Thanks for the "enlightening" article!!! :P

Agreed!! Most of what you read in that article is very subjective. Some people do certain jobs because they enjoy it. The pay and working conditions aren't always the deciding factor.

Would the "eliminated funding" also affect the County Police coverage in the Town of Cortlandt as well?

Do you have any specific departments in mind??

This might need a whole new thread, but does Mt Vernon or any other Department have the proper facilities or credentials to train there own personnel? Isn't that what the County Training Center exists for?

Thanks for posting the pics. Those were a lot of fun those musters; looked forward to them every year. Still miss them. They were fun in later years too when they were held at Croton. A lot of guys did overnight camping there.

Yeah,probably right after the next time they're checking out the Incident Alert page

Here's an update from the Cape Cod Times newspaper: http://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll...1/NEWSLETTER100

Happy Birthday and a huge thanks to all the pioneers of EMTBravo!!! By the way, how did the name EMTBRAVO come about?

You're exactly right Chris, these are the questions I had in mind when I posted the article. And who was the unidentified female passenger that was in the truck? Was she a FD member? I'm interested to see if there is a follow up to this story that answers some questions.

Adios to this criminal. :angry:

Does anyone know when or if Rescue Me will be back on? I haven't heard anything about it.

I've never seen a rig with a crane on it before. That's awesome!! What are the capabilities of the crane and what type of incidents has it been used at? Does it need extra stabilizing of the truck?

I agree. Especially now with the colder weather its even harder to hear them through closed windows at home. If they can't increase the volume then maybe there needs to be more sirens.

I maybe wrong but haven't they had this problem before at the haunted house? Only to open up at the last minute?

LOL! Oh man you're sick!!!

Congratulations Joe!!! Keep up the good......no...... GREAT WORK!!!

Gee I don't get it either; maybe that happens a lot there at that radio station!! He really seems unconcerned about it! Good thing he wasn't working alone that day.

Terrific shots!!! Thanks for sharing and thanks for coming to NYC too!!!

Even though auxiliary officers are unarmed, are they allowed to carry their own personal firearms if they are properly licensed?

Heard the dispatch for the working fire on Garth Road this afternoon. The initial dispatch was for E27 E 28 AND Greenville E150 and L4. Is this new having Greenville respond with Eastchester on first alarm assignments? I know they go to Hartsdale and vice versa but wasn't aware of Eastchester. What gives?

What's the purpose of the residency rule anyway? If it is for a "recall" then all personnel should be required to live within the city limits. if there was a major fire or disaster, how could anyone get to there respective job in any reasonable amount of time to help? Even if you live in New Jersey! What if there was a terrorist attack on one of the bridges or tunnels? The residency rule, if it is enforced, should be to keep emergency personnel close to there job. Nothing else.
