This. It will be a shame if this picture is censored. This is how we learn.

Wiccopee has redesigned their website.

It's absolutely a useful activity to get into. Rostering and meeting requirements vary between agencies, but if your son is genuinely interested in the field he will have no problem balancing schoolwork and these requirements. Collegiate teams place heavy emphasis on academics-first and understand that student volunteers have priorities. (I am a former Chief of Operations of my alma mater's emergency response team)

The Wiccopee Fire Company will host its 51st Annual Steak Roast on Saturday, September 12th from 1 to 6pm at the main station. See http://wiccopeefireco.org/ for more information. Hope to see you there!

Correct. Thanks for highlighting the mistake.

My condolences.

Or enforce at least some degree of physical fitness in a career that relies upon it.

It's a show and even as a emergency management individual I find it entertaining...

Someone stole a fire hydrant?!

EFFD's hose truck (39-81) carries 5000 feet of 5'.

RIP.

$175,000 in any profession is great. An amazing salary for a firefighter...

While I slightly agree, where will the funds come from? Volunteer districts save millions of dollars. However, when I see departments on Long Island with bowling alleys, 20 LCD flat panel TV's and tiki bars in their stations...

Oakland has enormous crime issues. Not the best place to be laying off uniformed workers.

Probably, but it rarely achieves anything but warning. I don't know many individuals who will yield to amber lights.

I've always supported utility and public works emergency units having more than just amber lights. Many times, they're just as integral to a safe resolution as we are. Companies like ConEd and NYSEG are VERY active in emergency preparedness and response.

Just out of curiosity, where is the photo?

Besides being highly unsafe, it looks ridiculous. If you want to ride on the roof in random clothing during a parade, rent a flatbed or hot dog truck. Don't do it with official emergency response vehicles and apparatus.

How unprofessional.

What?

One cannot express solidarity with fellow firefighters if they don't live in the jurisdiction? ...

Suffolk is an excellent and proactive organization. I had the pleasure of occasionally working with them when I went to University in Long Island. Hopefully the grant goes through and they are able to fund the airplane.

Sounds like a clear review of the shortcomings needs to be performed.

I know EFFD has its command personnel at the EFFD HQ facility. I'm not sure about any unified command location though. Dutchess also has its EOC operating.

It is not a department snowmobile. EFFD has a 6X6, no snowmobiles etc.
