  1. i wonder how many guys ended up with back problems after trying to move this guy.
  2. 165,000 after15 2nd try
  3. Good site,couldn't help but notice yours is a fairly young dept and the history really doesn't tell how it came about.Also noticed a spike in MA,is this due to nearby towns relying on yours since youv'e been staffed, what was the cost to the taxpayers to get you guys going?
  4. and all the beer commercials during the game,pabst,rheingold,schaefer the one beer to have when your having more than one
  5. Ramone, bring me my spurs
  6. wow with that many guys ,we could probably get detergent that suds up,lol
  7. I seem to remember a few years back ,the IAFF had a problem with Purchase over this.
  8. brady to moss, "same play as last time ,on 2 ready break" ,ya gotta love it.
  9. relax i think he just phrased it incorrectly. i hope
  10. "As far as PD, their job is full of bone heads with guns" your right ,and dont forget they have to deal with criminals too. lol
  11. it is what it is,good luck with them guys and be safe,hopefully you won'thave to be in them too long!
  12. http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dl...EWS02/712160333 forclosures up 38% thru november? could we be in for the same firebug season that the 70's experienced with rising fuel costs?
  13. if you play bagpipes next to it and soak it in Guiness, it will last longer? is there any other way?
  14. I think that is called Battenfelds,A family run farm ,i"ve gotten a few trees there,pretty big place too,like you said its a good place to tailgate and make a day of it.
  15. I think when a modular is constructed ,the house should be noted by the fire dept. as a hazard.If anyone sees one built in their neighborhood,stop and ask if you can peek inside before its patched up.What you will find is in fact a "cockloft " between the 1st and 2nd floors that allows fire spread from 1 end of the house to the other end in all directions,and to boot the 2nd floor itself is built on 2x4 lightweight truss with gusset plates.The thing that is unbelievable is the local codes call for firecaulk in all vertical holes,wire,pipes etc.but they allow for these nightmares to be built.You'll also find "future " shafts built in that go from the basement to the attic,in case the owner wants to put in central air .,so you can have a basement job go to the attic in no time.And like the chief said,alot of these roofs are lightweight truss so theycan lift them up easier.
  16. ah carpenter road , I actually just came up saw mill.watched a car come off mountain road (irvington)go out of its way in wrong direction,and cross median to head north bound,followed said car (nutmegger)and they bailed off at 119 with a last second exit.
  17. Nice Job ,Thanks for the photos
  18. Ah yes,I wonder how little Cornelius is doing these days.
  19. I would say it all boils down to scene safety,which would fall under fire/police direction ,(whomever is performing the extrication)when access is complete,medical can operate but fire should be able to step in if they see something is not right,in a "perfect world it would work out nice if both functions can operate simultaneously" but i think fire should control scene with medical advisement.
  20. I thought the whole "we will not negotiate if he opts out" thing was supposed to be based in principle.I quess not if the price is right,they should have made him squirm all winter if they knew they couldn't resist giving in to him.The real Steinbrenner would not have taken him back! Now the Yankee fans know what they are in for as far as management goes.
  21. funny,nobody ever complains about early st.patricks day partys
  22. 120 yes votes? They are either members or non taxpayers, it breaks down to almost 7 million per bay, ballfields,social halls, give me a break. Build some detached garages or outbuildings for other equipment and make due.The sad part is this will eventually go through and the numbers do not justify it. Companys that do 3 to 4 thousand runs a year are working with much less.
  23. blah,blah,blah
  24. In perfect world ,raise if ya got em ,otherwise???
