There is a Metro North yard there

He used his personal e-mail address. Unfortunatly, like many of us, his e-mail address refernces his position. I use EJS1810@XYZ.com ( ). If you know me, you know what 1810 means (18-1-0) and that identifies where I am from. It in no way is an "Official" e-mail address. If Tom used his Village or Fire Department e-mail address it would be different. Just like the poster I am replying to, DaveTFD, his post is not an official post from a member of the Tarrytown Fire Department. A lot of us use our department name in our screen names or e-mail addresses.

For the benifit and education of members not from Dutchess, could you elaborate further on what this change is please. Is this related to the report I have heard about DC-911 no longer transmitting on 46.360?

But how will it look in Blue?

Look? or Act?

So the city is now crying the budget woes and wants to "close" companies. Why are they spending 10's of Thousands of Dollars to change the signs for the Verrazano Narrows Bridge to the Robert F Kennedy Memorial Bridge. Hey Mike! Prioritize!

They have to be, it's on the side of all NYPD RMP's

But you can only use your screen name!

You mean "Fox News, All Bush all the time". Fox News is the closest thing the Republican Party has for a Press Secretary. BTW, i just woke up and scanned all the headlines. Where are all the riots? I thought America as we know it was going to end last night if we elected Obama.

While it is good to see the vest, It should not be worn while activly engaged in supression due to it's flamibility. Everyone not involved in supression should have one on.

Unfortunatly (sp) as a government employee, that provision of the FLSA does not apply to us. On another note, I did work the "7 Hour tour" back in March and I got paid for 8 so it all works out in the end

And I will be working 9 hours and getting paid for only 8

In that train of thought, what do you do about the approximamtly 25 FF who die each year responding or returning from calls who are not wearing a seatbelt or driving too fast for conditions in apparatus that should not be on the road. What about the 10-20 FF who die each year in training mishaps? What about the FF who die because their leadership failed them and sent them in a place they shouldn't be in? I feel a LODD is any FF who dies doing the job, no matter what job s/he is doing. We can't start micro-managing the criteria.

To locate the Command Post I look for the most antennas

I receive LODD notifications from the US Fire Administration (USFA). When they give the notification, the following disclaimer appears at the botton of each one: To date, XX firefighter fatalities have been reported to USFA in 2008 as a result of incidents that occurred in 2008. USFA does not have a Line-of-Duty-Death (LODD) criterion nor does it make LODD determinations. Please note, running totals of firefighter fatalities used on these initial notices do not necessarily reflect the number of firefighter fatalities used in totals for the (provisional) monthly year-to-date USFA firefighter fatality reports, or year-end (provisional) reports posted online It appears there is no "official" criteria. LODD is a "local" decision
