There are other technical issues from what I understand but a large part of it is apparently the size is simply too big for many of the roads in Mt. Kisco and the surrounding service districts. There was a rumor going around that KBHVAC wanted it as a highway rig. Mt. Kisco has two ambulances. I am not sure what they are getting to replace this rig.

When some of the old timers use ten codes, for the most part 60 Control will just repeat what they say in plain english...

Its a lamp post. Discussed in an earlier thread. Good look with it looks great

I am not sure where you are getting some of your information from but the Westchester Medical Examiners Officer is reporting the victim had a BAC at the time of his death of 0.13.

Not surprised at all. At this point it seems that the "witness" accounts reported are more lies and half truths than actual reality.

This article has more information: http://www.wcax.com/Global/story.asp?S=13356777 Apparently, when they responded M/A to the fire in Williamsville, the rescue truck was on the other side of the station from the one they responded with. Since they had not used the truck in several days, they did not notice that it was gone until they returned to the fire house. From the pictures it seems they have a fire garage. As stated above, this is a pretty rural town in very Southern Vermont, it is about 25-30 miles from Mass. and 50-60 miles from New York as the crow flies. The police have a suspect in mind apparently because they seem to know where it was potentially heading.

Another thing to consider is all 11,000+ members are not going to agree to pay potentially limiting the bandwidth and processing power needed driving down the cost per member potentially.

Didn't even make it to 2200, more like 2048. this is excellent news, I said we would not fail.

While I think $25 a year is a little high, I am willing to pay for access to this site. If we could get people to each pay a monthly fee like $2.50 month for access or a flat rate for each year like $10-20 then I think the site can stay solvent and eliminate those who only come on here to make trouble.

Any update on the amount still needed, the tracker is not updating.

Donation sent, we are all here to fight for this, we will not be stopped....

Kinda like how juries demand forensic or otherwise technical evidence that is not needed on my simple and routine cases, not like they see on CSI, Law and Order etc...

This incident seems to have the same problems and circumstances as the Sean Bell shooting several years ago. While the officers in that case were absolved of criminal wrong doing, they certainly lost in the court of public opinion. We can only hope that this not the same and true for the officers involved in this incident. We can only hope that the DA and the public see this for what it is, a individual using a motor vehicle as deadly weapon against officers of the Westchester County law enforcement community who were forced to respond with deadly force once the perpetrator initiated dangerous and deadly activity and endangered the lives of one of their officers. If this individual had been shot and wounded and arrested and not shot and killed, Pace University would not be holding a vigil. I also found that Pace Universities actions were inappropriate. They essentially said despite this individual attempting murder on law enforcement members, he was a nice guy and deserved to be remembered....well not in my book and not most peoples here, and certainly not the officers who were injured during this incident.

They operate a fire brigade, essentially MTA employees stationed at GCT are trained to NYSFF1/NYSEMT-B and will respond to incidents in the terminal. They have essentially go carts parked and locked away filled with basic first response and basic fire suppression and first aid equipment. Any major emergencies and transports to the hospital are covered by FDNY and FDNY EMS.

If they are also EMTs then the offline protocol for O2 administration should take effect. I am not sure if they are operating under a Medical Direction but since in NYS one can be an EMT without being affiliated with a FD/PD/EMS agency then I am assuming a certified EMT would not need medical direction of the given service area to administer 02. I am assuming this is also why in some states affiliation is required to ensure that medical controls and direction are adhered by, followed and applicable to only one specific area of service.

Directly taken from their site: "The department runs two matching compressed air foam pumper tankers and two pumper tanker aerials, three conventional engines, three 3500 gallon tankers, a dozen tenders, a small tower ladder, a medium duty rescue, Haz Mat trailer, a dive van, and a rescue boat."

They claim their average response time is less than 6 minutes.

Mamaroneck town fire chief defends response time to blaze http://www.lohud.com/article/20101013/NEWS02/10130382/Mamaroneck-town-fire-chief-defends-response-time-to-blaze

Not just CO, what about Haz-Mat incidents? There are a whopping 27 pages of 1246 pages in the 11th Edition of the Brady Emergency Care by Limmer and O'Keefe (I actually went in and counted). While day to day there may not be very many Haz-Mat incidents, in all likelihood EMS is going to be one of the first services called, a pesticide spill could come in as something benign as a man down, in some areas of this country that ambulance might be the only unit on scene at all. My EMT class (not in NY) had a haz-mat awareness portion built onto it, but we are all not so lucky. Haz-Mat preparedness and training should a larger part of EMS training across the board, we are doing ourselves a disservice by not keeping up on our Haz-Mat awareness and operations.

My thoughts are with the officer. It can not be easy to be faced with the position he found himself in but he should remember that he is lucky to be living and breathing and not like the other guy...

I can't help it, living in Vermont with all of these Massholes you pick up a thing or two... Regarding the handline on the members on the ledge, while I have never been in a situation like this, if I was thinking clearly I do not think I would have spent as much time directly blasting the members with the water stream and more time cooling down and wetting all of the areas around the members and the aerial. I would have used the high specific heat of water too absorb the radiant heat from the fire off of the members and on to the water. It looked like the members were taking a real beating from the heat and the handline but it have been just as bad if they lost their balance from the water hitting them then if they got too hot and jumped. It really is a tough call but I think I would have blasted the building and the eves to cool them down then the members themselves, but please someone correct me if I am wrong.

A Jake is a New England, specifically Mass. term for a firefighter. Comes from the tool "J-Key" which was used in the Greater Boston area to communicate with HQ at automatic alarms around the turn of the century to WWII.

Good job gentlemen

North America: First settlers came over the Ice bridge that formed between Alaska and Russia during the end of the last ice age some 12,000 years ago. These settlers then formed many of the Native peoples found on North America. After that, the next recorded "discovery" of the new world was by the Vikings 1,000 yeas ago in New Foundland. To answer your question, no Columbus did not discover America, he just took all of the credit, as an America would do, he also didn't even find what he was looking for in the first place.

So you mean they finally cleaned out the drawers and the closet in the radio room as well as the closet on the truck floor behind the rig next to the cabinet before the locker on the other side of the racks adjacent to the soda machine, got it...
