The change supprised me when I signed on. It looks good but being a creature of habit it will take some time before making my final decesion

You could just say "I'm Batman!"

The Dispatcher would acknowledge the message with "Recieved, on the scene working fire" and dispatch the proper assignment. Durring the incident is not when mistakes are pointed out unless it is a safety issue.

Why do you have the Inspections in the fall? If the purpose is to get the rigs claen and ready for something, why not have them in the spring when you can clean the winter dirt off the rigs and get them ready for parade season.

Most of the Medics transferred over from Alamo. I know Medic 3 changed his shirt at 0600 hours.

Recieved-LMNOP

Why is it always the Dispatchers fault? We are the ones who know what the codes mean. See the post from HCFRFF who dosen't know what the code is for apparatus out of service. As for being more proffessional, see my earlier post regarding sounding buffy on the radio. Rattling off 10-8, 10-19, 10-?? does in now way sound proffessional. Giving clear concise (sp?) information sounds proffessional.

You can add Putnam County to the list for the same test. http://www.putnamcountyny.com/personnel/Ex...15%20OC%20W.pdf

75/33 The original Animal House

The old firehouse on Fair St is now the Knights of Columbus hall. You can still see where the bay doors were. The current firehouse on Route 52 was origianlly a Grand Union which moved to the Putnam Plaza shopping center in the late 70's

Could you enlighten those of us in the non Cablevision world Please?

VETO MESSAGE: VETO MESSAGE - No. 365 TO THE SENATE: I am returning herewith, without my approval, the following bill: Senate Bill Number 3741-A, entitled: "AN ACT to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to the retirement of state, county, municipal and affiliated employer 911 operators" NOT APPROVED This bill would amend the Retirement and Social Security Law to estab- lish an optional 25-year retirement plan for emergency 911 operators and dispatchers. Under the bill, a public employer could elect to provide such a plan, which would provide its 911 personnel with a half-pay pension at the completion of 25 years of service. All costs associated with the plan would be borne by the employer over a five or ten year period. The fiscal note attached to the bill estimates that participat- ing employers would face increased annual pension costs of 2.1% of the affected members' salaries, as well as a one-time prior service cost. The bill would take effect on January 1, 2007. While I appreciate the dedicated and important service of the emergen- cy 911 operators and dispatchers, I am constrained to disapprove the bill based on the objection of the New York State Association of Coun- ties, which contends that the new pension benefits proposed by the bill would result in increased pension costs for local governments and, ulti- mately, for taxpayers. For this reason, I vetoed similar legislation in 2001, See Veto No. 58 of 2001. ___ The bill is disapproved. (signed) GEORGE E. PATAKI __________ This is the 4th or 5th time Gov Pataki has vetoed the 25 year retirement bill for 911 dispatchers. Originally he vetoed the bill because of disparity between NYC 911 and the rest of the state. Now it is because of the cost to the counties. We are the first First Responders to any incident and should be treated equally to the other Emergency Servies that already have 20 or 25 year retirerment. Right now I only have age 62 to look forward to. I hope that next year the new Governor will look more favorably at our situation..

Nelsonville FD was a Village FD. They closed thier doors several years ago. The Village of Nelsonville nows pays the Village of Cold Spring for fire protection.

Erin & I would like to thank everybody for thier kind thoughts. We are currently in FLA at a certain Mouse's house and having a great time. We already ran into 3 NY'ers. We'll be checking in occasionally with Bravo. See you next week when we get back Edward J

That would be a specialty beverage, Sam Adams Rehydrating Lager

Comments like this add nothing to the dicussion

Mahopac will be there. First in the 3rd Division I think. I know it is toward the back.

Mahopac has a FAS Team dispatched on 2nd Alarm (which is any working structure fire). We will use either Mohegan or Brewster depending on which side of the district the call is on

For most computer problems, including the CAD system at work, i find this the most usefull remedy.

Maybe Brewer Fire Engine Company. I think thats Monsey in Rockland

All I can say is..........

BFD and 11-5-1 assisted FDNY Ladder 6 with a funeral for a Ladder 6 member who was killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack.

NOT A CHANCE IN H*LL!!!!!!!!!!
