    Speaking on "Suburban Firefighting," Chief Jim Silvernail of the City of Kirkwood, Missouri Fire Dept, captivated the audience of approximately 400 firefighters, at yesterday's 17th Annual Lt. Andy Fredericks.
     
    Our thanks to all those firefighters who attended and especially those who regularly support our seminar, as well as Chief Silvernail for a great presentation.
     
    Proceeds of each seminar are given to four designated charities: the Lt. Andy Fredericks Scholarship Fund, the Lt. Tyler Rush Scholarship Fund, the New York State Firemen's Home and Burncare Everywhere.
     
    Andy's company, FDNY Squad Co. 18, was on hand, as always, to sell T-shirts and support the cause.
     
    Also in attendance was FDNY Battalion 19, Engine Co. 75 and Ladder Co. 33 to sell memorial T-shirts for Deputy Chief Michael Fahy, recently killed in the line of duty; proceeds going to Chief Fahy's family.
     
    Great job done by all!!!
     
    From the Elmsford Chiefs and the Seminar Committee....

  9. Fireman488 liked a post in a topic by ex-commish in The Tailboard Rider   
    I rode the tailboard for many years until 1991 and though I will admit I miss that era and everything about it looking back it was dangerous and to hear there are some today still riding it like mentioned above is unbelievable that it still exists to some capacity
  10. Fireman488 liked a post in a topic by Remember585 in Assisted Living Facilities And Falls   
    If you're in emergency services and you're complaining about actually helping someone who needs help - you might need to rethink what you're doing with your life.  If you don't like waking up and going to a call that isn't "juicy" or "salty" enough for you, cry me a river. It's what you signed up for.

  20. Fireman488 liked a post in a topic by FFPCogs in "political correctness" is not correct   
    Fascism flourishes when the fear to speak your mind replaces the freedom to do so. Remember Nazism was "politically correct" once too.

    To the "PC" police...
    You may not like what I have to say, but I have the right to say it...you only have the right not to listen.

    Tonight, at the State Of Putnam County address, the Putnam County Executive announced the new Commissioner of Emergency Services for Putnam County, Anthony Sutton. Commissioner Sutton is the former commissioner for the Westchester County DES, has held numerous other emergency services leadership roles in the area, and a very good man who I think Putnam County will be lucky to have.
    Congrats to Commissioner Sutton!

  25. Fireman488 liked a post in a topic by dave0820 in What has happened to this site?   
    My guess is it's all the negativity that goes on here, as a matter of fact my gut tells me to shut up and not even post this. Seems that no matter what is said here someone puts a spin on it that its wrong or a waste of time or money or should be done differently, it's just not worth all the negativity to start a conversation here and for that I feel bad, I always enjoyed this site and still check it several times a day just to find out there is nothing new. That's just my two cents, but I'm sure someone will say I'm wrong.
