Godspeed.

The story was on WPIX tonight and a message about the Blood Drive was also on News12. http://www.wpix.com/news/wpix-askel-leukemia-story,0,4112885.story

Nothing better than knowing you literally saved a life.

The Mount Vernon Police Department, Mount Vernon Police Association and City of Mount Vernon are holding a blood drive in honor of Aksel Jarosz, the 11 month old son of two Mount Vernon Police Officers. Aksel was recently diagnosed with leukemia and is currently being treated at Westchester Medical Center. The blood drive will be held at the Elk's Lodge, located at 88 West Lincoln Avenue, Mount Vernon, NY from 12 PM to 8:30 PM on Monday, January 3, 2011. Please help a family in Blue out in their time of need. To schedule a time to donate please call or text 914-355-9110 or email RockOnAksel@gmail.com

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about, someone using their brain to solve a problem. All these crews 'stuck' for 12 hours could have gotten out and walked somewhere, anywhere.

Exactly. You're telling me that NO ONE was willing to take some initiative and find alternate means to the hospital, from the FF or Lt. on scene all the way to the Duty Chief? Amazing.

Godspeed.

There were a total of 9 cars delivered to MVPD and all 9 were put into service at the same time, completely replacing the currently working Patrol fleet. Those cars were rotated into 'spare vehicle' status. The new cars feature all Whelen LED lighting, dual spot lights on the two man patrol cars. a battery saver feature, all plastic rear seats and metal rear window guards. Also on order is a new ESU patrol vehicle.

Good luck to those about to get hired or assigned to the academy. You'll make lifelong friends and relationships there and believe it or not you'll actually have a good time.

Let's see the spin they put on the Mt. Pleasant/Pleasantville shooting this morning.

Wow, what an utter tragedy. My condolences to her loved ones and co-workers.

Both the Mobile app and main site are working for me.

MVPD has two former NYPD heavy rescues and a Ford F-550 truck.

EMS, the TRUE forgotten heroes of 9/11. We all hear and appreciate the 343, 37 and 23 but we hear NOTHING about the EMS portion of the response and those lives lost in such a noble profession. To those lost, 'WE WILL NEVER FORGET!'

Now to just get blue as a forward facing color too, like the rest of the United States, heck the rest of the WORLD!

And utter tragedy. My most humble and sincere condolences to the family, friends and co-workers of both men.

Looks like it is an administrative merging. Good.

Godspeed.

My God, that man literally gave his life to the job. He could have retired long ago and yet continued to 'Do Us Proud'. Godspeed.

Isn't Engine 59 from Manhattan? NOW THAT'S MUUUUUUUUTUAL AID! LOL!

Per News12, the body of James Drago was recovered today by the Larchmont PD. Godspeed. My condolences to his family, friends and loved ones.

Godspeed.

Godspeed.

My most sincere condolences to Michael Perry's family, friends and brothers and sisters in blue. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends -- John 15:13
