  1. Pretty cool mixup. I'm happy the Dept. will be getting their money...sounds like they rely heavily on fundraising campaigns. PVFD Website (Taken from PVFD's website)Also, Pleasantville FD (NY) does not provide Emergency Medical Services to its residents...Pleasantville VAC does.
  2. I glad that your father is alive and well.
  3. Daniels Auto Body is very very very close on the D side of the building. These building might actually only be a few inches apart.

  6. RIP. God Bless you and may your family, friends, and co-workers stay strong.
  7. Tanscare provides medics for Sleepy Hollow. During the day, 37-Medic-2 covers Sleepy Hollow and some other parts of Mount Pleasant. During the night , there is no 37-Medic-2 so 37-Medic-1 covers all of Mount Pleasant including Sleep Hollow. These cars do not respond from Mount Pleasant Police HQ. Often times, 37-Medic-2 responds from the reservation. Often times, the 36 Medic is used for Mutual Aid to Mount Pleasant when the 37 Medics are tied up on jobs. The added incentives for covering calls on the reservation is complete BS IMHO...the county should consider looking into making sure the incentives are going to the agencies that do the calls on the reservation, and not just to the agencies that have the reservation in their jurisdiction.
  8. Very unusual...nice shots.
  9. Stacked for more volume. Master streams need high volume water flow.
  10. Tragic event...thoughts and prayers are with all effected. http://www.wthr.com/...ate-fairgrounds http://www.indystar....pse?odyssey=mod http://www.cnn.com/2...apse/index.html
  11. Beautiful story about what sounds to be an truly amazing child. God Bless her and her strong parents. Enjoy life to the fullest everyday and may you have many more happy birthdays ahead of you.
  12. Rest In Peace Brother! May God watch over you and your family, friends, and department.
  13. You bring up a great point. I'm by no means saying what happened was not a tragedy but from past experiences, canceling the show could have cause more problems. We have all seen stories about mobs and riots that are sparked by spectators not getting what they hoped for or paid for. Who know how many more lives could have been lost in mass pandemonium.
  14. LoHud Terrible wording in this article. It is amazing that the press continues to get the story wrong. He did not drive out of the lot...he drove at a LEO in the lot.

  16. #6 - No one likes that a kid died...no one likes when anyone dies, but I sure as hell strongly support an Officer taking someone's life if they are a threat to the public or fellow Officers. I'd much rather a drunk kid who hits a P.O and will potential strike other P.O's and/or bystanders die then the brave men and women who wake up in the morning to patrol our town, villages, cities etc, and who put their lives in harms way to protect the residents. #7 - Recognition or a medal was not given to P.O Hess to congratulate him for shooting and killing someone. Recognition was given for P.O. Hess ending a major threat to the public and his fellow P.O.'s. I am not a P.O. but IMHO I highly doubt that any P.O. wants to have to fatally injure someone. P.O.'s are sworn in to protect the public and as I said before they wake up in the morning to potentially have to put their lives on the line to protect people whom they do not personally know. If taking a life is necessary to ensure that the life taken did not potentially take other lives while operating a deadly weapon (car) while intoxicated, then that is what needed to be done. #8 - Are you kidding me? You truly feel that the P.O's on scene should have jumped in their cars and started a pursuit (potentially a high speed pursuit) with a drunk inexperienced driver? First off, PPD and MPPD both have no pursuit policies (to the best of my knowledge, correct me if I am wrong). You clearly do not know the layout of the land surrounding where this incident took place. There is very little room for P.O.'s to perform a successful pit maneuver. If DJ Henry had gotten away and pursued, he could have gone in any of three directions. 1) Straight onto Garrigan Ave, leading him into a very dense residential area with only 90 degree turns with little time to slow down if traveling at high speeds. Chances are, DJ would have wrapped around a utility pole or went into a house, potentially killing himself and even worse killing others. 2) Left onto Broadway, leading him down towards a major four way intersection with two gas station located on opposite corners. Chances are, DJ would have crashed into one of these gas stations potentially causing one of the 6 gas pumps to explode, killing himself, pursuing P.O.'s and innocent civilians. 3) Right onto Broadway, leading him down a long stretch of road that is very inviting to high speeds but is very unforgiving of high speeds and is also lined on each side with houses. Chances are, DJ would have (like many others) run into a tree or utility pole at high speeds killing himself. If he for someone reason missed a tree or a utility pole, he would have most likely crashed into a house, potentially killing himself and innocent civilians. Allowed DJ to get away behind the wheel of a vehicle while drunk, would have most likely led to tragedy for not only himself but for innocent civilians and pursuing P.O.'s I respect you decision and props for speaking your mind knowing that you would meet heavy opposition. Be good.
