  1. IMO a lift assist 9X out of 10 is exactly how it sounds. That being said, unless there is trauma or underlying medical concerns it is a "good intent" call. I know some agencies allow attendants or other members w/o medicalTraining to move and lift patients. If in fact it is just helping a elderly person back into bed, can't FD or PD assist?
  2. AMEN to that!! The bottom line is alcohol will always be marketed towards underage drinkers which is a sad thing. Alcohol/Caffeine combo drinks have been around forever whether it's a traditional coffee cocktail or Red Bull/Vodka. I love an Irish Coffee myself once in a while.. But marketing these extra potent drinks towards kids is unacceptable! What's sickening is the govenment's "attack the distributor/raise awareness approach!" As so many have said, extra exposure is only helping the distributor in the long run.. Personally I believe, the money is much more effective through enforcement.. Give the $ to Law Enforcement so they can stop these bodegas or gas stations from selling it to underage kids!!!! Putting the fear of massive fines and criminal charges into peoples heads will make them think twice before contributing to this epidemic!!!
  3. Great pics! The real beauty of this truck is shown when she is lit up! Since when has Croton had a Dog Catcher, or any sort of Animal Control? I was under the impression that PD handled animal issues.
  4. The CEO is pissed that he just dropped 100 mill on Newark schools. Maybe he's taking out his frustration on FB.
  5. RIP Firefighters Kelly and Ruggerio. You are in my prayers.
  6. I agree with your ideas 100%!!! I believe the best way to find who is officer material is combination of experience, training and personal skill. When I say "personal skills," I mean communication, leadership, common sense, etc.. Unfortunately, one can have 3000 hrs of classroom and training and yet respond to a call with helmet on backwards!!!
  7. go to www.ninjavideo.net . I discovered this site a few months back and has since taken over my life! You can find any tv series from the 90's-present (movies, sports, docs as well.) its free to use, no spam/ crap and fast streaming. Most new shows/movies are in HD in including Pacific which i just watched!! Just make sure to click the red link that says open ninja video applet and leave up the window that opens in the backround. Let me know what you think!
  8. Hollaaa!!! I think we covered 94% of our calls plus 90% of mutual aid.... Were gonna beat those numbers is 2010!
  9. This just made my day! Hands down the most entertaining cop/crime series since The Shield. I was so disappointed when I head it was cancelled. It baffles me how shows such as "castle" generate so much buzz and success!!!
