 1700hrs Location:150 Jackson ave x Peace st. Frequency: Units Operating:Pelham Manor FD, New Rochelle FD E22, L12 2302.(there was other mutual aid, I think Eastchaster but im not positive). Weather Conditions:Rain Description Of Incident:House Fire Reporters: NRFD dispatched approx 1715 hrs to the above address, Pelham Manor on scene of a working house fire.Fire in the walls on the first floor and extending.Fire extended to all floors and into the attic.Numerous lines stretched Walls opened on all floors.Heavy smoke throughout the home.Unsure of the UC time NRFD picked up approx 1930hrs.Pelham Manor still on scene at that time.

An IC at a job, career or volley shouldn't have to find out the qualifications of the mutual aid he called.They should be qualified to perform the tasks assigned to them,have a officer able to make decisions and get the job done and not be another thing the IC has to worry about he's got enough already. Carreer depts in Westchester call each other cause they know what they're getting.

Rest in peace Antonio have a beer with Kieth up there.

The reason 23 and 13 went was that we (E 22, L12) spent most of the afternoon in Mt Vernon.Otherwise it most likely would have been 22 and 12.

If thats true,how would New Rochelle benifit from combining with a severely understaffed dept. We already respond to the Pelhams on ever fire they have so it seems to me the only dept that would benifit would be Pelham.

Speechless...........

I wouldnt want them to be the only tool in my shed.If they work as good as some are saying id love to have them on the rig.From what ive noticed every battery powered tool we have(sawzalls,rebar cutter etc.)seems to be tossed aside everytime fore the electric ones,they just seem to get the job done faster and better. Im sure they have thier uses but i wouldnt rely on them.

No wonder the fire's still burning.

Bad a** rig Barry. Love the low hose bed im sure its appreciated by those vertically challenged nozzle men. I guess the yellow on the rear is required,couldn't been left white?

NRPD has an old Coast Guard boat with a deck gun that can be easily deployed on the bow and throws alot of water. NRFD actually has firefighters on board on the fourth of July during the fireworks. NRPD also have a smaller boat that can also throw water using a portable pump and small deck gun..I dont think they're there in the winter but the rest of the year possibly.

THE ROCK!

PLEASE! ENG 21 aka 30 A-4!

I bet the politicians are running for cover.Hope they look in the mirror and point at themselves cause they're to blame.And im not saying that proper staffing would have saved this child but who knows. THE POLITICIANS THATS WHO..........................yeah right.
