I’m trying to learn more to be better prepared of the next MCI in Westchester. Does 60 Control still have the prearrange run cards which I believe have spaces for your first 5 engines, ladders, tankers and rescues, and ect? Which the Chief the gives 60 Control on his wishes the Chief is the “AHJ”. If 60 Control did use the prearrange run card than there is no argument here. But if 60 Control did not follow the prearrange run cards then why? I believe that is a valid question to ask. Making a decision on calling resources outside of the run cards is it made by the dispatch himself or dispatch supervisor at that time? I think a IC of a incident should know who make that call. How offer does 60 Control make a department update the run cards? (Yearly) Does 60 control share the run cards to different agencies so that they are aware that there resources can called to Fire Department XZY. Which can help a department be better prepared for an incident. Thanks

How bad was the damage to their HQ?

Well all the departments you listed including Ossining are a 12-15 minute drive to Valhalla's station. It's not about speed and who is closest for relocations, it's how to balance all of the resources in the county. A relocation is not an emergency per se. It is better to skip over several departments so that wide gaps in coverage aren't created in the process. Hawthorne, Valhalla, North White Plains, Elmsford, Thornwood, and Briarcliff had units committed to this job during rush hour. Leaving TFD, SHFD, PHFD, WHFD, AFD, untouched meant that whichever company relocated to VFD would have had a full complement of second due departments nearby available to respond to another major incident. West Harrison (3.5 Miles) , and Armonk (6.2 Miles) and White Plains (3.5 Miles) Ossining (10.4 Miles) Tarrytown (5.3 Miles) Sleepy Hollow (6.1 Miles) Purchase (5.4 Miles) Port Chester (9.9 miles)

Harrison Police Department Open House Sat. Oct. 12 10:00 am to 2 pm

I have talked to West Harrison 2nd Lieutenant about their jr. program. The program has done joint drill this year with Village of Mamaroneck, North White Plains, Valhalla, and Port Chester. It seems that West Harrison Jr advisers have great deal of pride in this program. Also it seems that their advisers work great as a team because their Jr. drills every Wed. night. Their Chief must be proud of what their advisers get done. Keep the kids into it. Knowing that most department in the county may only have a hand full of Jr. Members. Here is one department that are looking to get young people into the fire service early Keep up that great Job. Look at West Harrison Website Here are the name of their Advisers 2nd Lieutenant: Matthew Fitzgerald Safety Officer: Rocco Umbro Firefighter: Jerry Barbagallo Firefighter: Lenny Callagy Here are the Photo that are on Their Website http://public.fotki.com/WHFDJR/west-harrison-fire-/west-harrison-fire-/
