Capt my thoughts exactly, although the final reports will conclude more but what has been reported it seems that this may have been prevented. Another sad day for the us again, RIP LT. Borkin

Sure thing Craig, I will see what Signman's schedule is and see if we can find a common date, should be fun.

From close to 60 to 7"+ in 24 hours, what's this Wisconsin?????

Hmm Post #102 doesn't have any spelling mistakes

I thought it was Hartford, I spelled it right, just got the location wrong, 50 lashes.

I don't have any recent ones but me and the signman may be taking a day trip to Hartford to look at it again, you up for a ride?????

Is this the rig is question? picture from Verplanck's website http://www.verplanckfd.com/Apparatus.php

This one is very good along with EMI, Emergency Management Institute and the Independent Study Program you can't go wrong, they offer the NIMS training also. http://training.fema.gov/IS/ http://training.fema.gov/IS/crslist.asp http://training.fema.gov/IS/NIMS.asp

PCFD did you see that we are currently starting the project on the 35 Seagraves that we had obtained from Port Chester??? The FWD is not far at all, it is in the Beekman Fire District just over the line from Pawling so about 20 minutes or so from Wassaic.

We have a lowboy trailer lined up Thanks to Chief elect Boardman and the guy is on vacation next week so all looks good for a special home delivery for next week

That is correct, it is called Blended FFI

Wow, putting Wassaic on the map one post at a time, thanks to all and to the site for giving us that"have to much time on our hands" a place to spend that time.

Nice shots, glad you shared them, man I love the look of the Village of Fishkill ladder, great color scheme.

The nice thing about the rig is that everything that left with it is still on it, something like the hose obviously is no good but the straight tip 2 1/2" nozzles, fire extinguishers, ladders and on and on are still on it, helps out greatly.

Ok well next fall please remember to post it up on upcoming events, I am looking forward to it, maybe we might have our 49 FWD running and ready for some muster work.

Chief any pictures of the rig you are talking about???? Love to see them.

Wow so close to home and I haven't heard about in awhile, I remember going there several years ago but for some reason I thought it had stopped, I'll make sure I get there in 2009, thanks Andrew.

I guess you weren't finished, some even better shots, thanks for sharing Andrew, is this an annual event???

Excellent shots of the rigs of yester year, love the white Seagraves, sharp!!!!

I went over to see my father-in-law this morning, he is a WWII vet and he talked about this day and all that were lost on this historic day in USA history. Exactly what he said was that so many of us have forgotten that day, just like it never happened.

Are you donating the paint????

Any information that anyone may have regarding a federal bid contract versus a state or county bid. We are trying to purchase a vehicle that is on a federal bid contract and our district lawyer has told us that we (nys fire district) cannot buy off of a federal bid and that we can only use a state or county bib. The vehicle in question is a B.R.A.T made by Firematic Supply in NYS. The B.R.A.T. is now available via GSA Contract #GS30F0028U. Any help or information or past dealings that anyone may have had would be greatly appreciated. Below is the link to the B.R.A.T and GSA information. http://www.firematic.com/brat.htm Thanks, Mark

Well good??? we re bringing it home to see what needs to be done to it, there are alot of guys that can do various things to it without any labor costs so if it looks as though we can manage it then the company will keep it, if not then a few of us will gladly take possession of it.
