  1. A few yrs ago we responded to a report of structure fire on the boarder of our district we arrived on scene heavy smoke coming from a 1 story commercial building. The paid dept. which we boarder was on scene also and was stretching lines the building was the first building over our boarder. The IC said its ours our chief said ok do you need any assistance they said no we got it. we stayed a few min the fire started to go through the roof the IC called a 2nd alarm then a 3rd alarm. My point is the IC had 25 guys ready to go to work and assist why turn down help that is already there? If I was the store owner I would be really mad that help was turned away because we are not paid and I lost my whole building.

  6. Guys take it from someone who has been cleaning diamond plate for 23 years we have tried every home remedy & nothing works but good old elbow greese
  7. From my expierence (24yrs) the county parade was always judged by Westchester county judges. I have seen the parade judged before (which is you bring your rig up to a site to be judged prior to the parade) or it is judged during the parade so what I'm saying is that the guys that know how the rigs & marching are judged spent a lot of time & energy on cleaning these rigs & all you had to do is clean the driver side of the rig the time that was put into cleaning the rigs was a waste.
  8. I think it was a disgrace that the apparatus & marching was judged by sitting on the curb
  9. Living on the Hudson Line we asked our chief to get a list of chemicals that traval through town at 3am from Metro North. They told him they do not know what is on that frieght train & if you have a problem you would have to get the manafest from the enginer.
