YeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Thomas

Looking nice boys!!! Thomas

I heard Pleasant Valley 56-69 call Out Of Service en-route to City Of Beacon. Now I know City of Beacon got hit hard big time with trees and wires and collapsed buildings. I am just curious are they going to assist in the clean up? Are they using more man power from other departments?? I was just wounder I know their Tanker was there for 2 days. Thomas

Seriouslly thats what I said you and me could have taken 39-33, just would have had to wait on the apron for me. Thomas

Ok Thank You I didnt realize Arlington and New Hamburgh had FAST Teams Thank You for clearing that up I stand corrected. Thomas

Well then can you correct what is wrong because that is what I know. Not saying I know all, but thats what I have been told. Thomas

New Hamburgh and Arlington do not have FAST Teams, Fairview is one Station and City of poughkeepsie would need major back up to cover thier station that gets stripped. Also Hughsonville is right near Rt. 9 so it will take 15-20 min to get thier and I believe it was a ack up FAST Team not the primary, I could be wrong. City Of Poughkeepsie uses Highland FAST Team Over Fairview sometimes, because Fairview is operating as a back up engine or ladder. Its the same with City of Beacon useing Pleasent Valley Tanker this weekend East Fishkill and Glenham are way closer. Dont wanna strip your fellow departments. Thomas

From what I heard Orange County was in a State Of Emergancy by 1600, which shut down I-84, also heard thier were mutiple jacknife tractor trailers on the Dutchess side. I only heard 1 call for I-84 and that was West Bound in East Fishkill. Also if you remove these people, how do you remover thier vechile to open up in the morning??? Honestlly they should hae shut it down totally from the Conn State Line to the Penn State Line. That is my opinion. Thomas

Who has them? Or who is in them?? Towns, Villiages, City's??? Time???? Location????? Thanks!!! Thomas

Totally Agree With You Don...Its Lime Kiln Road. East Fishkill, Hughsonville, Pleasant Valley, West Clinton, Amenia< I am sure thier are more but that is off of the top of my head!!! Thomas

This afternoon a Trooper was Seriously Injured at a traffic stop by an out of control SUV. LOHud.com http://www.lohud.com/article/20100226/NEWS02/2260380/1018/NEWS02/Trooper-injured-in-Taconic-accident My Prayers go out to the families. Thomas

No offense why did City Of Beacon take a Tanker from Pleasant Valley, when Putnam, Glenham, East Fishkill, Hughsonville are much closer??? Thomas

Any cost to get in??? Thomas

As far as I know if a Fire Hydrant is on your property, you are responsible to clean out the hydrant and if it is on a non owned property the fire department handles it. But I have done it before, if you need it now you just slide you feet across the ground and clean it. Thomas

THE ORANGE COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICE HAS ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WILL BE STAFFING 2 EMERGENCY SHELTERS FOR THE RESIDENTS EFFECTED BY THIS STORM, AN ESTIMATED 72,000 WITHOUT POWER. THE MONROE-WOODBURY MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND THE MIDDLETOWN HIGH SCHOOL WILL BE OPENING THEIR DOORS AT 3:00 PM Please Pass This Along To People In Need!!! Thomas

Anyone know any company or website that sends text messages about major incidents??? Like Fire, Road Closure, ECT.??? Thomas

Nice pics, but what was the call??? Info on it??? Thomas

As far as I know they are getting a larger tanker. Thomas

This house has been thier for almost 10 years...it is my dream house. I still wanna buy it!!! Thomas

I wanna seeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thomas

This might help boys. BVAC http://www.beaconvac.org/ This is from the History Section o the BVAC Website The Beacon Volunteer Ambulance Corps was first started in 1958 due to impetus from a Beacon police officer and a Beacon Engine Company member named Walter Detwiller. He was a transplant from New Jersey, but while still living in New Jersey, his son's life was saved by a volunteer ambulance corps in the area. He thought that it would greatly benefit the community to have our own ambulance service in Beacon and he went to work on the project. He enlisted the help of Joe Catalano and George Cable and the members of the Beacon Engine Company and recruited 29 people to start the Beacon Volunteer Ambulance Corps. The initial ambulance was a 1948 burned out Cadillac ambulance, donated from a dealer in New Jersey, that the members refurbished. The ambulance was housed at the Beacon Engine Company, which also housed our emergency phone. Soon we outgrew our facilities there and through the efforts of the Beacon Engine Company, an old two bay garage was purchased and donated to BVAC. This was our new home. As the years passed, BVAC again felt the growing pains and in 1975 construction on the current building commenced. This was done primarily by volunteers and the heavy construction was through the Naval Reserve Seabee Unit located in the area. Construction continued for five long years. The BVAC Headquarters as we know it today was dedicated in May of 1980. There was no county dispatch system for us in the beginning, so at first, 3, then 7 members had phones installed in their homes to receive emergency calls. They would get on the phone and call members to man the ambulance whenever an emergency call came in. In 1980 a new dispatch system came to BVAC as the Beacon Police Department began to answer the phone lines and they would, in turn, dispatch us by way of our, then new, pagers. This continued until 1984 when we joined the Dutchess County Bureau of Fire dispatch system, which we still use to this day. We have changed and upgraded our service many times since our incorporation on April 16, 1959. We became New York State Certified in 1990, Defibrillation Certified in 1991, and provide complete Advanced Life Support by way of contract providers in October of 1996. We currently run a fleet of three modern, fully equipped, New York State Certified ambulances, as well as a Basic Life Support First Response vehicle. We have also recently added a Mass Casualty Incident Trailer. We currently run approximately 2200 calls per year, which makes us one of the busiest volunteer services in the county. Thomas
