Yorktown got best ladder. Thats all I can remember........

hell of a time guys, thanks for putting on an awesome time!

I'm wondering the same thing, dispatch came in as all available man power to HQ for West Harrison, and Tanker 9 to relocate

http://cms.firehouse.com/content/article/a...amp;sectionId=4 not sure where I stand on this issue....he used to be a seasonal wildland firefighter, so I guess he sort of knew what he was doing, but it still brings up major controversy.

My feeling is if you don't drive like an idiot going lights and sirens, then you have no worries...stop at the intersections, look, and then go. I could have sworn that it was a little law called due regard. If you have this great number of vehicle crashes, instead of looking around the problem, why not go back and review the departments policy on driver training, the personal driver's training and then modify it to better standards then what you had before.

The New York State Police Trooper test results have been placed online. Results will not be mailed out or emailed to you. http://www.nytrooper.com/ click on the link above the notice.

Exact same score as me...im 2926 though

yep...any idea how many they are looking to hire?

The system on our rescue, is pressurized from the system at the firehouse and stored in large tanks in the truck. As for filling the bottles, it works exactly the same.

We have an adapter connection for the SCUBA that hooks into the permanent SCBA connection, and the system is exactly the same.

This Wednesday is the YHEC #1 annual fireman's parade and from Wednesday to Sunday, carnival. The parade kicks off at 7pm and the carnival opens following the completion of the parade. Hope to see you all there. On a side note, if you plan on entering the bull pen after the parade, bring your ID no matter who you are, chief or rookie, 90 or 21. No underage drinking will be allowed, and the practice will be followed strictly.

Yeah, from what I was told, it was put out on the invitation, but I just want to make sure every knows its being taken seriously here.

whooooaaaa lol, hold up on the chief talk

Parade line up is on Paine st (parallel to Hanover st) It then turns onto Hanover and Moseman heading north on Hanover St (the new St. Patricks Church) Goes north until Underhill Ave, then turns left on Underhill passing the highway department and basketball courts from there it turns right onto Commerce street passing by railroad park, turns left onto Commerce street (at the firehouse) and continues to Veterans rd make the right onto Veterans for another 1/8 of a mile and it ends at the rear entrance to the fire house The carnival is held directly behind our firehouse at 1916 Commerce St.

yes, but when you need to be photographed and your natural hair needs to be shown, wearing a wig is not an option

if only it became true

it's probably already been touched, but how can you properly photograph a felony suspect for records if he/she is wearing a wig? It doesn't make any sense to me if you're thinking that way. If there was no parading of her around, and she was processed and the wig kept with her personal belongings, how have the police done anything wrong?

Yorktown Heights Has: - 15 Scuba divers with the capabilities of putting all of them in the water at the same time - All Divers are certified Advanced Open Water with Dry Suit through PADI and DR1 as well Med Diver through Dive Rescue International - Since any water moving faster than 4 knots is an impossible dive operation we saw the need to become trained in Swift Water and Flood Water Rescue - 2 Members Trained as Swift Water Trainers through Dive Rescue International - 5 Members trained up to Swift Water Technician - Will have an additional 10 members trained to Swift Water Technician by July - The whole Team trained to Swift Water Specialists by August - We operate with MA-8 pulling the Dive Trailer; allowing us to be independent of the firefighting apparatus not take any of the front line out of service in lieu of extended operations - We Send Rescue 16 with us for the Cascade in extended dive ops - Have a Zodiac inflatable with Engine - We use the I.A.D.R.S. fitness requirements, annual waterman ship test and Scuba review, this test ensures we are NFPA compliant. - All members must pass to stay on the team, as well as our own “harassment” test to ensure competency and comfort in less than perfect conditions as well as a team bonding exercise. If you have any questions or want to BS about anything water related you can contact Dive Capt. Swart or Dive Lt.

Quoted from NYS DOH EMS BLS Protocols - it classifies the patient as a "major trauma" patient, and to contact ALS if availble http://www.health.state.ny.us/nysdoh/ems/p...majortrauma.pdf

1) Yourself -> team 2) I'd be willing to bed a truckload that its truss, and in that case, going back to your first question, would it have even been possible to complete or attempt a primary search without seriously putting the FF lives in jeopardy.

I'm going to guess that even if they had made a pre-plan of getting off in a hurry, that was their only option since the other ways out were collapsing around them.

horses at sea world?....something seems fishy

The comments people are leaving are hysterical

quit a week or so ago because of this...for the best, in more ways then one I suppose.
