I'm in for two.. the Pierce Quantum and Oshkosh Stryker models are rediculously detailed.. this really fills the gap C3 has left open in the hobby. I'm not really a CFR guy but I did buy an undisclosed amount of the Quantums. I also can't wait for the Miami-Dade PUC and the Velocity 75' HAL

Or Shandaken... have fun with that commute LOL..

Yeah I got back to you.. not me but a bad day for all, thanks for looking out bro.

We need some motivational posters around the site after a thread starter like that... ones that say things like "TEAMWORK", "PERSEVERANCE", "PRIDE", "DEDICATION".. etc.. Like this-

My bad, I should have known my Fireman Superhero was on top of that.. I'll try to pay more attention in class!

Anything on Pete?

Fire Districts are the only entities that can NOT bill. Ambulance Districts may bill.

More than likely the County agency has an independant contractor memorandum of understanding with the municipalities serviced stating that the municipality itself will be charged a flat or variable rate (ALS-1, ALS-2) by the County agency for services rendered. Next month check your local Town board minutes for resolutions that outline this.

"I'm totally serial!!!"

That 'stache unleashes a fury only comparable to an offended Chuck Norris high on opium ... I need one..

They make a cologne out of those things you know ... It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good. .... They've done studies, you know. Sixty percent of the time, it works every time.

HAPPY ST. PATS TO ALL! BE RESPONSIBLE AND HAVE FUN!!! SEE YOU ON THE TRAIN OR IN THE CITY!!!

Holy S....! That's an expensive ambulance! My guess is that you spec'd it with the power pro stretcher/ stairchair/ and all other misc. equip. for that price. I think we may end up sending a beg letter out this year. Those seem to work wonders once in a while you just can't overdo it. If this is the first line item in the town budget for the ambulance service in 40 years then you guys should get anything you want! Best of luck!

You guys must bill...LOL.. Nice Ambulance I hope it serves you well!

"The Captain and FF Lewis, beaten from the devil they have crushed come to the front of the house for a well deserved breather. Onlookers are shocked, as this is the first time anyone has EVER seen the Capt. wearing his bunker pants in his 20 year career. FF Lewis kneels and just as the onlookers think he has had it, he turns to the Captain and onlookers and proudly exclaims- "GROUP 1 ! DON'T HATE US 'CAUSE YOU AIN'T US!!!!!"

Sorry it was just left wide open.. I swear I'm done now...

+1 on that..

Haha sounds like Ken is back to his old self if he's cursing the lack o' Jack.. he had us scared for a while there. Nice pics one heck of a road trip! One-One-Oh to Brooklyn K.. Martin without Daniels is like a respectable callgirl sans stilletos... take some spy shots of "Da Shops" next time you go for a ride!

There's truly no rhyme or reason aside from Department numbers in Ulster. I really wish it was like Dutchess but it truly isn't and here's why- Fire Departments- 15- Accord 16- Binnewater (now disbanded) 17- Big Indian- Oliverea 18- Bloomington 19- Centerville - Cedar Grove 20- Claryville (now under Sullivan Co. 911) 21- Clintondale 22- Connely 23- Cottekill 24- Cragsmoor 25- East Kingston 26- Ellenville 27- Esopus 28- Gardiner 29- Glasco 30- High Falls 31- Highland 32- Hurley 33- Kerhonkson 34- Kripplebush - Lyonsville 35- Lomontville 36- Malden - West Camp 37- Marbletown 38- Marlboro 39- Milton 40- Modena 41- Mount Marion 42- Napanoch 43- New Paltz 44- Olive 45- Phoenicia 46- Pine Hill 47- Plattekill 48- Port Ewen 49- Plattekill 50- Rosendale 51- Ruby 52- St. Remy 53- Saugerties 54- Sawkill 55- Saxton - Asbury - Kaatsbaan 56- County Fire 57- Shawangunk Valley 58- Stone Ridge 59- Spring Lake 60- Tillson 61- Ulster Hose 62- Vly Atwood 63- Walker Valley 64- Wallkill 65- Wawarsing (Disbanded) 66- West Hurley 67- Woodstock Fire units have no rhyme or reason aside from sometimes having the prefixes of E/R/T/L/M etc and that's even going away.. Most start at 10 and go up from there, and some do the 10- 20-30-40-50 thing. Generally if there are two stations or above in a district most if not departments elect to number the apparatus in the station to reflect the station # ie. "apparatus X" out of Woodstock station 1 would be 67-10,11,12, station 2 would be 67-20, 21, 22 etc... Chiefs are all messed up too.. top ranking usually will be Car XX, then 1st asst. or deputy being XX-1... and so on. These can sometimes be numbered by station too.. like the Asst. Chief from Olive Company 4 being 44-4.. etc.. Some do the "XX-A", "XX-B", thing for chiefs but mostly that's for company Captains. County Cars use numbers with the prefix 56, as well as the dispatchers. Arson Task Force uses letters. Someday I want to use a symbol.. "the Firefighter formerly known as..." anyways.. Ambulance Squads- 71- Kerhonkson Accord Rescue - Unit 600, 601 72- Marbletown First Aid - Unit 611, 612 (I think) 73- Olive First Aid- 630, 631, 631 74- Ellenville First Aid- ? 75- Esopus Ambulance- ? 76- Wallkill Ambulance- ? 77- Marlboro Ambulance- 604, 605, 606 (I think) 78- Shandaken Ambulance- 625, 626, 78-50 79- Diaz Ambulance- 664, 665, 667, 79-50 80- New Paltz Rescue- 621, 622, 623, 80-10 82- Alamo Ambulance- Medic X 83- Mobile Life Support- 2XX *Gardiner (635), Hurley(?), Modena (640), Plattekill (647 +1?), Shawangunk Valley(?), West Hurley(667, 668), and Woodstock (670, 672, 673, 67-50) also run FD ambulances* This also adds to the pandemonium as all ambulances have unique numbers in the six-hundred range. One would think that the numbers would correspond to the department #s.. but that would make sense right? So lets take for instance Shandaken Ambulance.. 2 ambulances.. Unit 625 & 626... ??? The one thing that is constant is the Ambulance Squads (and Fire Department) that have medics.. these units correspond to the Department # and have the last two numbers of 50. Additional medics count upwards.. ie 51,52, etc.. so Ellenville Rescue's Medic would be 74-50, backup medic is 74-51, etc.. Squad Chiefs/ Captains are the same as fire.. with highest usually being "Car XX" as an ]example.. so for instance Shandaken's Grand Poobah is Car 78, 1st Assistant Idiot is 78-1, etc.. Then to make things EVEN MORE confusing you throw in the commercials.. these guys are on their own... Mobile Life 268, Hudson Valley 64,723, Alamo Medic 15, you get the idea.. In addition to the above shenanigans we have some "behind the fence" Departments whose #'s I don't really know- 85- Eastern Correctional Facility Mohonk Fire Brigade Watchtower Fire Brigade/Ambulance ....it drives me crazy every day I'm not in Dutchess!

Full article here Wow.. sounds like politics as usual in Utica.

Showing age is the mentioining the two old tahoes, the old blazer, or the Mercury Marquis.. white and blue of course LOL!

So if it went to a second twice does it make it one big fourth? LOL! Don emulates the red devil.. it will come.. and he will fight the animal with the fury of that guy with the CAPS LOCK. Lunchbox, get a big car fire today?

Batdan and Robison .. although I still think the fireman superhero (BTW he has 78 fans on his facebook group) is still the greatest. ...We're kind of a big deal..

Seth can you put custom lettering like, let's say just for instance, "Member of the Week Award Winner" on them? Just sayin'

I'm not Don.. that's the problem!
