HFD201

Pelham, Pelham Manor, Greenville, Fairview, Hartsdale, Mamaroneck

There were multiple incidents ongoing at the time. Greenville and Fairview were operating on the Sprain Brook Parkway at a double fatal MVA, Yonkers had a 3rd Alarm where New Rochelle had 1 and 1 covering as well as an Engine from Hartsdale, Hartsdale was also on standby for Greenville so Greenville Ladder 4 could not relocate due to their incident, Once their personnel cleared the parkway L4 relocated to Pelham I believe

The new SSU-15 is in service and R-29 i believe is being kept for the volunteers if im correct. Also, the old 1999 tahoe was replaced with a 2007-08 Tahoe which was assigned to 2151 and the former 2151 was reassigned as either 2154 or i believe i heard 2159 on the air with a radio test once, hopefully someone else can confirm this or correct any mis-information

Hartsdale was dispatched as FAST and remained as FAST until the fire was knocked down and under control at which point they relocated to Scarsdale Headquarters while the Scarsdale units were picking up from the scene

Perhaps a typo?? I thought it was quite interesting that the chief of a township with a population of close to 15,000 according to the 2000 Census is a mere 21 years old. I know several departments where you cannot join as a full member, not explorer, until you're 18 years old and are required to serve two years before becomming promoted to Lieutenant and then two more years as lieutenant before becoming Captain and so on, so what is the basis for having a 21 year old fire chief???

Currently Hartsdale is operating on the new high band radio system. This went into effect over a week ago. Only toned out on 46.26, then all other communication switches over to the new high band frequency

Congrats..........Greenburgh FD is made up of the three Fire Districts of Fairview, Greenville, and Hartsdale. (Town of Greenburgh, outside of White Plains) They make up the Greenburgh Firefighters Local Union.

According to Firehouse.com, Greenburgh Police-EMS has received a grant for $40,000 for Operations and Safety under the round 13 AFG (Assistance to Firefighters Grants)

I've bveen very displeased with my subscription. I subscribed in July in Baltimore at the expo, received my first issue in Late september which was the August issue over 3 months late. Then the September issue never showed up at all and thankfully October just showed up today but very unhappy.

Chief Mauro is still Chief

Repelling is not part of the Firefighter 2 Curriculum. I believe it is covered in the Rope Rescue-Operations Level class

Firefighter 2 consists of Incident Command Implications, Building Materials and Collapse, Special Rescue, Hydrant Flow and Operability, Hose Tools, Foam Operations, Flammable Liquids/Gases, Detection, Alarm Systems, Fire Cause and Origin, Fire Department Communications, Pre-Fire Planning, Special Situations, Strategy and Tactics In my class there was an emphasis on communication, situations, and a day of live fire scenarios

CT has changed their format...I just took it recently and passed my first practice test and received my certificate approximately a week or so later. It counts for the actually CPAT only if the conditions it is run under are up to the CPAT standard. For example, I went on a rainy day and there was question if it would count as an actually CPAT if i passed it because of puddles but they were cleared off and it was counted. Same thing for temperature, has to be over 42 degrees i believe and under whatever the max was but as long as those conditions are met it counts.

Couldn't agree more with you. Unfortunately we all know how this topic will end up, but it's a shame

How do they do the lottery they just randomly assign numbers to people despite what they score? What's the point of that if that's the case, you're not getting the best people out there if your taking someone with an 85 over someone with a 95 or better
