A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. Top That!

IMHO, there is no reason other than ego to have an Ex-Chief's title on the back of thier turnouts. This is not a bashing of Ex-Chiefs having served as Chief from 2000-2001. My coat simply has my name on it as does all the other coats in the Department. My Officers and members know who I am and what I am capable of. If your Department has a Deputy Chiefs title and you are in the rank structure that is a different situation. I am reffering to Ex-Chiefs acting in a Firefighters position. I have no problem with serving officers having thier titles on the back of the coats. I feel it is more importent now that more and more Chiefs are getting away from the white coat and staying with the department issued color. We also see more and more Company Officers with a white helmet instead of a white helmet plaque. As there is no standardization on helmet colors for Company Officers, (Red, Yellow, White, or Black), a title on the back is acceptable. I agree on cover vests for Safety Officers, EMS Crews, and Incident Commanders. Your function can change with each incident. You may be the Safety Officer one day and on the knob the next. Wearing the vest stops you from being hands on and makes you step back one step so you can properly oversee the operation. I have seen coats that make me wonder if the person was taller, would they have more writing on the back? :angry:

Both Putnam engines are now serving in an area of Mississippi that was also hit hard by Katrina

I think he meant Weschester DES Commissioner Sutton

Maybe he likes to buff jobs

Durring the winter we store the ice rescue sled on the Rescue Truck. The rest of the year is is behind the Rescue along the wall. The gumby suits are always on the Rescue. Right now, our Rescue is out for maintance and the sled and suits are on the Utility. One of our Ambulances will respond with the Utility to provide a "changing room". Normally the Utility would have the boat in the back (inflatable) but right now it has too much rescue stuff.

PHC stopped calling Carmel Fire for A LZ engine a couple of years ago. Now they only respond on request of the helicopter crew.

A drink that turns people on............hmmmmmm..............I thought that was called Wine

Mahopac used to have a 1970 Dodge-Gowans/Knight with a 550 GPM Front ount Darley Pump. It was donated to the Inlet Fire Department in Hamilton County.

Check out the forums at www.youngstownfire.com. They have a section devoted to all the apparatus colors possible

Usually about a dozen rigs and all the usual vendors(Tee Shirts galore). All the major manufacturers have a display now. It's a nice day to see whats new out there and a nice break for the winter. Don't forget later this year (September?) NYSAFC will be having a show at Hofstra

Check out www.NIMSonline.com. It has everything you ever wanted to know about NIMS and more

DJ Leadly Catering in Brewster or Christophers in Mahopac. You can't beat either of thier cocktail hour setups.

That was for a School Bus Dispatcher in the Haldane School Dstrict. The Announcement for Emergency Services Dispatcher hasn't been posted yet. I was just going with what I have heard

Look for Putnam County to hold a test on that day also. remember you can cross file and your 1 test can cover several counties

Mahopac's 1976 Oskosh/LTI was traded in to Nichols Fire Apparatus in 2002 wen we got our new E-One. They immediatly sold it to the Kingsbury Fire Company in Washington County as part of a pre-arranged deal. It is still in service up there. I am waiting for a recent photo so I can post it here. I believe Winnona Lake got thiers as a temporary truck when thier old one broke down and thier new one was still in the process. Thats why the truck was white/red instead of thier cream color. I believe it was traded in on thier new ladder and is now in th eused market out thier somewhere. Someone from Orang County may be able to elaborate.

New update, High Wind Advisory for midnight to 5pm Sunday. Sustained winds 25-35mph with gusts over 50mph.

Minor warranty issues blown way out of proportion. Our rig has been iservice since April with no REAL issues.

I believe U-48 is the designation given to one of the Chiefs vehicles when used for first responder EMS calls
