xfirefighter484x

From what I have been gathering... there was a spill of mercury, I don't know the quantity though.

Come on, we ALL knew SOMEONE was going to go there, didn't we???

Even though some (at least one) determined to be accidental, isn't it weird to have a string of multiple alarm fires this close in this area in this short a timespan? Friday Night/Saturday AM - April 23/24 Fairview x2 @ HRPC (2nd Alarm) Saturday Night/Sunday AM - April 24/25 Fairview @ Deli (2nd Alarm) Sunday Afternoon/Evening - April 25 City of Poughkeepsie x2 (One 3rd Alarm, One 10-75)

Oh, I WISH I had been around in the GOOD days!! Already mentioned... And, just a big salute to everyone over the past few days, departments with fires and all mutual aid companies, lots of work!

***Note: This, of course, is assuming the gear itself remains serviceable, and not damaged before the 10 years is up.

This unit for the transportation of people displaced by fires?

Just like most elementary kids are taught/know from fire prevention... Get out, and STAY OUT!!!!!!

LaGrange and Fairview on scene of this fire used tan gear.

Thanks! Funny, I was looking for you, and didn't see you there Lunchbox??

Whoa... I want one.......

Looks like a tough job, thanks for the pics!!

I have recently been giving them out, keep your eyes peeled for it!!

And unfortunately it seems that in our profession, we are merely staving off that inevitability by informing such people of their wrongdoings, or for patching them up and allowing them to go right back out and continue what it was they were doing... Kind of ironic, is it not, that our profession, we try to alter/reverse the Darwinistic theory/people?

I cannot wait for the new TL!!

Friend said the Poughkeepsie Galleria was evacuated "due to a security issue", anyone know anything???

Had a friend call me, was in watching a movie and they announced that the mall was being evacuated "due to a security issue". When he went up to NHFD IC and asked, they said it was an AFA, and a "false alarm".

I can attest to that too WMCer111!!

Looks like good fast work by the SVFD!!!!!

One of the discount websites I subscribe to posted this item up for sale today. Unfortunately, only 11 hours and 30 minutes left for this: http://www.thingfling.com/?utm_source=dealalert&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=DA030310-D1-Thumb 23.99 + $6.00 S/H

Glad at least someone was able to find this useful. I believe the sale is now over.

And how many times had TC called out responding to Millbrook or PV (prior to the new contract) from Vassar hospital, or anything of that sort? Or what about Alamo responding to East Fishkill from Vassar Hospital (yes, it used to happen, I heard it myself). NDP has called out with long hauls for 911 jobs before as well. All Commercial agency that I have even known in this area has had their incidences of extended responses, so let's be fair... To quote what you yourself said; Regardless, I wish the best to MLSS with this contract. Time will show everyone whether or not they can handle what they got themselves into, so at least give them a chance.
