  3. 100% Stay in school. I had the same mindset when I was younger. Now im in college, and im loving every second of it. You will think otherwise in a couple of years. Yes, college isn't for everyone but when your looking for work, it gives you a couple of brownie points. If you are looking for resident firefighting programs, I'd look into the Colorado Mountain College- Fire Service Technology Degree. Part of the program runs you with Eagle River Fire Protection Districtor Vail Fire Department as an Intern Resident Firefighter. I would also highly recomendSt. Micheals College(Colchester, VT). St Michael's Fire Rescue is a great program. More local to our tristate area, I believe Purchase FD offers housing to volunteers if they attend SUNY Purchase or Manhattanville College. Its not a resident program but it gives a you a place to live in return for your service for the community.
  4. It will be a Spartan chasis with a Gowans Knight body.
  5. This seams like an awesome program. Like an explorer post, but better. Full Cadet Job Description Las Vegas Metro Police Department Cadet Guide

  10. To answer your question... No. In 1996, then Governor George Pataki issued an Executive Order prohibiting the New York State Police from using unmarked vehicles to conduct routine traffic stops. Governors Spitzer, Paterson and Cuomo, have since kept the executive order in effect. S289-2009: Prohibits the use of unmarked police vehicles to routinely stop motorists for vehicle and traffic law violations, with exceptions
  11. That explains it. Why would norwalk need a tanker anyway? Besides, those photos look old.

  13. I could be wrong but aren't healthcare providers required to get the flu shot? Or is it just highly recommended?

  19. IMO, the same points you make about the availabilty of a rescue, is the same about the availability of a tanker. I'm sure a lot of thought was put into this purchase. Bedford Fire Department
