From NBC's Mark Murray Reuters: "The 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant, Palin said Monday in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child. Bristol Palin, one of Alaska Gov. Palin's five children with her husband, Todd, is about five months pregnant and is going to keep the child and marry the father, the Palins said in a statement released by the campaign of Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

And of course the Columbia County on-line scanner feed was down today. I heard Milan go out and went to put it on to listen and got nothing. :angry:

After my partner at work did some research we have a new appreciation for the VP candidate This was taken from the web, not photoshopped

Didn't Peekskill replace the Pierce becuase of major issues with the truck?

Putnam is one of the counties not as advanced in communications as Dutchess. We do not have the state MCI frequency. We have the basics, 340, 280, 220, and 205.

Do you mean like Local 107, 293, 294 or 628?

So i'm sure everyone wore thier SCBA, ...................Right

I got an e-mail today from DES about a Turbo-Draft demonstration on September 10th. I have seen information about the Turbo-Draft before and am interested in getting more information. I thought there was a discussion on it's pros & cons on Bravo befoe but I did a search and came up with nothing. Is anyone using them and how well do they work?

"One of 3 ladder trucks in the County". Sounds like it will see a lot of work. What other departments in Greene County have ladders? I think Catskill has one, but who else? do you get alot of M/A from Hudson (Columbia county)?

On a slightly related topic, why is Fire Patrol closed?

yes, every so often they change things around- so if you went 3-4 yrs ago go again cause it's all new now

So that's my wife's excuse for the credit card bill.

The reporter from the Journal news got there Saturday just as the decesion was made to "Bug-Out" (evacuate the training center) do to the incoming storm. I don't think she had a camera with her. There should be pictures up on www.LCFD.com later this week

I still think it looks better in red.

I'm going straight up when I'm done here.

I was not Monday Morning QBing on my original post. I have been in the emergency services for 30 years and have been in communications for 12. I will reiterate what I posted: Members giving updates need to paint an accurate picture of what they have. The term "Fully involved" is used too often and usually incorrectly. Working fire, yes, fully involved. no. Based on the IA and the pictures I offered my opinion. It was not a bash or MMQB
