  1. Woodbury outlets are right off the thruway, it's not like he/she drove 25, 50, 100 miles out of the way. I'm not bitching about 5 extra miles I've seen it wasted on worse. THAT'S IF it was along the way to the Commissioners conference.
  2. Unless it was a stop on the way to the NY Association of Fire Districts meeting up in Ellenville @ the Haven Resort Thurs. - Sat.I don't see a big issue if that was the case but now sell that to the public. (May have wanted to get up there early so he/she could do what ever class this morning) Just my guess
  3. http://www.lohud.com/article/20131021/NEWS02/310210039/Greenville-fire-capt-says-son-sexually-harassed-fired-from-dept- something very ODD going on here
  4. It was at Rt 6 & Mountain Rd in Greenville just after midnight Tuesday. 1 person was extricated and flown by Hackensack Air 1 to WCMC
  5. It's missing the 4 point portable winch brackets
  6. Dutchess County: Mobile Life Sole Response: Fishkill Village, Rombout Fire District, Wappinger's Falls Village, New Hamburg Fire District, City of Poughkeepsie Primary ALS Intercepts: East Fishkill, Fairview, Pleasant Valley. Other parts of the county as needed Not exactly sure on ND Medics other than they are primary ALS for most northern towns
  7. It replaces the old list and as departments need to hire they can canvas off the top of the list
  8. From what I have heard about this electrical fire, unless someone called it in when the problem first started happening it would not made much of a difference. People forget you had 30 MPH winds driving that fire so once flame broke out the theory of fire doubling every minute went out the window. I have heard of plenty of large fires were paid departments were completely in charge and they still lost a lot. I have heard paid departments cancel mutual aid just to end up calling them back 10 minutes later as they are loosing the building. No volunteers are not perfect but no one is. In this current world especially in our situation where we have a large mix of paid and volunteer departments we need to stop fighting one another and work with each other to get the job done. Believe it or not volunteers will support paid firefighters MORE when they are not A**holes back at them.
  9. Sad part is zillions of gallons of water right there in the ocean
  10. Staff Sgt. Todd J. "T.J." Lobraico Jr. 105th Airlift Wing of the New York ANG Killed last week while fighting the war on terror was brought home today. He arrived at Stewart Air Base where a ceremony was held and then he was escorted to New Fairfield Ct where he will be laid to rest. Along his trip from the airport down Rt 17K to Route 300 to I-84 he was proudly honored by many Fire, Police, & EMS agencies along the way. I stood with my department and with the following fire departments that were at the Toll Plaza, Beacon, Beekman, Castle Point, Chelsea, Dover, Dutchess Junction, Fishkill, Glenham, Hughsonville, New Hamburg, Roosevelt, Beacon Vol. Amb. town of Fishkill police, village of Wappinger Falls PD, NYSP. It was an honor to do so and it was nice to hear of the other departments that did the same.
  11. Photo of Firefighter at the Newburgh-Beacon Toll Plaza. The police & ambulance crews did not make this photo.. Photo from http://www.dawnsela.com/
  12. I did hear someone say national park service has buckets available. Even if it took 45 min - an hour it would still be useful
  13. 12 years later gone but will never be forgotten. We still got your back We remember the 343 Firefighters in NYC that died that day but we should not forget all the Police officers, EMT's and victims on the planes, in the Towers or the Pentagon and especially those who are suffering from or passed away from cancer because they dug the rubble at the site. Or the K-9's that helped that got sick
  14. When is it going in service?
  15. Covering up a department name is done a lot on new undelivered units because technically the manufacturer still owns it. If it is being driven from the plant to the city it also stops someone from saying "xyz" ambulance passed by the accident and didn't stop, I'm surprised the word "Ambulance" wasn't covered up.
  16. $40k lol very funny
  17. Looking at the roof, they had just a few solar panels
  18. What's sad is searching the internet provides no definitive description of a "working fire" just a ton of opinions. So I guess it's whatever you want to define it as.
  19. I prefer to classify car fires & dumpster fires as "Active fires" as they are not "working" to destroy lives or property (yes I know some people's including my own vehicle would be substantial property). Add other cars or buildings next to such and you have "exposures" now have the building going you have a "Working Fire". Have a Chicken coop on fire and you have a "Working Chicken (lol ha ha chuckle chuckle) Coop fire" JMO
