Technically the color is Wildberry Red. Always looked maroon to me.

personalities over principles ?

I once approached the chief of an upstate NY fire dept about starting such a program. Their firehouse then had sufficient room for attendees. His response was, "We don't need none of you a&%#@!* college f&%$@#* !!! At the time, I was already a qualified pump operator in my home volunteer fd. Wish I had a buck for every time their siren went off and I would go to buff and wait,and wait,and wait for them to respond. Given the national trend, I'm sure they're still short handed. A case of LOSE/LOSE unfortunately.

Finally, the voice of reason is heard ! Thanks chief.

Don't they man the rescue with the firefighters from the ladder in HQ ? The rank and file need to go door to door and inform the citizens in the L34 response area of what is going on.

maybe earnie davis? just joking.

should have been done ages ago

R.I.P. brothers

lots of "short" jacking

Power plant being built in middletown (orange county) and another in Dover (dutchess). still not enough to offset the closing of Indian Pt. Cuomo talks about getting (aka buying) power from "our friends up north" (Canada) Maybe I'm wrong, but here we are, supposedly dependent on foreign oil, now he wants us to be dependent on foreign electricity. He's worse than his father, who sold the state down the river.

interesting article the lawyers for both sides will end up laughing all the way to the bank

a class act all the way

Exactly

Are the bottles compatible with either unit ?

Ladder didn't look like it was up properly, seemed too upright. Didn't anybody see this ? What happened to the use of hose straps, in my day we carried one in our turnout coat pocket. Anyone know the extent of injuries ?

Sounds like a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Geez, when we did something wrong the nuns smacked us.

its loud near an airport ? what a surprise. lets not forget the people that move into a house or apartment next to a firehouse then want the firehorn shut off, and no sirens when leaving the bay going to a call.

Heaven forbid the politicians fix whats broken first

Unfortunately for her and her neighbors, even in this day and age, the siren serves as a very important redundancy, which is mentioned.

this has disaster written all over it

what a shame. my thoughts and prayers go out to his family. R.I.P.

She's joking, isn't she ?
