  1. What are the specs????
  2. Can anyone give me a clue as to what books are good to use for studying for the enterance exam
  3. You will have to file with both White Plains Civil Service (March 15) is the deadline to file. You would then have to goto Westcher County Civil Service fill out an app. (This would be cross filing) You should be able to take it at either test site. Once you get the acceptance letters I would then call and make sure you are able to go to either site.
  4. How is this unit to be utilized????
  5. If you want ansswers to the questions about the exam. 1. check the exam announcment. 2 Go to a recruiting station. 3. Call the number associated with taking exam.
  6. This would be great. Easier to use my buddy passes. Going out of LGA or JFK can well just be a pain:D
  7. Looks like they do not schedule far in advance. Only goes a couple of months. Try calling.
  8. What about sponsering an event and too much booze is served anf that person gets into an accident and decides to seek legal action. The Dept/Town would propbably be named. So using money from the dept would not be wise. HAve the guys wack it up.
  9. You want to relax go on vacation. That is a terrible excuse.
  10. The only time I see this as being a problem is when you are working and take pictures. I do not want to mention people whom I have seen show up at a fire and instead of doing their job they are taking pictures. I have witnessed this with both PD and EMS
  11. I think you are right about the size of the Haz-Mat for FDNY. I think they only have one and it responds from the ROCK.
  12. Give em the extrication tools/speedy dry/ and water then the FD would not have to go on the pkwy/hwys. Don't fprget a place for the stretcher.
  13. Seth too bad the saleperson didn't get a commission since he seemed like the nicest person you saw that day. I think all members should avoid that dealership since they don't treat people fairly. I also bought a vehicle from Croton and they are very friendly. Also having used their Service Dept for routine maintence of my vehicle I would highly recommend them since they promise you car on time and go over everything they want to do to the vehicle and the reasons why they are necessary.
  14. Also have to watch out for those larger telephone poles
  15. This is always a topic of contention but here is another spin on it. How about belonging to 2 professions/Unions and when they are ready to lay people off. How many FF step up and say hey brother this is you main income I will get laid off rather than you. Something to think about?????
  16. I remember a thread that discussed this awhile back.
  17. Great Question if they get hit what about the vehicle that hit them. Why didn't that vehicle yield to the emergency vehicle? Also the vehicle that went into the intersection should use as much cation as possible. As an officer I try to instruct my drivers to stay left as most vehicles want to yield to the right.
  18. It must be nice when it works but like anything else once it breaks will it be fixed.
  19. I think the video is funny but some people will say things just to put the fear into peoples mind.
  20. Does the article say when they started the research. It is possible that the person was working on an article but it didn't go to print until recently. I could see this for one article but not both. I do agree that the journal news is more of a journal opinion than anything else.
  21. Just remember the responsibilities of having a CDL. CDL holders are held to a higher standard with Blood Alcohol Content. Here is the link http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/broch/c39.htm
  22. I couldn't agree with you more. How about drinking out of a chief's car in a parking lot. What does that say......
  23. White Plains Incident sent the tank into a neighborhood first responders asked dispatch to contact West Co Airport to see if they had a plane down. Yonkers Incident: A doctor was driving south on CPA by Bouulder creek and crashed into a tanker that was turning by the underpass (used to be a turn around that is no longer because of the incident)
  24. Don't forget you have to have more time on the roof than santa
