Elmsford?Quint single axle

its nothing more then a political joke! doesn't help the FF'S. he sounds like a 5th grader. yonkers did the same with pagano years back. i feel sorry for the guys in mt vernon.

they made richardson the commissioner?thats politics for you.

what about the other nights and day calls? this is a on going thing in sleepyhollow stop the excuses .

i agree put your SCBA on all the time its all about being safe but maybe he had to do some thing fast or check on some thing? but a stupid remark about he wants CANCER? REALLY that doesn't belong on this site.

he should have a pack on.but you dont why he is doing what he is doing.i see this in nyc all the time so relax NO ONE WANTS CANCER VERY POOR STATEMENT for a trainer like your self to say.

This is all the time. It's a shame the people of Sleepy Hollow do not get the care that they should get. Tarrytown VAC is up there all the time. They should get shut down at best.Peoples lives our on the line.

NYSDOT do not use a wing man its a driver only.

NYSDOT runs the same trucks but in yellow.

not saying any thing abt being on the job.but what makes you think i am not? there you go guys black and white.i believe port chester and tarrytown have the same complement of rigs 2 ladders 4 or 5 engines a rescue and all under 10.4 miles away so say what you want the truthe is the truthe.if your a dispatcher and you send your own dept witch is 10.4 miles away to relocate? other depts also have a half of dozen engines and 2 trucks a rescue with suport equipment lots and lots of man power and tech training also.so why have a cad system? im not talking bad abt ossining at all but how bad the call was you would want sopport there ASAP.but i gues ossining is the answer to all in your mind. you ben in florida to long west has grown with training .but its ok that you dispatch your own dept to relocate 10.4 miles away?im glad my loved ones wernt on that train.greenville has a trained tech rescue team.you have no clue florida. you may not agree with me and i dont care its my thoughts and i posted them you sound a little upset take a break.it is favoritism at best i hear alot of jobs getting dispatched in the county its out there just a matter of time when the bosses pick up on it. the radio and dispatch# thats all. well if your on there run card for back up then you should have ben dispatched to stand by at VFD.

my point the ego.s and power trips not that of the IC but at 60 controls discretion sending family and friends and to the dept they belong to.safety to FF.S and civilians comes first.

the grand scheme should get what you need there sooner then later kinda like a fast team? thats my experience tells me its not a parade.get what you need ASAP.i dont think the dispatchers should have that kind of power to show favoritism to the dept they belong to.

i know all about mutual aid very well and i agree with you to a point.but there is favoritism.

or maybe just maybe the dispatcher is a member of said FD? thats what it is?you have fairview hartsdale sleepyhollow tarrytown just a few miles away.favoritism with few dispatchers i noticed.

they kick me off all the time and never give me a answer? people dont want to know the truthe and if your not part of a crew paid or volunteer they dont want to hear you.its a clown show at best.

why stand by fd units from ossining isnt that a little far away?maybe armonk or west harrison white plains ?

you just can win with the team they have here what a shame.but we all do the same job so i thought.no one here is saying training is not important our lives depend on it and so doe.s the public.s .so if any dept is that reckless abt not training then shame on them.my volunteer dept we strive to train we also have a few FDNY brothers that are members and there more then happy to teach the guys what they know and take the rookies under there wing now thats team work and brother hood not like the BS on this thread.come on guys stop the petty bickering and go and train.the volunteers look up to the paid guys and would love to be on the job one day so set an example for them be positive for the future of the fire service.you know what start here right now paid depts in west reach out to a volunteer dept near you an invite them to a training night and show them the way.there.s a lot of experience typing away here.thats team work.

smh really.no feelings hurt at all thank you.but this going around and around when will it stop?we all know we need to train things change every day find some thing els to bash .you guys keep on with the volunteer thing give it a break. your not changing the world so move on all this BS is not worth any thing. i wish all the new FF.s the best with the new FF1class.

Actually, the majority of suburban communities would save the property owners money if they 1) consolidated on a regional or at least a town basis. Why Westchester needs more engines than FDNY to cover a little more than a 10th of the population and in many communities to respond with only 1 ff per rig is idiotic. 2) Switching from volunteer to career actually saves property owners annual out of pocket costs. Since insurance savings are directly tied to your FD and the personnel typing/training. In my community we calculated that to keep the same ISO rating with 100% volunteers would require over 450 interior volunteers. In the meantime we are saving our property owners more money that the annual FD Budget. To bad most people both inside and outside the fire service have no understanding of the economics of fire protection and always fall back to volunteers are cheaper than career. And they are, but only if you leave out the most expensive components of fire protections (the FD is the 4th on the list, even for career depts.) You have no idea how involved some of us are in this. I also know how many depts. in this county can't get the most basic trained and staffed units on the road the majority of the time. i can tell how involved you and the unions are involved in this working against the local volunteers nice job guys.remember all you say and do but 90% of volunteers make up the fire service.and meny of us started out as a volunteer.my volunteer dept is in good shape in training and is priority no.1! we respond with more FF.1 FF.2 then most dept.s do and take great pride the training we take in house and at the county fire training center and all are first aid CPR and AED certs.the volunteer bashing has to stop guys.a county paid dept is not going to happen in westchester so lets train and get along.

LOL.

not at all you know everything not me but like i said i am done with this one.i hope you really dont believe there was 31 in the first 12min do you.i do have more respect for you than that.

hey what about that fire in greenville the other night?how meny depts did it take to get enough man power to fight the fire?and how long did it take for the back up co.s to arrive on scene? the volunteers listen to the radio.s to.this has to stop you key board FF.s need better things to do.we can go around and around for months what a waist of time.get up and go train shut down the computer and go check your tools do something good with your time.i dont have the time in my fire house to play key board FF.SMH.AND GREEVILLE did a great job the other night not bashing the brothers at all.stay safe i am done on this.

RIP brothers.

there getting a new one soon.they have a very good dive program and there a bunch of nice a very well trained guys.

yorktown has not disbanded their dive team,that was somers.
