A few photos from the accident scene & the medivac landing. Additional photos can be viewed on my website. A very unfortunate accident. My thought and prayers go out to all involved. http://www.brianduddy.com/g/h112008 http://www.brianduddy.com/g/h112008

I don't even sign on Myspace anymore now that I am on Facebook. My graduating high school class has it's own group and we have 56 out of 180 graduates online in less then 6 months.

It sure is: Additional apparatus photos from the Middletown collection can be viewed on my website: http://www.brianduddy.com/g/catskill08

Here is a shot of Satellite 2 that I took on the 2005 NJMFPA FDNY Bus Trip. Ya gotta love the older version !

Let me know when the 2nd rig is ready to be photographed and we will do them all again. Definitely worth the $4.50 toll ! Photofires@aol.com

I was finally able to make it across the river to shoot this beauty. Special thanks to Arron [bosco252] from Sleepy Hollow EMS for taking the time to pull everything out of the barn for the photo shoot and to [Tim] TR54 for calling Arron to make it happen ! Additional photos can be viewed on my website: http://www.brianduddy.com/g/shems http://www.brianduddy.com/g/shems

NJ has some real nice USAR Rigs ! I was real lucky to photograph a bunch of them at a press event 3 years ago. All the photos are on my website: http://www.brianduddy.com/g/usar http://www.brianduddy.com/g/usar

How about this sweet color scheme from Hazle Twsp., PA. Similar to Pearl River, but with green & blue instead. Additional photos of Hazle Twsp.'s other rigs can be viewed on my website: http://www.brianduddy.com/g/pennsylvania

Some Yellow rigs from my side of the Hudson from Excelsior Engine Company of Pearl River. I think the ones with the Blue stripe look real sharp !

Anyone have any more photos to post ? I love seeing these classic photos of old musters from Westchester. I have a set of slides that I won off of ebay from the 1980 muster that TR54 is going to scan for me hopefully this coming week. Will post them as soon as they are done.

I must have missed this post on the website because of the lack of posts on it, but the City of Mount Vernon should be ashamed of themselves for selling these incredible pieces of firefighting history. Are they that hard up for $ ? Why not donate the collection to a Historical Society or the FASNY Museum ? I am a huge fire department memorabilia collector and bid on at least 30-40 items/lots that a company called The Weiderman Gallery based out of Herkimer, NY resold on ebay. I was fortunate enough to win a few badges and this beautiful FASNY Certificate from 1905. Anyone else from the area save some of this collection from going out of NY State ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=320303745286

Especially the 201 dispatchers Joe ? LOL Monitor 156.195, I work 11P-7A

How much are you looking to spend ? Point in shoot or DSLR ?

A few years ago on the NJ Metro Fire Photographers Association's Annual FDNY Bus Trip we were fortunate enough to go aboard Marine-9 and take lots of photos. If I can find them, I will post them !
