WOW...That's a pretty bold statement so everyone who enjoy's a soccer game has boring lives?Did you say they scored 2 points in less than 5 minutes?Ah yes you did so you must have watched it,Or watched the highlights.So how boring is your life? Bitter soccer fans gotta love'em...

Italy is going to win...Can't you see how good they are. ITALY ALL THE WAY!!

I'm not sure but I think Italy won...

Thanx...Look foward to it.

Sounds good... Let us know

I forgot to say our department get's new chiefs trucks every 2 years. The local police dept buy's our old trucks and adds them to there fleet,they use them in the winter time or during big storms.Plus we always keep a spare car which is used for many different things.So we really only have 3 chiefs trucks. The pick up truck that I drive was going to be a utility truck but we put in service last year as a chiefs truck instead.

I couldn't agree more...Well said.

seem to be doing pretty well.

Do I get one?

I don't know but italy looked pretty good today...Brazil didn't play there best game but they still won. I guess we'll just have to wait and see

GO ITALY!!!!!

My department we don't allow PV's at car accidents. But for a large fire we do allow PV's as long as there out of the way and our members understand this. Car accidents I look at it like this we already have an engine, chief vehicles, our rescue,medic's, and police vehicles why make it anymore dangerous or confusing with PV's. On highway calls I-95 or the HRP no PV's at all. I rather have everyone respond to HQ and we will dispatch what is needed. It's all about saftey and PV's on the highway's,chances are the highway's are backed up due to the accident so they won't get there anyway. If it's a working fire most of our members respond to the firehouse and if everything left the house then they can roll in there PV's. Our problem is more with our local police dept. then anything else. They seem to think there the Fire dept,As well as the police dept. Very frustrating sometimes so were trying to work together but you know how that can go. Ego's clash. As a chief I try to work with them but my main concern is my men and women of the fire dept, not the police dept. I'll stop there I can go on forever about our problems with our police Dept.

Well Said!!! What's wrong with people...

"A fund for Mr. Craddock's widow and son has been set up by the DeKalb County Fire and Rescue Department. Donations to the William L. Craddock Fund can be made at any Bank of America branch". Is this where to send the donation? Do you have an exact address? Please let me know.

Be more then happy to help ya out...

Anyone know why the tones went off today around I think 6:00pm? I was at the firehouse and our house alerts went off along with Rye,West harrison,Purchase, Port Chester, Mamaroneck Village and town I believe. For a minute I thought we were in for something major. I feel a little silly but I told all my guy's in the house to gear up and pack up and get ready for directions from 60-control. Reminded me of the time the tanker hit in North white Plains.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Harrison there allowed to wear shorts also. Now if I could just get my job to allow shorts that would be great.

They gave a test I believe last summer,I recieved the info about the test right here on this site. Not sure how often they give it though.

Congrats Seth...I wish nothing but the best for you and your future wife!!

Yeah I think so... If so I would like to welcome the dispatchers

I can't believe she's with his brother...I hope tommy kicks his @!!

I really don't see the point in making a movie... Hasn't everyone gone through enough... Just my thoughts...

I use the XTS2500 model III I like it alot. But I also like the HT1250. Just my 2 cents.

My department the engine driver must atleast have his/her gear on the rig and get dressed at the scene but it is up to the driver some want to get dressed before they leave the house like if it's raining or really cold out. Anyone riding the rig other then the driver be in full turnout gear and packed up. As for me personally I don't mind driving in my bunker pants. If it's really cold or I know it's going to rain I'll bring my gear in the garage or basement get dressed and then get in the truck. Who want's to try to get dressed in pouring rain? We've all done it and it's not fun.How about putting your socked foot in 3 inches of snow!! Fun right. Well guess I went on a little ramble...
