haha I was thinking the same thing. Risky operation

I think that you are citing the wrong thing Pasobuff. I have one on the back of my car and I've never had a problem. Not like it matters but tow trucks have rear facing red lights. I don't see the point on regulating whats rear facing. Our department has man power respond to the scene. Anything that keeps my car from getting hit i'd put in.

Maybe some attention should be paid as to why some volunteer EMS people don't want or can't go on calls? In some places in Northern westchester and EMS call can take anywhere from an hour or two.

Kudos to the dispatcher. What a great story.

I could see a problem with aerials and ground ladders if they are low enough. The graphic could probabally cause interference with placement.

Aliens?

Anyone have any videos that they would like to share? I've never heard of this.

Beautiful Mack good luck with it. Any reason why you bought an older model year apparatus as opposed to something new?

I saw this on firehouse. They said that they never found out the cause of the first fire and just fixed the damage. Doh! is right

THey are very useful for patent removal on unlit paths, walkways etc.

Congrats

I didn't think that Mohegan VAC was associated with the FD? In Somers our FD runs the ambulances so all members can go on EMS calls.

Not as good a photographer as some other members here, but here we go. Somers FD took delivery of a 2008 Ford E-450, Type III, PL Custom Medallion 170. Photos by JM15

I believe it is being sold. It is listed as surplus now.

Not in Dutchess, but Somers FD in Westchester has a rehab unit. It is a converted bus with rehab and monitoring supplies. It is available for mutual aid anywhere. It is a great resource to have on scene. Pics by JM15

We just got it yesterday. It a new paint scheme than our other two. It is white over red. I'll have some pictures later on today.

Congrats chief

Does anyone know if you can take more than one test on the day of the exam? ie: FF1 and FF2

I just watched that episode myself and was very ammused. Some of the peoples reactions were great. Was that a local show? That was the Stew Leonards in Yonkers and the second part was at the gas station in the center of Yorktown.
