Thanks v much for the feedback! Very insightful. I will do more work to find out

Thanks. And is it possible to do driver or attendant only with less training? With my full time job, it could be difficult to take the EMT-B course.

Hi All, I am considering volunteering as an EMT and was curious about whether I can just take a local EMT course and then choose which agency I'd like to volunteer for, or if I should do it vice versa. I believe the way it works is that you pay out of pocket for the course, but there is reimbursement is available upon joining a local team. Can anyone confirm this and give me advice as to whether I should consider first choosing an agency instead? Thanks! cfman

Supposedly Hawthorne has a "snow standby" tonight starting @ 9PM. Can anyone explain what this means?

Seems like a lot of construction is underway at the Heathcote Five Corners. The old Scarsdale VAC building appears to be a construction company's "base" and further down Weaver Street (across from Big Top, Amore Pizza, etc), they have totally flattened the land as if they're going to build something there. Anyone know the exact details of the development here? It's going to be a traffic nightmare.

Get well - may God be with you.

God bless you & your family, friends, & the YFD. You make the world a better place.

Here's a video I put together a while back. I posted it to this site last year. If it gets promoted to page 1, Break.com pays a cash prize. I will ensure that the cash prize is donated directly to a fund for September 11th victims. In any event, please watch the video & remember. All those who serve us should be blessed. http://www.break.com/usercontent/2008/9/se...get-567520.html

Thanks for your bravery & service. Get well. God bless.

Wow. Interested in knowing if anyone knows anything further...they even switched at least one train off those tracks due to the incident.

Anyone aware of anything going on at the Bronxville train station? At around 6:15PM there were multiple PD units as well as FD and an FD supervisor at the end of the platform. Seems like there may have been an injured person, although the response seemed a bit overkill for just that.

If you're looking for customized ones, I own a company that produces these along with many other custom-printed items. Send me a PM so we can work out the details. RK

I saw a post from a while back about New Rochelle's 30A3 ambulance. For a short time, I used to see it quite often in the driveway at Station 5 (E25's home), but I no longer see it there.Where is this unit stationed, and what's its designated area currently? Is it operating 24x7? Thanks.
