One thing i noticed about LED's, my opinion is during incliment weather it is much easier on the eyes, both from an oncoming standpoint as well as being inside the vehicle. You don't get as much feedback if you will from rain drops or snow flakes as you would with the stobes. Also LEDs have a much longer life than strobes and are much more better equipped for areas of high vibration and moisture.

http://cms.firehouse.com/content/article/a...nId=46&id=50121 Found an interesting article from Florida. Looks like yet one more hazard they're adding to firefighting duty. To me this is a bit out of line for us, let animal control or perhaps some other agency worry about controlling insects. But then again who does everyone always call when $hit hits the fan? I wonder what they do if they have any members with severe or mild bee allergies?

Same problem here, the white plains feed seems to not be working...

I also believe if your Healthcare provider CPR cert is through Red Cross it is still 15:2. Not sure if they changed yet or if theyre going to. AHA is pushing for teh 30:2

If the settings on the cameras arent correct, sometimes you can take a picture of the trucks even though their lights are on and not catch a single one of them blinking. Maybe thats why some look like their lights are on and some arent....

Will be a sad day indeed.

If im not mistaken, last time i was in there they did have one older truck. Maybe that is the one getting replaced.

check and advise?

I think all DMVs should crack down on poor drivers period.... many people not just teens are to blame for serious accidents everyday, who knows maybe with stiffer laws, continuing education and or more thorough driver ed programs the number of accidents will go down.

I know that Drivers in the city are assigned by shift. They are full firefighters however i believe it is up to the officer to determine who is where on the rig for the tour....

Oh no I def have enough sense about that and of couse the port/bow running lights. I was just curious as to what and if there were any designations, thanks for the info. Spend my time on the water out in the sound anyway

A little off topic, but who governs what kind of lights emergency boats use, Ive seen PD with just blue lights here in CT and Even some Fire boats with blue lights as well; and some with red ones too, any input ?

Show sucks in my opinion wont last more than a season if that....

Im not in the ladder company but i have a feeling that the newer tillers seem to be a bit longer then the one currently housed at HQ and we all know having a big enough space to park your new rig is important.

Judging it was mostly towns in the lower region maybe they were testing the transmission system for that area...

One thing that def helps performance is to clear out your internet history, and temporary files (in your internet options). Also doing a routine disk cleanup helps (in your start menu under accesories and system tools) , and of course the occasional defragmenting(also in your system tools).

If its the same as last year start in the area of the highschool parking lot and wind down passing fire hq and parking along main street.

No cars! But alls i have to say is the mothers powerball and flitz rocks

I spent 6 hours buffing diamond plate today that parade better not get cancelled!

Found a link to mike martinelli's site showing Avaitions ALF http://www.fdnytrucks.com/files/html/specialunits/av.htm

Don't a few of the Volunteer companies out in Queens or Staten run some older ALF engines?

Fairfield Vol and Career can wear shorts as long as you cover up with bunkers if you go to a call.
