ex-commish

I feel having a medic closer is always a better option espeically when dealing with cardiac, respratory and allergic issues to name a few. I also feel at times EMT's tend to hesitate to transport because they know the medic is on the way. I believe in NYS protocols it says not to delay transport.

Ethanol is the way to go but we are victims of an administration ( and I am a republican) that seems to have high interest in oil companies. In my opinion Mr. Bush should have a summit with the oil company leaders and demand they lower the prices on behalf of all of us. The federal trade commision needs a fire lit in thier a**es as well and start investigating why the prices are so high. Unless we the voting taxpayers and consumers make governement accountable we will continue to pay over 3 dollars a gallon for gas. Iran will be the next excuse as to why we will be paying 4 dollars when oil gets near 100 dollars a barrel. We have to stop financing those who despise our way of life.

May he rest in peace.

We are going to have our people do it on-line and for those who may have trouble with material we will do some in-house training on it together. I hope to have my dept compliant by summer's end.

We expirmented with Interspiro years back. Had several members including myself try them in the mask confidence course and other evolutions. We found they were fitting for the dumpster and remained with Scott.

I believe some of the $$$ comes from a surcharge on your phone bill.

If there was ever a deserving family it is them. I am glad they were chosen.

What I did a few years back was run an in-house class for about 15 of our members so we have a good group to draw from at an incident. I covered building const also allthough not to the degree listed in 1521.

3 very good instructors.

Been a Yankee fan since I knew a baseball bat was more than just hitting my younger brother with. As far as Steinbrenner....love him or hate him...he knows how to bankroll a team.

A Home Depot is being built as we speak in my area and is scheduled to be opened in November. Any one here ever deal with them? Anything I should know? We viewed the plans and gave input for water supply but I would like to hear any experiences with them. Thank you.

This is correct but CPR questions if I remember correctly took up a good part of it.

Anytime you have a group of firefighters ready to bail out our own is a plus. Andy Mancusi Chief Hawthorne FD

I must of been asleep during the light 101 class. Can someone tell me what exactly is a Roto Ray and what is it's functional purpose? Thank you. Andy Mancusi Chief Hawthorne FD

I second that. Andy Mancusi Chief Hawthorne FD

I could not agree more with this. Another brave soul swelling heaven's ranks. May he rest in peace. Andy Mancusi Chief Hawthorne FD

What a tradegy. May he rest in peace. Heaven's ranks of the bravest has gone up once again. Andy Mancusi Chief Hawthorne FD

Congratulations from your neighbors from right up 9-A. I look forward to working with you. Andy Mancusi Chief Hawthorne FD

This answer is only a guess as I have dealt with the military before and find they prefer to handle thier own incidents and not rely on outside help. Andy Mancusi Chief Hawthorne FD

The answer is simple....either volunteer depts aggressively recruit more volunteers, enter into pre-arranged mutual aid agreemtents, or hire people. I don't see any other way. Andy Mancusi Chief Hawthorne FD

I have to agree with this. Today we (chiefs) have more to fight for than what commissioners, who as trustees of the fire district have the right to put what they want on thier apparatus anyway. Andy Mancusi Chief Hawthorne FD

Good luck to all three. Andy Mancusi Chief Hawthorne FD
