All I know is that Somers FD/EMS is having theirs this Sunday 5/20 starts at 10am @ Lincolndale Firehouse(Across from the High School on Rt. 139) STAT flight will be landing next to their headquarters, along with demos, etc, etc. Don't be surprised when you see the photo thread!

I would like to add my flickr page link to my signature, and when I try and do that, it says : Oops! Something Went Wrong!" and says " You are only allowed up to 3 lines" Well, that'd be my third line, and a lot of others have about 5 different lines, etc. Is this just me or is something wrong here? Also, when I try and add the link, all it says is " URL" and "Protocall" where is the option to add text as the link?

Where?

Nice photos, too bad I didn't hear about it. Kyle, you do know that they replaced Car 5, right? It is being used as a spare(as far as I know) they replaced it with a 2012 Expedition. On your Flickr page you have it as On Duty Shift Commander/IC, which it isnt, correct me if I am wrong. The thread: http://www.emtbravo....+greenwich +new

Are these your photos? GREAT if they are!

You got some prior to the parade I get out of this. Nice photos.

By the rear license plate area, are those lights? Does Texas require a license plate in the rear? Will it fit with those lights there? Anyways, Very nice looking vehicle. Good luck to you folks with it.

Why don't they donate the ones thats in the worst condition to one of the local FD's so they can train off of it. For example: Like Kyle said above, one thats listed as "do not start, etc" take the good parts out, and let FD light it on fire (or anything else) and train off of it. One like that with just seats/body on it will probably just be junked, why not use it to train? Not to start any debate anything, just my thoughts..

Multiple departments in CT and some in NY also have this. White Plains has 3 I think, and New Fairfield has 2 from what I know. I live near a popular lettering/tint shop so I see all of them getting delievered/lettered, etc. They're very nice cars, hope they serve PD well.

I heard over the scanner this morning, an ambulance got dispatched to a patient fallen unable to get up, with injuries. As the ambulance was responding, dispatch updated PD on scene, lift assist only. The ambulance asked "Any pending calls?" Dispatch replied "Negative" ambulance said "Ok, we will proceed in to help PD lift the patient" and then cleared less then 10 minutes later(including response time in the 10 minutes) Thats what I would do, and if there happened to be a pending call, PD could have lifted the person by him/herself, or called for a 2nd ambulance to go(if needed)

Thanks, I was in front of 109 Croton Ave(by the curve) was a great view from both directions.

Archville FD i have uploaded more photos after I fixed my camera problem. Feel free to view them by scrolling up.

Sorry for the delay folks, I had a big problem transferring them over to the computer, but it's fixed now. (All who PMed and asked to see photos, I am uploading them and will be sending them to you shortly.) Somers FD MA-14

Just what I was about to post...Very well put.

Yes. Register here: http://publicworks.westchestergov.com/comments-form if you'd like to go, it's a great event.

You stole my idea. I am pretty sure I can make it. i'll post some pictures on the site if I get there. Time will tell...

Kyle, that reminds me, they also had a full ambulance crew also. Can a Somers member chime in and correct me if I am wrong, but did they brought the Marine to that scene? It is usually towed behind Rescue 38( In the first picture)

Good idea, but it will never happen. There are enough scuba teams in the area, the county really doesn't need one. Yes, the response time may be a little on the down side, but thats another story. Somers responded to Mamaroneck with a full scuba team last summer( they dont have too many scuba members at all) and got to the scene within 20 minutes, and thats response time also. And by then, many departments SCUBA were already there. Do we really need to get into discussion about the county? By the time they have assembled and responded, what, it'd save 5-6 minutes? Really not worth it, on my opinion.

What makes you think this? They aren't "better trained" then anyone else, besides, the career members who have a ton of training would probably know a little more than the volunteers who know little, especially in that position...Dont ya think?

If you are looking for a photo of a rig that went to this event, PM me I may have it, I have mostly all of them. Just uploaded a few of them.

I started a photo thread, I figured this one was just to discuss the parade.. Follow link to view some photos.. http://www.emtbravo.net/index.php/topic/46203-ossining-200th-year-parade-5512/page__pid__263737#entry263737
