Nice ,checkout the old train bridge in backround , and the arches on the bay door that are no more. Station 4 will be having it's 100 year anniversary this year.

I would say the present goal would be to keep the response as is.Seems to work pretty well. The only one that is going to be punished is the unlucky patient when that promised response can't be kept. But I guess then the call will be made to send Fire.

agreed ,so long as he is not tied up, but I guess you could tell the patient they'll get there when he can. or it could the only way to document the true response times Maybe it wasn't offered , in fact In June , I believe a former councilwoman brought up at the hearing, that any change to the Empress contract requires open bidding from other vendors . Then maybe it's time to retire because I could swear I only have 3 guys on my rig besides myself. I must need glasses to find the others. Or you are just spouting about things when you really don't know the true facts

Well, as someone who has been a part of the first response in the YFD for the past 22 years, I couldn't care less about what you Bull might find overdramatic, or what you Jack might find unnecessary and unprofessional. I've spent the majority of my career in SW yonkers and have seen good and i have seen bad when it comes to Empress. I, like JFlynn believe the 2 entities work well together (give or take a nut in a safari hat). But I believe the first salvo fired in this episode came from the bosses at Empress when they stated blatantly false response times in an effort to seize sole control over EMS in Yonkers, knowing full well it would cost jobs in the yfd, and worse yet, put the lives of the citzens at risk. So what would the main benefit be ? Greater profit maybe ? I don't know what was uglier , the false numbers being produced by Empress, or the roll the dice attitude exhibited by the city for the sole purpose of breaking contracts. It seems to me the Bosses at Empress were well aware of what the repercussions were to be had the first responder program ended . For the most part , the buses arrive in a timely manner, but I have witnessed 10 minute plus response way too often, and for Empress to tell the city that there would be no difference in service without the YFD is misleading at best. That to me is unprofessional. This, coming from someone who has delivered 2 chlidren , shocked and initiated cpr on too many to count, all because Empress wasn't on scene in a timely manner. Capt. Geo. Smith YFD

And given its low profile, it is almost a sure bet to be involved in a collision .

sent an e-mail to wallfornewtown@gmail.com ,they are looking for groups of 15 for thurs. a.m.

Sounds like the work of Simon Barsinister !

Covered the entire chimney yesterday afternoon.Good thing for warm weather and open windows,or we'd have headlines.Our call was around corner ,just noticed by driving past.

While returning to quarters from a run around 8 this morning,I came upon this house .Who can tell me what's wrong in this picture.And yes this house is occupied with 4 families.?????????

Nice pics Chief, and Capt. Ed ,way to take advantage of a teaching opportunity !

Alot of speculation going on ,on your part don't you think??? FYI, Chief Kielb had been a DC of personnel prior to Commissioner Pagano's appointment and has been a candidate for the commissioners position in the past.I have worked under both of these men and I believe either one would fit the position well.I am sorry to see Chief Fitz. go . He has done great things for the advancement of my department.He also had over 32 years on and maybe felt it time to move on.Your ASSumption as to why is ,well,none of your business .

Tell us again how nice it is in Texas, lol

.Also,don't discount that the signs could be from proud Grandparents.

Well,ask yourself this question,lets say you join, and down the road they ask you to be involved in a job action which could be sickout,protest,strike,etc. Would you oblige ??? If your answer is already question mark then you may have your answer.

The same guy that spent Greenburgh's money fighting Ridgehill and Stew Leonards now wants Wally World . I guess that traffic is OK.

Seems fine ,just pull pin and squeeze,no need to aim.or pull from wall for that matter.

Along with the ratchet tie downs securing the base of the 4x 's to the car.

Well ,I was kinda hoping it would be an "E-Rig" .

Push the cop car (that will probably be in front ) down the hill and stand on the roof.
