Does anyone know if they are still around. I went looking for their website tonight and could not find it.

Getting back on topic, How did they secure the victims? I am assuming a "horse collar" would slip over their heads and under their arms. Ho do they secure it so the vic dosent slip out?

Did you expect anything diferent?

Out of the frying pan and into the fire!

Not if I can help it! Sorry, no use for PTOTSS (Part Time Over Time Stealing Sc*m) Sorry for the rant but this is my carear and I hate having people using it as a "second" job

It's not just LEO, as of today there have been 11 FF died in the line of duty already this year (24 days old). Not a good pace to be setting

Trust me, it has a long wheelbase and turned like crap. We have it's twin still in service (Scheduled to be replaced this year). Here is a couple older in service pictures

Mahopac VFD has an AED in each Chief's car and on all 1st Due apparatus with the exception of the Rescue Truck. We got 5 AED's in 2004 on an AFG Grant. The Board approved buying 3 more AED's last year to be 100% AED equipped including the Fire Police Van amd the Bikepath Gator.

Was this the Hickman Building or Guideposts? Picture 2 looks like Ex-Captain Hank Schleicher from Mahopac Eng Co. 3. Nice to see CArmels old Oren Ladder before it got Lyme Disease

So if WEMS dispatches Somers from the Somers firehouse, why does 60-Control dispatch the 45 Medics which I believe are WEMS?

Fire Districts are another political subdivision of the government. In NYS Cities, Villages and Fire Districts can provide fire protection. Town cannor provide fire protection on their own and have to contract with an independent Fire Company or a Village or Fire District to cover a predesignated area (Fire Protection District). It gets so confusing there is actually now a course at the Fire Academy in Montour Falls to explain it all (Legal Considerations for Volunteer Fire Departments). It's run by Mark Butler for teh Buffalo area and is a real eye opener as to who is the famous "Authority Having Jursidiction" or AHJ. In the case of Freeport, they are a Village Fire Department and have to answer to the Mayor and Village Board
