Exactly - and even if the chauffer wanted to enter the intersection a bit and spot the turntable by pulling hard left - the Chief's buggy is in the way. Obviously NOT from Westchester! LOL Awesome pics though Chris!

I will totally support that statement. EXCELLENT point. Thank you.

"Scoop and Runs" save lives.

Bumping this up - the event is this week, and there are many, many awesome donations for the raffle. I hope to see some Bravo Buffs there!

And for God's sake - no matter how white and shiny your coat and helmet are - if you want to stand right next to the incident - put your damn bunkers on! Man, I HATE the jorts and knee sock look with half turnouts!

While I agree...this may be a great time to look at the big picture...New Hamburg is literally right down the street with a badass tower ladder....Hughsonville is not far with another tower ladder....PECO is a bit further with a quint/stick....Rombout is further yet, but still closer than most with another tower ladder...and then there is Croft with a stick....let's face it - southern Dutchess is nicely covered with truck companies. While it is needed, is it really NEEDED? Don't get me wrong - I know a bunch of guys from Wappingers - and they are among the finest to serve. Some truly great firemen come from down there.

NIce pictures of Captain (then JHK Lt) Whaley and myself on the turntable of 36 Truck 2 years ago at a J O B in Millbrook. We are all pulling for you J! (photo by Bill Johnson - fdphotounit - one awesome photog!)

Wow.....

I have seen pics of most, if not all of these items, and can vouch they are exactly what he says they are. Wish I had the extra scratch to buy them M.

FDNY Family Weekend is a BIG difference from "Firefighter Appreciation Weekend"......

We have a few here too....

Thats what's known as a meatball over homeplate at the firehouse kitchen table! JUST BEGGING FOR A GRAND SLAM! LOL!

Understood - my apologies Brother.

Boston aint got nothin' on PCFD!

Love that smoke...Mmmm..Mmm..Good!

I care. All too often, I have operated at fires of all types where the IC has been one who preaches and practices, minimum amount of water to put the fire out..and by put the fire out, i mean, once the flame is gone, out... I myself am somewhat more aggressive...I feel that less damage is done by using enough water to confirm the fire has no threat of reignition, than the damage done by a rekindle. Don't pussyfoot around it....dump the tank and be confident! I think what Barry wrote should be tattooo'ed to IC's hands as a constant reminder. Rekindles exist...but I will do everything in MY power to make sure they don't...on MY watch.

Definitly do not want 60...just Yonkers.

Cool - gonna test out Camden County...the CMD has been going to nothing but J O B S today!

OK...I dowloaded it...Works great for Dutchess and Poughkeepsie...not so much for Yonkers and Camden City, NJ

Thanks guys...gonna check it out now.

OK...so i JUST entered the modern world and got an iPhone...and I want one of those cool, buffy scanner aps.. Looking to be able to get Dutchess County frequencies....and on occasion, if I am REALLY buffy...FDNY, Yonkers, etc... What is the best ap out there for said buffing?

Correct - just hit the "report post" icon and leave a message to reopen it. Mods will reopen it for you. It's an extra step, but they have always been accomodating for me doing such.

Correct me if I am wrong - but this SAME discussion took place LAST year too! BOOBS!

Awesome!

Nope...but I will refer this one to JBE, as this is his ball game. He can certainly explain it much better.
