Town of Mamaroneck

Great photos firedude!!!!!!

Nice photos everyone, as well as the vid!!!

Im sure if you were hearing what was going on out on the water you would agree, im not saying make a team that does tows thats why we have Sea Tow

Job well done

Nicely done...Happy fathers day after that one huh?

ohh dont worry i agree totally the priority is on land, this is just something that would be great to see on the water.... And its not about when there are just dive calls, but there are a lot of responses you don't hear about on the water happening everyday....

It is needed for WLIS there are a lot of calls that become either unattended or the boat must get back to there home port with an injury/sick person aboard......

Mamaroneck out of harbor island

Another great fact about what happend on the hudson, was because this was happening when boats where so close to it, they were there before any 911 calls came in....

It makes a lot of sense what you think about the Sound Shore topic but, if you wanted a team it would more then likely have to be stationed with a min of 2 people at a time like a VAC would always be have a crew on, and obviously with the team there would be more then one boat so those people on duty at the time would have people backing them up...

I agree with you, but the should be a on water rescue team. When a vessel on WLIS calls in distress there is time to save them but there is no on to do the job except local pd's then again it might not be directly called to them... If there was an actual team made by sound shore municipalities... Portchester, Rye, Mamaroneck, Larchmont, New ro and pelham can all chip in a small amount each to make a decent team to cover from the ct border down the the bronx line... i have seen Local private yacht clubs send there own staff out looking for people out there... I have also seen NYC Helicopters helping in searches (which is great) Maybe a team can be made and work with the FDNY and other local "on water" rescue and salvage agencies

well said, i think there should be one team out of mamaroneck because its a in the center of Weschester's coverage of WLIS

any pics?

Like already said not every department can afford to do that, plus wether your up county or down south those resources can have a 4 minute M/A response or even a 10-15min M/A response..... Also you cant really give out Numbered Assignments in Westchester because it depends if its a store, a Mall, Golf Club, apartment building, and/or any sized house And for an example (like the sound shore) not every town has a rescue and what if you need a stick, well now your stuck choosing Rye or New Ro?

I personally think thats a great idea,but your going to wast time (with a volunteer dept that if anything cant afford to take a couple of guys aside to make parking lost) Also how would you establish something like that? a lot of different streets and terrain...

Great pics... and i like that video!

nice knock down, great job Pleasantville Fire!

I saw it...its truly a great video
