Doesn't Opie look so statuesque!!!!!!

50-65, thank you for sharing this with us. I am glad to hear stories like this instead of said rapper beating his gf. Good to know this hero has earned his final rest. RIP, sir.

My girlfriend's younger sister goes to school up there, and her apartment overlooked the scene. Said it was quite the spectacle. My brother also attends school there, and this took place 4 blocks from him, but lucky he was visiting UCLA, touring for grad school.

Wish I had gotten to wish him well off when I saw him that day, but I didn't even know it was his final day!!

Got mine on Staurday (Thanks Bendel). I like the simplicity of it, not overly-flashy.

Now they just need to have some when I'm not working!!!!

I'll be picking one up this weekend, unless one of you guys wants to bring one by the ER tomorrow or Sunday??

Hmmmm, WCPD Aviation and Photounit; A nice sounding combo! Now if only we could get DCSO to get an aviation unit!!! Nice pics Chris, thanks for sharing!! Always nice from a different perspective than normal!!! Were you up with WCPD doing bambi bucket drops?

Yup, another 2nd Alarmer. I looked it up on http://maps.live.com. Is it right next to their firehouse?

Oh c'mon now, a little bondo and fresh coat of paint and good as new!!!!

Fishkill PD??? Seems the PD in this area recently are being taxed as much as the FDs with large incidents. Lost of m/a recently. What is this area turning into??

RIP. Poor hydrant didn't stand a chance!!

Sitting at the firehouse I must have counted at LEAST 6-8 Town of Pk cruisers go by code 3.

A former East Fishkill FD Ambulance was purchased by PECo for a minimal price and repainted to their black-over-red scheme, and I was unsure of its intended use in the long run, but that seems like a cool idea. The PECo guys go all out, and are a highly trained, and well disciplined group. If this is the case, best of luck guys!!

East Fishkill does have 2 rescue vehicles with a decent amount of cribbing, struts, and other stabilizing equipment. They also have a fully stocked trailer with table saw, a multitude of wood of different sizes and lengths, PasLoad guns, struts, jacks, hammers, nails, screws, screwguns etc... While there is no specific team associated with such, it is a resource that is available, and they are always willing to go help and lend their equipment, and a few people with training in said area.

Found this on the Upstate forum. Looks like cool gear, and not as whacker-tastic as some of the products out there. http://www.blackhelmetapparel.com/

Hyatt's Garage did the recovery. Even though Lake Towing has the TSP contract, they do not have, nor need, the equipment to handle such large vehicles (since TYPICALLY those size rigs are not on the Parkway, lol).
