I routinely take photos of unboxing and opening archery items provided by my sponsors for posting on forums and blogs - it is pretty common.

Heavy Rescue, Light Rescue, Medium rescue, Rescue-Engine, Squad, or Ambulance?

Ahh....

Sorry, not familiar.

Job, Worker, Goin' to work, DO WORK!, J O B, Stretching on a dwelling, OSW, Going Good, All Hands, Confirmed Worker, Burner, Suit Up!, Dumpin' The Monitor, 10-75, and my favorite; Shake and Bake Boys, We Got A Barbecue!

Will they be changing the name from VAC to something else?

And backstep seats so small you cant fit two guys in gear in them!

Jack of all trades, master of none.

Na....your good..."Live Free Or Die" right?

AMEN! One of my pet peeves when I ran on a vollie ambulance... "ohhhh we go there too many times....it abusive..." BS...if you have a collection of old/sick/frail/etc people, you HAVE to expect they will need your servies!

Thank you for your service Trooper.

Seth just wants iPads out there so we can get pics from fire uploaded to Bravo in real time..LOL

Be nice if the neighbors to the West did this....but we would go broke buying spray paint.

I drove through Detroit...err..I mean ARLINGTON today...saw this building and was pleasantly surprised to see that not only did the AFD do a steallar job of extinguishing such a blaze, but it was a dmn good stop too..now I am no contractor, but i would assume this building IS repairable? And had they not held it to the building or origin, it would have been a bona fide BLOCK BURNER, destroying many businesses and local landmarks. I am almost positive the building on the exposure 4 side has a block long common basement ;a buddy has a tattoo parlor and leased the basement for.....an archery practice range . (unless that is a violation of town ordinance, then it's leased for storage... )

Them poor bastards from Fairview (Dutchess) kind of get screwed 6 ways to Sunday.

I'd say based on past hiring, that Ulster residents are fair game too.....

Outstanding photos from Pojonews.com; http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?avis=bk&dato=20130107&kategori=news01&lopenr=107012&ref=ph Bravo member "on the job" looks HOT...(get it...hot?..LOL)

Arlington (fire and fire based transporting EMS with EMT/Paramedic) City of Poughkeepsie (first response EMS only, transport by commercial EMS) LaGrange (fire and fire based transporting EMS with EMT/Paramedic) Fairview (fire based BLS transporting EMS) City of Beacon (first response EMS only, transport by VAC EMS) Pleasant Valley (first response EMS , transport by commercial EMS or vollie Ambulance with career member on occasion. Daytime staffing only for now) New Hackensack (?...this one always escaped me..) In addition, the Castle Point FD is a career, federal (I beleive; perhaps Beekman could verify?) department, that does not hire off of the civil service list. Not sure if anyone is hiring, but every year more jobs are getting bigger due to dwindling volunteer ranks, except the PFD..they fighting for what little manpower they have) And let me add - that if this test is valid for three years or so...i would ANTICIPATE volunteer departments in manpower crisis states to start looking to hire, even if they follow Pleasant Valley's lead with daytime only, and even if it is just as a "driver" capacity..but we all know that a foot in the door is a foot in the door, and today's "driver" will be tommorow's Senior Man.

Hahaha! Definitly! And to think of all the JOBS you robbed the men of over past few years wearing that bedpan! LOL

Typically, yes.

I've said it 100 times, and will say it until we get it - but I would pay whatever it took to get my town to the protection level of Arlington or LaGrange...career firefighters and paramedics.

Awesome job by the AFD members on scene, which, if I am not mistaken, is the same Group who had a JOB down the block with rescues a few days ago, right? It's GOTTA be the new gear....

Awesome

I have a pic of it too, taken at delivery.
