Welcome home ! ! ! ! Can't wait to see you up north

Dohhhhhh round 2

And no one had a camera ??????

Congrats Craig on an award that is well deserved to a person who has given so much his community unselfishly! ! ! !

is there even any firefighters that are active or were, that belong to this social club . I hear a lot of people talk about going to the bar there and they know nothing of the fire service. When did this club become such a social club? What do they need to go out and get a rig for? Maybe they should take some of that money and give it to a city they resdie in that could put that money to good use, like Poughkeepsie. Why should they give money to the city that they earned or worked for? Maybe the city should trim some fat from the budget or "Sell" their city to prospective commercial businesses to help rejuvenate the depressed areas and stop looking for handouts.

I hope these guys have good health insurance. You have the pak on your back use the mask, the smoke tells you that its nasty sh*t !!!!!!!!!! You took the time to spot the truck as it backed in, take 15 seconds and save your lungs !

That is something I could never comprehend, if you take best overall that should be your ONLY trophy. Not 6 other "Best" category trophies.........but who knows if you're tight with the judges anything can happen

Condolences to your family and those who knew him, may he be in a better place watching over his "family" and friends now.

Sure...if you care more about some item that you really don't have all that much room left for in a fire station, is going to collect dust and that no one will even remember what it was for when its either in a case or stored about 12 feet off the ground in 2 years. All in the name of putting people at risk in the name of a trophy. woooohoooo! polish the paratech's, vacuum the compartments....but don't wave at the public you serve and never mind an operational drill tonight we'll do "equipment" Congrats to CVAC on their trophies...they are a great organization with good managment/leadership and all around just good people All in the name of risking people who need emergency medical services for the risk of a trophy WOOO HOOO lets clean the defibs, put hospital corners on the linens on the stretcher and make sure the the disposable gloves are neatly stacked in the box. ALS were you allowed to wave at the crowds when u buttoned up that U.S.M.C. outfit NO you'd be doing sit ups or push ups til your bones broke through the skin.......

Hmmmmm wasn't it just posted in the urinal that the Town of Wappingers was conducting a complete in depth anyalsis of all TOWN OWNED buildings ? I think they mentioned that the current town hall still had few open permits from its errection date.

Dont get me wrong if he was driving like a knucklehead, I hope the fire district has a good lawyer and a BIG insurance policy! BUT What ever happened to the V&T Section of "FAILING TO YIELD RIGHT OF WAY TO EMERGENCY VEHICLES"??????????? VERY rarely do you see this written anymore. Why wasn't the operator issued that summons? I do believe there is a section in the V&T that states the driver must have their vehicle in "control" at all times.... Failing to YROW to Emergency Veh would fall under that section to say the least.
