Love those black and white photos, thanks for sharing

I got something mixed up, trying to fix it

Well time will tell with that, enjoy the service they give while you have them, we'd love to have a 1/3 of the crew you have.

Rob looks like you got the interest of the Putnam crews, good work, hope to make this one.

Doing some pre planning for you, now get that call out!

thanks for sharing, very nice shots.

All kidding aside, you guys are very lucky to have such a large pool of young members that are coming together as a pretty damn good team I must say. I enjoy watching them from my persective both at incidents scene and when they're hanging at the station.

RIP Inspector MacIssac, thoughts and prayers are with the PFD and the MacIssac family

Easy there Chief.

A few more examples of roof overs. This is obvious And two more, a steep pitch and an older "Sears" type metal roof over.

Here is an example of an older unit that has been updated with a roof over, siding, windows and doors. By looking at it, it would appear to be a newer unit, but it actually is a 1974 unit with the tin roof still under the new roof. So these are not what they appear to be as well. This one happens to be my tindominium.

Brain I was just on the site above and was coming here to post it, you beat to it and as you said Again, a GREAT JOB by The Milan FD limiting the spread of fire.

Here you go Jay.

I like that one Dan,"tindominiums", mine is paid for

x129k picked up my hoodie, thanks Dan, great product!!!!

There is no cost for anyone that attends and a certificate will be issued. Instructor for the day will be Craig Elderkin or fdny2817 here on EMTBRAVO. Send me a PM if you want to attend, help out for the day or have a question. You may also just tell me in the thread. ALL are welcome, however I would like to know if you are coming so we can have an approximate total for lunch.

As a reminder or for those members that did not see it, class starts at 9 am, hope to see you there.

I keep mine right inside my helmet, under the webbing.
