Nah I have read his post for a long time and I agreed with him once 10 minutes ago. I do and always will respect his knowledge and accomplishments but I think your assessment is wrong.

Wow might be the first time I agreed with you Chief well said and there are a few lines I will use on my guys.

A volunteer fire dept (each company in fact) must have their own tax id number and file taxes according to law. This is talked about every year in Albany at one of the conventions and every year they spend 3 hours on the subject. In my dept our company just went through the process of obtaining a new non profit tax id but taxes still need to be filed

Ghost letterings are considered markings . My question is if you do get a ticket from an officer in an unmarked car and it stop doesnt fall under the "exceptions" rule do you think if challenged the judge is inclined to throw out the ticket ? There is always someone looking to exploit a loophole.

Capt Glover I dont know you from a whole in the wall but I must say you sound like the voice of reason and I appreciate you taking the time in spite of some of the silly remarks to CRITIQUE the video so those of us who wish to learn do learn from your expertise. I'm 40 years old with 14 years of volunteering and and I cant stand people who "know it all" and arent willing to listen. Thank You Capt

Fog nozzle in an interior operations ??? have you ever use a fog nozzle interior before?

Amen criticism is never a good thing and should be banned BUT a critique of a photo , video or any other fire related action should be welcomed with open arms whether in a round table discussion or on this site and to try and silence a critique only hurts the good of the fire service. Remember if you make fun of or speak with malice its NOT a critique and your better off just passing the topic by. I personally love knowledge and questions should be encouraged even if the question seems strange to us it may not be to the person asking and your answer may help that person. I am not saying anyone is trying to silence the critiques but it sometimes has that feel. We are not 7 year olds that will run to mommy crying most of us are mature and welcome the help.

maybe one of the first times I agree with you Seth , my only question I wanted answered was how did the call come in and was it a Hastings or Yonkers address. As I mentioned 3 times already class act by YFD sticking around if it was a hastings address. I'm not here to play Monday morning quarterback nor am I even trying to and I ask everyone else not to either , BUT with that being said I also think some sort of CRITIQUE in a respectful manor i always in order thats how we better ourselves but thats a different topic for another day.

I agree with you and seeing YFD and HFD reminds me of the old days BUT I was curious if the call went to Yonkers directly via 911 ? Like I said the first time if the house was a Hastings address I think that was a real class act by YFD to stay I couldn't stress it enough. YFD came through for a fellow FF volly or not and I tip my hat to them.

was this called in to 911 via a landline or cell does anyone know? I ask because that might answer why yonkers was dispatched and I will give Yonkers credit if the address was Hastings for sticking around and helping. Class decision by Yonkers

Why was Yonkers there?

August 18 Fire Chief’s Car Ablaze 7 p.m.—Police received a call from James Sarfaty, the Hastings-on-Hudson fire chief, reporting that his 2006 Ford Expedition had caught fire outside his home. Police and fire department arrived on scene and extinguished the fire. The cause of the fire is under investigation. above is a little piece I copied from the river town patch anyone have any additional info?

you asked a legit question and all who disagreed gave you a respectful answer except for the one who had to stand out.

maybe if you ask nicely ?? was there any indication otherwise

I was on the board at the time and Seth your info is one sided , without naming names or getting into to many details the veh purchase price was $10,000 then it would have needed $100,000 to renovate. I was originally for the plan and I actually pushed the board to do it but at the time there were many financial discrepancies with our books and there was a change of the board which took a more conservative approach with its finances. The DFVAC has a poor record on covering calls so what ever money we had was to be put into recruiting. One last thing we threw this around the town and there was no way we were going to raise the $100,000 to restore it and that is on the low end we looked into it , also putting the veh on a residents private property was not a good decision for a Ambulance corp that has to answer to a village board. One last thing this was over 2 and a half years ago that this all went down so why is it in the 4/11 issue is beyond me. No one was stepping up to donate to fix this car so that is not correct , we asked around for months thats how we got the $100,000 estimate along the way so there is no "quite a bit of people" that wanted to step up. They had the chance to step up and NO ONE did.
