NOR1219

As it turned out, Quad 8 found us before we could find her. A few of our members made the trip to South Harrison Township, New Jersey after the heir to the estate of a private collector offered to return each piece to their original owners before going to auction. We were happy to bring her home and we're looking forward to sharing her with the public soon. Look for more information on Quad 8's return at www.purchasefd.com soon.

With all of this being said, do you think it would be better for a department to have an older member with more experience fighting actual fires and less training OR a newer member with less actual experience, but much more training, as an officer? I feel that some departments could have a bunch of 25-year members that are complacent and come from the era of "charging into burning buildings without SBCA" and then many 7-10 year members that are progressive and would like to use the knowledge they received from classes they've taken. In this situation, maybe younger members, or members with less time in the department, would serve as better officers.

Thanks for that info. The wikipedia site seems to have general information on the Uniden BCD396T. I was wondering if anyone knew how to isolate the Bee Line frequency on the BCD396T. I've been picking them up along with fire departments using the trunked radio system. I currently have all of the frequencies posted on the Westchester County Trunked System thread on this site.

Harrison PD has the rumbler siren in a few of their patrol cars. I've experienced it twice as they went through the intersection I was sitting at. It is definitely more noticeable than the regular siren, I think they should install them in all of their patrol cars.

The final inspection of Engine 238 has been completed. Feel free to visit www.purchasefd.com to view photos of the new rig.

Does anyone know how to program the Uniden BCD 396T or know of any websites that may assist me in programming it? Thanks.
