  1. Yes, it is a near perfect replacement for E-121. It has some additional features that will be beneficial for us as well. The hose bed is about the same height as E-122 and is just as friendly if not friendlier than any other hose bed. The platform in the middle with the arrow stick can be stood on.
  2. RIP Patrick and a speedy recovery to the others who were injured. May God watch over the families of these awesome men through these tough times. We will keep you all in our prayers!
  3. There was a few people taking photos and video prior to the start of the parade and throughout. Some mentioned that they were making cd's. If so, how do we go about getting a copy?

  14. Listening to some calls on the scanner recently prompt me to ask the question. Whats in your back yard? I believe that it is imperative to know and understand the capbilities that exsist within your response area. One resource that I came across is the Rockland County Resource Guide that they send out I believe annually. It has each department and what their capbilities are. Very Awesome and valuable book. HAZMAT Capbilities Mass Decon Foam Confined Space FAST / RIT Teams Dive Teams Swift Water Resuce Ice/Cold Water Rescue Tech Rescue Rescue (i.e. low pressure, high pressure, extrication, Special Torches) Cascade All terrain vehicles (EMS, Brush, Rescue) etc... etc... etc...
  15. The FDVA is also on a National Response Team for major disasters throughout the US.
  16. The thought is not to have them respond as a sole resource, however; an immediate response along with the County HAZMAT team would obviously enhance the response greatly.
  17. Actually it was a car over a large ravine, into a large tree and then down into the large ravine landing on the large rock. Remember 585... I gave a sit rep on the car being off road into a large ravine poppy...
  18. I surely spent a lot of time back in the day cleaning 51 for parades and inspections! That was a great rig. I just recently pulled out some old plaques that I was presented for cleaning that beast. I can recall many trips to the Firemen’s Home stopping at the dinner some where in northern Dutchess County. Dino empty out the tank at Red Lights in a paper cup. LoL Good Times! Great Pics. EJS1810 Big Bob was asking why the ladder was not on your web page.
