pictured here is also our 35 seagraves which is currently awaiting restoring and is at New England Fire Equipment in CT. awaiting more grant $$$$$$.

Here are some of her when she was in service. Brand new

Man I just hope the guy that has it will be resonable so me and the Signman can get her back.

Not many people like this out there today, nice to see someone actually doing the right thing, Great job Eric!

Yes you do; we talked about while on our joy ride on 45 the other day, didn't want to name the dept here on an open forum.

A special on the great Chicago fire is on the Weather channel right now, came on @ 9 PM EST until 10 PM

got busy with a PDAA so that ended the TV viewing.

Watching a show that is work related!!!!

Joe sounds like it was going to a call, had the reds on and siren. There is a video and story on emsresponder.com

A sample as to what I was talking about (generic assignment). Recently a district was down an engine, the Chief made a generic assignment to replace this engine, and when the dept was dispatch for an AFA the replacement engine would have to travel about 8 miles and was dispatched, even though another dept was less than 2 miles away from the incident scene. Makes no sense . Please take the time to setup the assignment so that the citizens are provided the most efficient reponse possible, it's not rocket science!!!!!!

Yeah that's what we have been told

Yes Paul, it went ok, practice practice practice, one of our members actually got the rope twisted around one wrist and got the hands to high, this got corrected quickly with the safety belay line and the window spotter. I really liked the petzl kit the best, it seemed much more flexible, the only con is the cost factor, to me that should not be an issue, but when you have a small budget it becomes one. We most likely will try to use a grant fo the purchase.

Hey a members picture thread actually could be a good thing, nice to put a picture to name of the members here.

Could this be the start of the official EMTBRAVO member's picture thread???? How the years pass by.

I forgot one, this is Frank helping out Wassaic Firefighter Cyndi Butts who is attempting this for the first time, Good job Cyndi!!!!!

Would have had more pics but the weather didn't help, looks like the weather will be no better for you tomorrow either, enjoy the class.

The class was excellent, we also got some instruction on different systems and the pros and cons of them, thanks also to Bob Jenks from Millerton and Mount Vernon FD's for his demo on the Petzl system

Here Here, exactly, to many times trying to find the IC is like looking through one of those Where's Waldo books.

the last three before the camera went back away because of the rain. oops Aaron lost his helmet!

a few more

Happy B/D, hopefully many more to come!

Signman in rehab, Hey what's in that jug??

Here's an old newspaper clipping from the Harlem Valley times.
