Canvass letters are used to judge interest of reachable candidates by departments. You can still receive correspondence from S.F.D. along with other departments if they are hiring. More than one department at a time can canvass and interview a reachable candidate simultaneously. Not sure if there is an expiration date on a canvass letter. Keep your resume current , a suit pressed and not ill fitting, and a positive attitude. Besides rumor and hearsay, no one with direct knowledge is going to post here if a particular department is hiring. Best of luck.

Does it seem a bit broken? Yes. My comments to your post was simply that the HFD coverage to its own district was most likely adequate when E170 was at the YHFD job and that the monetary issues will probably get recouped or is budgeted for. I thought the IC on this particular incident utilized what he knew and used it. What he did was perhaps unorthodox or unusual but accomplished the task at hand. He obviously felt more comfortable utilizing HFD E170 than County HazMat.

Im sure HFD will either recoup the cost involved from YHFD or will absorb the costs as part of its budgeted mutual aid expenditures. My understanding is that the HFD has a proactive automatic/ mutual aid plan in place with several of its neighbor fire districts/ departments. Im sure it's fire protection was not reduced. The HFD Capt /YHFD I.C. knew what resourses he needed to mitigate the situation and got them to the incident in a timely manner. Perhaps unusual but effective.

Having inspection stations enforce this law will mean nothing. This is what will happen. Before the yearly inspection is due, bring the car to the window tint shop to take off the dark tint from the front windows for a small fee ( $20-$25 per window). The vehicle will be in compliance and pass inspection with clean front windows. Go back to window tint shop after the inspection and put the dark tinting back on ( Approx $100 for both windows ). Repeat this every year. A total cost of .50 cents per day. It may even be a lucrative law for window tint shops. I'm sorry but the government is trying to do something well intentioned but not thinking it through.

Confirmed? Nope. Word on the street ? None scheduled for the fall.

No Probie school scheduled so I would say no one is gonna hire in the near future.

Thanks GBFD111. That's exactly what I was referring to. I thought the comment was real harsh and was wondering what influenced the comment. Seemed that maybe a health issue was involved or a lack of working smoke detectors and not something that the FD did or did not do led to this tragedy. My posting this article and pointing out the comment was to start conversation on the subject and maybe that some extenuating facts left out by the Journal news happened. Certainly not trying to validate the comment in lohud.

Comment on lohud article suggests FD did a poor job in regards to a search? Anybody have any info about this fire? http://www.lohud.com/story/news/local/putnam/carmel/2016/07/13/richard-delaney-funeral-mahopac/87022108/

My understanding that the next meeting is to be held on June 6th and a vote will take place on the PC8 ?

Just when you think things couldn't get weirder.......... http://www.lohud.com/story/news/local/westchester/rye-brook-port-chester/2016/05/20/port-chester-oath-office/84666408/

At the board meeting tonight, a re-vote in two weeks was decided. The 2 trustees who abstained/voted no brought it up. Large turnout by career FFs, somewhat for residents.

We will see..........

Has there been any resignations from the PCFD volunteer force over this ?
