Starting off from Putnam County Lake Carmel FD Chief Rob Shannon (3rd generation Chief) 1st Asst. Ed Schaefler Jr 2nd Asst. Jim Hauth (Brother of out going Chief Rich Hauth) Congratualations to all winners!

My condolences to the family of FF/Sgt. Engeldrum. Also injuried in the same vehicle was FF Dan Swift L-43 Harlem and a member of Lake Carmel VFD. He is being airlifted to Germany. Newsday reports that Baldwin LI Volunteer FF Wilfredo Urbina was also killed in the same attack

What was burning? Brush?, Cars?

Res20cue, Whats the latest on E-185, was it accepted? any Photos? We are going for tool mounting next week and shuld have the new 18-2-3 by the first week in December.

Getting back to this "fire is doubtfull", it seems to be used a lot lately and dosent always jive with what I hear on scanner/radio or read here. It was used today at the katonah fire and 10 minutes later the IC was giving a 10-30 which I believe means under control. I wasnt there so I can only comment on what I hear or read. If it means that it is doubtful that the fire can be contained with the present units, how can the fire be under control 10 minutes later without additional alarms. Lets throw that out there and see what happens..................

Short for It is doubtful that the fire will be placed under control anytime soon

I believe it was an Executive Order and only applies to State Police Vehicles

Dear George, Pedro asks "Who's YOUR Daddy?" Oh by the way, the Curse has been transferred to the Evil Empire. See you in 86 years Larry Lucciano and the 2004 World Champion Boston Red Sox

Oh, you mean paid guys

Winter Uniform? Do you mean long sleeve tee shirts?

Everyone here keeps thinking that Police with blue lights will help the fire service. What will happen is that the right to display blue lights will end. NYS law says Emergency Vehiles can have red lights.. If they give the blue light to the police, we will lose our lights.

Us Mets fans are used to not playing in October, Now we have company

Excuse me, I hear the fat lady warming up

NYS passed a law about two years ago giving exclusive use of blue lights to Volunteer Firefighters. Since then many Police Departments in the area have continued to use blue lights in violation of the law. They are now trying to get legislation passed to allow police cars to use blue lights in secondary lighting. The light bar on the new WCPD car is 100% illegal. If I may borrow a quote that my boss Putnam County Sheriff Donald B Smith used in his election campaign, "Those that enforce the law should obey the law"
