Only been 2 months, I would expect another couple weeks, to another month, unless anyone else has heard anything different.

God forbid anyone mention MERGERS, everyone wants their own piece of the pie... Sound familiar???

You should clarify. If definitely a Liberty, you are looking for LED (older LFL bars started as strobes). Also, is it Ballast or Passive, makes a big difference on LEDs.

Castle Point is, in fact Federal hire, separate from the County test. It is "residency preferred". Residency in the department area, not just in the County. Most departments will attempt to exhaust their residency lists before going to the County list. This past list several departments did make it past residency to the County list.

So many advantages... SO many disadvantages and possibilities for pranks and missing information.

I am going down to LI with another Task Force from Dutchess County at 0600 tomorrow

NY Code - Section 209-E: Fire mobilization and mutual aid plan http://codes.lp.find...de/GMU/10/209-e NYS Mutual Aid Mobilization Request gets made for specific items (i.e. swiftwater team, engines for fire standby, utilities with pumps for pumpouts, fire police teams etc...) from the areas affected, it goes through NYSDHS/OFPC/OEM, who then reaches out to specific areas for those items/manpower. The County Coordinator then reaches out to departments that typically have the manpower and equipment. It is then on the department to decide who is qualified based on their standards. 3 agencies from Dutchess Co went down earlier today, Amenia, Fairview and Hughsonville. This is in addition to Arlington and LaGrange the other day BEFORE the storm hit, with Swiftwater teams and gear.
