a little close to the hydrant!

I'm embarrassed to say that I've never been to Walter's! Hopefully this summer......sigh!

Refer to Yonkers FD and New Rochelle FD to answer most of these questions ,,,particularly those about staffing

Good luck and thanks for your service!

RIP Chief Fahy

Sorry, maybe its me, but does anyone else find that the new colors on the website make it harder to read? I like the layout,design,features etc. but it seems just a little harder to read. Just my 2 cents....

Yes that was it Thanks, sorry about the confusion! Better now.

One picture shows US Air Force rig....where did that come from?

Happy Birthday! Thanks for keeping this site up and running!

I grew up in Mount Vernon and as a former resident I am continually embarrassed by the state of affairs in that city. I was hoping the new Mayor was going to change things. I have friends and family members that used to be a part of MVFD and the situation in that department is particularly embarrassing and sad as well. Its always chaos.

Beautiful Engine! Love the logo too.

Actually, personally, I think it is turning around. I think with all the activity in Iraq,Afghanistan, Syria etc..over the last 10-15 years that there has been more of a focus on Memorial Day for the right reasons. Particularly this year I thought there was a lot of attention to Service members living and decreased (PD and FD members included) and people do seem to take the time to remember. Social media helps too.

Welcome Aboard!!

Nice work! A Officer using his training and experience to protect his men.

Thanks for posting this. Remember hearing all of it on the scanner that night. Terrible day and a bizarre case that had a bizarre ending. RIP Officer Stymiloski

Shouldn't be too much of a problem as long as DOT puts up new signs. Dispatchers can still use the exit street name as well as the exit # to avoid any confusion. Problems may come if there are some exit signs with numbers and some without. If it really takes two years that will probably be the case though.....

just in time for the big snowstorm!...wait what!!???

Wait till it gets cold!

Can you provide any more details than that? When what where and why?

RIP Officer Holder

Well said. Its true we tend to forget those that did survive that day.

A few from Yorktown:

I have a 1970's portable CB radio from Royce. Im not sure if it works but I did use it "back in the day" and it is still in pretty good shape. Im thinking there might be someone out there who collects these old radios and might be interested. Hopefully! Will provide pictures if interested. Thanks
