Oh yeah you guys up there are very well equipped Do you guys own that snowblower or is it rented seasonally They can only dream of one where I live in Englewood Cliffs nothing for nothing we are well equipped DPW But no large Snowblower for road clearing They use the front end loader for shoulders & a. Bob cat as well btw we have a few DPW/vollies on our DPW Here's the Screwed up part out of town employees of the DPW that Volunteer in their hometowns are not allowed to be members of our Dept but there's talk of changing that

Here's their New Ford F450 4WD Horton unit 726 this am at Englewood Hospital

Wow that's a beauty!!!!!

Palisades Park Ladder 1 placed in service at 16:00 this afternoon

The palisades interstate Parkway Police and East Bergen Repel Team are looking into using drone for Repel jobs They have used NYPD Aviation units in past The inferred camera comes in handy during a Repel job

Here's Englewood Hospital & Medical Center 's unit 2007 a 1999 Ford AEV now used as a inter Hospital transport unit & training instructor equipment carrier I didn't even know we still own this unt A local vender showed the hospital a Sprinter Ambulance Demo I was told

Here's unit 2010 running as ALS 211 unsure of year (2014) E 350 rechassided unit outside of ER these units can be used as BLS or ALS units

They Anounced it over Citywide during one of the final progress reports last night that it was the first ever use of a Drone !!

Wow holy sh## that's some heavy debt

Sounds like a good idea There have been incidents where the duty company on duty (truck company) has been requested to respond to requests for ladder truck and they have gotten out quickly since they were on duty But on engine requests they 'll send the zone engine witch is the engine closest to the Dept making request They mightbe changing that's what I have been told

Fort Lee NJ received a 2017 Ford Expedition for Chief of Dept FL9 similar to the 2014 unit

Rescue replacement usually takes 3 years from what I have seen takes a lot of looking into and visits from apparatus builders looking at demos visiting other depts RIdgefield NJ's Sutphen SVI took 3 years before it made it's first trip to ridgefield Fort Lee's took about 2 years of planning and visits from 3 other manufacturers Reps I would say before bid was finally awarded I also heard the same thing about 25 year NFPA rule is getting Englewood Cliffs a new Pierce Velocity pumper

Excellent

Thanks for sharing This One hopefully a blank for Mr Ed May too if so it'll be a masterpiece Let's not forget it's going to $addle River !!!

Dept by us uses the duty company concept week to week where 1 of the 4 companies in town staffs the firehouse with a crew & 1 officers from 4 pm to6am & 7am to7am on weekends anyone on duty shift get credit toward stipend

Cost of living and owning a home pretty high in my area as well a lot of depts in our mutual aid have opened thier borders so memebers can join other Dept's (another can of worms some say)Percentage is what 1 Dept by where I live does with thier stipend system you have to be a member in good standing attend meetings most of all Calls If you do not in 2 quarters you get warning

Once they join the depts as soon as a class at fire academy opens up send them Also good in house training and drills help out Sure they can hang out but have them do house duty too cleaning up the firehouse and helping clean the apparatus if not It's Time for them to move on seen it happen here in bergen county All of the Depts are hurting

Save the date Saturday June 10th Palisades Park Wetdown for H&L 1 more details to follow

I went though the Rescue 1 picture tour very nice set up Rescue
