Nice shots!

Here is a good site too: http://www.auctionsinternational.com/index.htm

I agree. However, It's not first due to brush fires. This rig is first due to brush calls, then the tanker:

Please Share!

Anyway to create a separate module on the right side of the .NET homepage for just IAs? I agree they need to be taken out of the recent topics. In the case new IA's flood the shoutbox, can we now allow more shouts to be seen. Same size window, just more can be seen when you scroll down. Same theory should apply to the shoutbox, I still want to see the day's shouts before the flood of IAs. just my 2 cents.

Do Fire Departments still fill swimming pools or is this a thing of the past? How much do FD's charge?

How do you guys feel about this? Full Article from CBS Baltimore Photo From Article

I wanted to share some of my pictures of Wilton, NY’s 1944 International. Currently serving the WVFD as a brush truck, it was originally a crash truck for the U.S. military before being bought by the FD in 1948. It recently came back from being refurbished and is back as a frontline piece. It holds 500gal of water and some other forestry gear.

The Mamaroneck Mermoial Day Parade is Wednesday May 30th at 5:30pm. To participate, contact the VMFD. The Fireman's parade is still June 28th. Anyother parades?

Bump, event is this weekend. Good luck to all the participating FD's.

Nice shot! I've been on it once and it is a very well built vessel.

According to the Westchester Community College Website, they are offering an EMT-Basic course this summer. Yes-I know they do this every summer. It’s open to everyone, and there are no prerequisites. Two classes are being offered, day and night, both on the Valhalla campus: Daytime: June 25-August 15 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9-3:50pm Instructor: Stephen Nardozzi Nighttime: June 30-August 15 Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 6:30-10:05pm Instructor: Jose Prosper Course Description: There are multiple seats still open for this summer, both day and night. If completed, you would receive 5 credits from the college and a NYS EMT Cert. If you have any questions, contact the EMS Office at (914)-606-6507 For anyone who has taken an EMS course at WCC, did you enjoy it? How are the instructors?

Worked for me earlier, now it's not. Have to repost. Update: now it works but I have to refresh the page and copy & paste the info.
