I've also seen these cars parked in downtown Peekskill a few times. Usually on park Street near one of the office buildings there.

What was the cause of this fire? Do we know yet? How bad was the damage? I drove by there Sunday afternoon and I think I saw some type of construction equipment in front of the store.

She's beautiful!! God Bless you and your family.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think the State PD out of Cortlandt patrol with two in the car during the overnite shifts. I don't know how many cars they patrol with though. Does the County PD patrol 24/7 in Cortlandt area?

An interesting question is what was his security detail doing during these "appointments?" They either had complete knowledge of what he was doing or the Governor was very creative in sneaking around behind their backs. He has security 24/7 right? So someone must always know where he is and who he is with.

I think that some of things being said in this thread(cursing for instance) is EXACTLY why posts are being deleted.

Unfortunately, we've seen this before. http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hB4EJKi...XOSX3QD8UVK05O0 Copyright © 2008 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Thanks Truck4!! I'm always amazed by the detailed IA's you post! How does one find the time??

aka Starsky and Hutch!

I don't know. I almost always give the benefit of the doubt to the MOS in these kinds of cases but 120mph? That sounds pretty excessive. I would think that would only be necessary in pursuit of armed robberies and other felonies, not "speeding." But on the other hand, what was the motorcyclist doing? Was he endangering the public by driving at a high rate of speed? Perhaps weaving in and out of traffic etc to cause the pursuit? Interesting case.

Its about time really. I'm surprised it took this long for them to replace the "antiquated" but quaint use of the hole punchers. I wonder what will happen to the actual hole punchers that they use now? Guess we'll see them at next years Open House at Croton Harmon!

Any members here actually going to the Super Bowl? How did you get tickets?

I had one of the old Bearcat crystal scanners from I guess the early 80's. Don't remember the name or number but it had a gold colored front with six channels. I remember when I was a kid how exciting it was to go to Radio Shack to get new crystals!! The only other place around Westchester that I think sold the crystals was the old electronics/hobby store that was on Yonkers Avenue near the Cross County Parkway. Think its a CVS now. The name escapes me there too. I think the crystals were about 5 or 6 dollars maybe?? Is till have the scanner around someplace and last I checked I think it still worked!!!

Yeah I don't get the shipping charges? Is that only if you use PayPal?

Many years ago, probably early 80's I guess, when my parents first got cable tv in Mount Vernon, there was a show on the old WNYC tv channel about the FDNY. It was a half hour show on about once a week hosted by a fire chief that involved training videos and interviews. I think it was called "ON the Job"?? My brother and I loved watching this show when we were kids because it usually had some good videos from fires around the city. Does anyone else remember this show? Does FDNY still produce any programs like this?

That's right!! Dick Nagle was the host! I had forgotten that! You bring up a good point about the use of public access channels. That could be a good idea. There's certainly enough crap on those channels now that something useful could be put on once in a while!

Maybe Barney is the new Chief........ Everybody sing along " I Love you ......."

From the Cape Cod Times newspapers. By K.C. MYERS STAFF WRITER November 03, 2007 PROVINCETOWN — With the town on edge after 10 suspicious fires in recent weeks, an arson occurred again last night, this time with serious consequences. The earliest suspicious fires were found in trash cans, then progressed to unoccupied houses or homes under construction, Provincetown Fire Chief Michael Trovato said. Until last night, the damage had not been extensive. Last night, one or more arsonists pushed leaves and other debris against the rear wall of an unoccupied home at the top of Oppen Lane, a steep road rising high above Bradford Street, lined with mostly seasonal, expensive homes. The debris was lit on fire, and the blaze spread to the home's outside wall, Trovato said. The flames had been burning for an estimated two hours before a neighbor noticed and dialed 911, according to Trovato. The house, owned by Jeffrey Libert of Cambridge, is probably a complete loss, the fire chief said. In a town filled with seasonal homes, many neighborhoods don't have occupants, making an arsonist's job a lot easier, Trovato added. Residents should keep their lights on, and their eyes open, he said. "We should be forming neighborhood watches, but in a sparsely populated neighborhood like this, that will be hard." In this case, firefighters had trouble locating the source of smoke, Trovato said. At first, they checked neighboring Harbor Hill Road, the street identified by the 911 caller. But then they stumbled upon the two-story ranch with smoke seeping from its windows and doors, the fire chief said. Two firefighters made their entry by breaking through a wall next to sliding glass doors on the ground floor, Trovato said. As they entered the burning building, they heard a cracking sound, and a piano, about eight-feet long and very heavy, crashed through the second floor, grazing firefighter Justin White's helmet. White was not injured but it was a close call, the firefighter said. "This was very close to being a murder scene," Trovato said last night. "This is what I'm afraid of, that a firefighter is going to get killed." In the 1980s, Deputy Chief Franklin Oliver died fighting an arson fire at the Lobster Pot Restaurant, the fire chief said. Arson is suspected in 10 other Provincetown fires that have occurred in recent weeks. The most recent three blazes occurred on Halloween. The most serious of the holiday fires, at 473 Commercial St., was started by someone igniting a plumber's blow torch and leaving it to burn full blast inside an antique waterfront home once owned by the arctic explorer Donald MacMillan, Trovato said. The fire burned a second-floor alcove of the house, which was under renovation at the time. The same day, there were suspicious fires at 2 Commercial St. and 10 Bradford St. On Oct. 26, firefighters extinguished a fire at a half-built home at 98 Bayberry Ave. While residents are naturally concerned, for firefighters the danger is more immediate and tangible. "You can get killed every time you go to a fire," firefighter Vaughn Cabral said. The strain is taking its toll on fire crews' nerves. "I've been nervous for a week," firefighter Aubrey Gordon said. The state Fire Marshal's Office has had a state police trooper investigating the Provincetown fires since Wednesday, said Jennifer Mieth, a spokeswoman for the fire marshal's office. As of yesterday afternoon, there were no major leads, Mieth said. But that was before last night's blaze, which was discovered around 6:30, when a emergency dispatcher began sending fire crews to the scene. "We really think the public is going to be the key to solving this case," Mieth said. "If anyone has information, call the arson hot line. It's confidential. If anyone saw anything suspicious, just call. Don't second guess yourself. Let us decide what's relevant." The arson hot line is 800-682-9229. K.C. Myers can be reached at kcmyers@capecodonline.com.

I don't see any point to it. It has nothing to do with this website and would probably cause more headaches for you than its worth.

Just out of curiosity, what ever happened to the Fire Patrol rigs when the unit was disbanded? Weren't one or two of the trucks relatively new?

Regarding this Seth, how does the firefighting "breakdown" work in a situation like this? In other words, how many of the firefighters involved are regulars in the San Diego FD or LA County FD or are many of them from the state of California? Are there State firefighters that are Forest Rangers or used just for brush fires? What training do cities such as LA or San Diego FD have for fighting large widfires such as this?

Have been listening to some live scanning from San Diego regarding wildfires. Try these websites: http://www.police-scanner.info/live-police-scanners.htm Look for " police scanner audio feeds" on the left column and then under California for San Diego link http://www.admediapro.com/freebee/ Also has Califronia links If anybody has any other links to share please post them!

It seems to be OK as far as I can see. But I use a Mac and the broadcast automatically opens up in Itunes for me. Its possilbe that it could be overloaded. Try some of the links from other areas or states and see if they wrok for you.
