    Accuweather.com states that there may be a good chance that the northern lights will be visible in upstate NY, and New England.
    They are also predicting that this could possibly interfere with some radio communications.
    I posted a link to Accuweather.com's discussion. If it does not work, simply google search. Or accuweather.com.

    I would imagine that the lights on the tip are probably recessed into the later to prevent them from being crushed. If not, I'm sure they are not that much $ to replace

    Just wondering what your department does for chimney fires.
    Auto Mutual Aid? Special Tactics that YOUR DEPT has found work better than others?
    I ask because, here in MA, we automatically have a mutual aid ladder come in (no stick in town) and a tanker.

    I know up in my town. We are 100% percent volunteer. We usually discuss who and what apparatus we will be taking to the parade. The only parades we go to is our own during July 4th, and 3 towns that border us, and it is a 10 minute ride into the town. We ALWAYS let control know that we are taking X amount of trucks to XXX town for a parade, and estimate we will be back at XXXX hours. If it is a parade that is farther away (sometimes we get invited and just don't go), we will have control automatically start another engine or rescue for mutual aid depending on the call. If it is the town over, we usually take Tanker-1, Engine-1, and Ambulance-1. They are staffed with a full crew when they are out. Which leaves E-2, Rescue-1 and brush-1 in town.
