Not a rumor... Phelps is a psych recieving ER. Have been for years.

Great Shots Kyle! Looks like a good stop too. Well Done MFD.

go for it. Also, thanks for makng a post to recognize the hard work of the members and instigate some positive feedback!

We can all agree that Seth is a master when behind the camera but we cannot forget about some of the othere EMTBravo greats as well as those who are just starting out in the photogenic arts. The photos taken by members of this site are some of the rarest action shots and first to be seen apparatus shots in the world and we need to thank them for their donation to our education and passion. I have always loved seeing the incident photos taken by the members here (big fan of Bill "photounit" Johnsons work) and look foward to seeing what else the vets and camera rookies shoot next. To all the contributers, Keep up the good work and thank you for your dedication!

Great shots again seth! Hope you enjoyed your visit to sunny NY.

Way to go! Looks like it would have been a loss but I guess you guys were able to get in quick, and to save it with 9 guys, WOW! Good job!

I can't help but wonder what the guys in the 2nd shot are saying... "I think we are losing it here!" Great shots. Looks like you were one of the first to arrive. Hope there were no injuries. Its hot out kids, keep cool! Again great shots.

WOW! great shots!!! Looks like you guys had some fun out there! Thanks for sharing and keep them coming! BTW... Any chance you can send me a copy of the squad 51 shots? Again great shots!

Figured I would make a new thread for the discussion of lighting on rigs. Seems that the thread for the new CFFD chiefs car was hyjacked so lets discuss it here as to not offend the origional poster. Hoping this will also make the mods job easier... So here we go... At what point do we say "enough is enough"? Personally feel that some hide-a-ways and a couple rear flashers will do the job. Also think that a light bar and set of grill lights works just fine. Call me old fashoned but i'm not a fan of a mobile landing zone. Any thoughts?

wow! DO you have a copy of the article you can post (or email to me). Love the old parkway uniforms!

Thanks. Knew about the river patrols but haven't ever seen a PD on Lake Mahopac. Thanks for the info.

Nice job guys... Looks like you had some fun down there. Keep it up!!!!

I can't help but scratch my head as I ponder an observation... There are several police departments partolling the hudson river doing safety checks and enforcement, yet as I cruse on Lake Mahopac I don't think I have seen a single police officer on the water... Hmmmmmmmm... Does anyone know if there is a PCSO or CPD patrol boat on the lake?

Great shots! I am particularly a fan of the fact that you stayed back in the "cold zone" where it was safe and you were sure to be out of the way of operations. For that, a rep my good sir. And again, great shots. It's good to see the photogs coming back!

Thanks for the input guys, This is the conversation I was hoping for. One small request, Please don't use CFFD as an example, I do not wish to upset any of their members. Thanks.

Great shots and nice cut! Was the pt. still restrained on arrival? and excellent use of the resqjacks!

I agree with both of you guys. If you arent doing anything wrong then you have nothing to worrie about. Also, something like a simple wave tells these guys that you see them and are a friendly, same as waving at a cop car on the road, usually I get a wave back and left alone.

Charge him... I would concider him a repete offender (not saying he has pulled the box more than once just that he has already committed a crime) and need to learn that he has to be held accountable for his actions. I remember working in somers and hearing the FD get called to that place over and over again. Show todays youth that if you break the law you go to jail. It's that simple.

I am not refering to CFFD in this matter they have just been the origional example. I am speaking of ALL vehicles. The origional intent of the thread was to draw the conversation away from the photo thread as to not upset the photographer. I have no problem with the amount of lights any agency puts on a rig, just as I said, trying to draw the fire elsewhere.

As I had said, I am not looking to single out one department. I am looking for the opinion of others or studies related to the effective emergency lighting on a vehicle. I have also worked jobs along the interstates and know how they can be, especially when you are the only one there! This is not the arguement I am making, I am asking when too many lights becomes "way too many". Good points though Ken.

I personally think it is over the top. The amount of I 84 and TSP EFFD covers is much larger than CFFD's section of 684 and they dont have anything like that. The arguement that they "cover the interstate" is not one I am willing to accept. The NYSP cover the ENTIRE new youk section of EVERY interstate and dont go that crazy. I don't want to nor will I bash any one or any department, I just think that in general some go beyond reasonable when specing out light packages. I'm just saying...

LOL. Yeah, the thread not the rig. You had me scratching my head for a min and checking lohud!

Great shots! That is such a great place to vacation! I go every year. Looks like EFD finished the addition to the museum. Hope you had a good time!

Really??? any idea what happened? Hope no one was hurt!

Nope... Only have 4 tail light strobes and an arrow stick that i dont really use... Far from that catagory!
