A couple of Hellfighter missles in the police heilo should take care of the problem. Idiots.

Now, if they could only bond for more manpower.

Ditto. However, I can't wait till they turn the cell site on at the HRP and Weaver St. Still getting dropped calls between Weaver and mamaroneck Ave.

Right across the bridge from the office. Not good.

Saw the "new" Engine 6 on the ramp at 470 this morning. Haven't seen anything else.

Over the next several years, we are going to see a reduction of all government services. Reductions in funding for emergency services, highways, public transit, health services and public utilities (water, sewers, etc.), among others, will all face significant reductions.

Wasn't there a designated driver ?

I couldn't have said it better !

Superb photos !

Oh contrare. Amber lights are reserved for hazard vehicles. See NYSVTL § 375 (41). Colored and flashing lights. http://www.nysgtsc.state.ny.us/emer-vt.htm#sec375

Let the rumors and speculation begin !

Superb !!!
