$12.00 HR SHOULD = 12 COLLEGE CREDITS =D> I think that is INSANE... I can't wait to see the recruitment efforts now. Hey, Do you wanna get shot, stabbed, and risk being killed for $12.00 hr? TOTAL SLAP IN THE FACE AND KICK IN THE _ALLS! (212) RECRUIT GOOD BLESS THE NYPD!

Call me crazy (some will) =D> but you gotta hear this one. On 154.430 which is FDNY Citywide I heard a Dispatcher NOT FDNY with an obvious out of the area accent dispatching an Ambulance to a call for Diff. Breathing at the Harper Woods Condos with a cross street of Old Homestead. Bored... I began to search who this might be. I checked the FCC database of 154.430 for the NY, NJ, CT, and PA areas. I also did a search of "Harper Woods Condos" and I came across Harper Woods, Michigan. I checked Mapquest and guess what? They have a street called Old Homestead AND as per the FCC Database of MI various Emergency Services in Wayne County on 154.430 (Harper Woods is in Wayne County) Anyone monitor 154.430 and pick up radio transmissions from out of the area? I could understand NY, NJ, CT, PA areas coming over but MI? That is about 640 miles away... WOW

I am pretty sure a NYS law was passed not long ago that ALL schools must have an AED. I remember hearing something to that effect. The AED is pretty much Idiot Proof and will walk you thru the steps. As soon as the machine in opened or power turned on: 1. "Place Electrodes" 2. "Press to Analyze" (Some Analyze by themself) 3. "Stand Clear" 4. "Shock Indicated, Charging" (Note the cool charging sounds vary by unit) 5. "Press to Shock" You have Lifepack, Zoll, Cardiac Science, Laerdal, Etc... I hear ALSFirefighter teaches a good AED class. "YOU, GO CALL 911 AND GET AN AED"

I just got an e-mail from Hearst Entertainment. They produced the TV show "The Bravest"

X635, Do you have DISH? Let me know. I will get a 6 FT wedge and a tray of Baked Ziti and ALL EMTBravo members come over to your house to watch "The Bravest" LOL =D>

Writer: RWC130 1925 Hrs Westchester County PD, State Police, Croton FD, Verplanck FD, Rockland FD Dept 18 in the area checking. 1938 Hrs 60-Control advises all FD units to "Keep Clear" Incident might be a Police matter. 1952 Hrs All FD units released.

I checked the "Reality TV" website and The Bravest is listed. Also, Rescue 911 Rescue Heros LAPD Code Red COPS BUT..... I don't see "Reality TV" listed on Cablevision. :roll:

My deepest condolences to the members of the Ossining Fire Department and the family of the Brother Firefighter we lost. RIP!

RIP Mike Neuner Brewster FD # 585 Peekskill PD # 27

I thought the show was good and very real. I was a little disapointed at the lack of "action" it got kinda boring but hey at least it was the real deal. How much editing do you think was done when the driver got lost going to the working fire? haha God Bless the Brothers of Baaaston FD! TWO THUMBS UP! =D>

Skooter, WOW... Who pissed you off? [-X What did I miss? Please fill me in. Hunting them down sounds good!

ALS making sense? Usually does.... But why BASH having a Lounge? We need one obviously! If we have a Snow Stand-By, or better yet another Department is on Stand-By in our Station they have NOTHING! Is that fair? ALS you have a nice Lazy-Boy Recliner and a Bed right? Work with us, Support us, Don't bash us or the projects we are putting a lot of time into. Members of my company are trying to do something to make it a better environment to "hang out" and improve morale at the Station. Could you imagine pulling out of the Station with a Full Crew ready to go to work? Nice! Ideally it would be nice to have a large area to train indoor and outdoor. I agree with you 100%! We do have a meeting room that we've been doing just that. In fact I remember not long ago someone teaching a class at our Station. Don't we have a place called the Westchester County Fire Training Center? Thanks for the Support! :roll:

Good Job Pat! =D>

As a tribute to Lt Pete Lund, FDNY Rescue 2 (Retired) here is some cool history about tools that FDNY Rescue 2 and Kentland FD Tower 33 carry. (Tools designed by Pete Lund) The information below is from the Kentland FD website. The articles were all written by Pete Lund. Peter B. Lund April 20, 1951 to June 14, 2005

I have a 2003 Ford Ranger. I guess I need to carry two 15 LB Dry Chem. BOTH for my OWN vehicle! #-o

585 use to date one of them but she left him for ALS. =D>

Where is the Car Wash at?

I attended the Funeral Services for my longtime pal Pete Lund with my 2nd Lt of E130. If you could ever use the word AMAZING to describe a Funeral Service Pete's was the one. You had well over a thousand Firefighters from various Departments on Long Island, FDNY R3, R2, R1, L120, Kentland FD in MD, Boston FD, Chicago FD, Illionis FD, and on... It was a very sad day but the turnout of Firefighters I am sure made the Lund family so proud. Signal 5-5-5-5 has been transmitted. God Bless you Pete!
