  1. There is a good chance this story has hit Albany and by now the trooper is being reminded of the roles & responsibility's of the emergency services on the scene of a highway incident and the need to protect one another. This should be resolved easily but one never knows. If you are the unfortunate one to be involved in a situation like this in the future don't argue with the officer do your job take the ticket have one of your crew (if possible) take a couple photos of how the vehicles were setup so that later on when you sit down to discuss it with others they see why you did what you did. We are there to help each other not argue how it should be done (especially on the scene).
  2. Nice artistic shots Bill
  3. I'm glad there is at least one kid in this country that will stand up for his rights!
  4. When its cold out as others said if you have a small camera you can put it in your pants pocket but the best way is in your coat near your chest. This is the warmest area so slide it in when your not snapping. it helps. And yes always have multiple battery's, even in the summer when I roll up on something I make sure I grab a 2nd battery from my bag just in case so I don't have to walk who knows how long back to the car for a replacement and possibly miss "the shot" Stay warm I think it's warmer in Alaska right now.
  5. Another question how many keep the AED in a warm area such as the cab or do you keep it in the body of the apperatus so when your truck is outside for calls in the winter it's just as cold as everything else?
  6. So Seth, everything bIg & red is for firefighting? You should have asked the driver.
  7. Ok, load up some dump trucks and send it to Florida just so we can say EVERY state has snow....LoL
  8. Here is a link to the video that Microchip made, they helped create the new Federal Signal lightbar Here is a video I shot at the Harrisburg fire show last year
  9. A serious mistake has been made by city management. From what I understand they will now run with 1 & 1 with only a couple guys. This will force them to seriously rely on mutual aid as a back up attack team. The city has no volunteers City to lay off 12 firefighters
  10. According to Mayor Bloomy "You can not put chains on ambulances because it will destroy the chassis" during his press conference last week
  11. Here we go again! Now the Mayor doesn't want to accept the offering and lay off firefighters after all! Does it take people to die due to a massive shortage of firefighters for them to realize what they are doing????? Newburgh may face firefighter cuts after all
  12. Chelsea - Dutchess County 469 In 2009 we had 393
  13. Union takes pay cut to save 12 firefighters I'm glad they came to an agreement, it's sad it had to come down to that.
  14. Listen to the Ulster 911 PD channel for the most info on fires & accidents as well as other stuff of course. Listening to the online scanner on R.R. you hear a load static noise every so often that makes you want to turn it off
  15. What an idiot! Watch, the bus driver will get a way with it while the FF that ran up to the bus will probably get in trouble for calling the driver an A$$...
  16. Just ask the guy who was fighting the dumpster fire when that blew up on him, oh that's right he can't talk right now he died fighting the regular old dumpster fire Use your gear especially when it's already on your back. save the tough image for the gym.
  17. Newburgh firefighters get extension on job cuts
  18. Good job by all! Never give up hope
  19. "Why are they using water on fire?" um let me think for a moment.
  20. Not knowing much about flying I would think going all the way to Westcheter burned the fuel off instead of having to dump execss fuel (if they had to do something like that)
  21. It's when you Floridians send a storm up the coast from Florida to New England Some act of revenge for us sending you cold weather
  22. Merry Christmas to all that celebrate it. Happy Holidays to everyone else Stay safe
  23. Wheres the dislike button?
  24. Thanks for taking us on vacation with you
