Congrats Hap!!!! All the best..

Why would they need to stage anyone at 60?

As far as "60 control to xxx" can that be eliminated? Sure why not if it is a structured dept. Only those tones are being activated and who else would be dispatching them if not 60? Now for non structured depts since no specific apparatus is being dispatched then 60-control to xxx dept sounds a little better. Some of the extra you hear is because that is requested by the individual depts. some depts cover more then 1 community so they request that town or village be added to the dispatch.

Ok

The Squad was in service when I was at 60 and I do not recall any "bet".

So what you are saying is nothing different then any other year.

Check out Big Joe's and Sons in Mohegan. I had mine done there by Cuda Vendetta. Awesome guy great work. He did my drawing three different times until it was exactly what I wanted. Some artist charge by the piece some by the hour. http://www.tattoojohnny.com this site as some cool designs that might help you.

What ever happened to Firebike?

It is such BS stop with the threats of lay offs or cutting posistions. Try starting at the top and working down. Example: Why does every department head need a take home car? Especially the ones who do not even live within the county. But they continue to threaten the people who have to work 24/7 no matter the weather use their own vehicles pay for their own gas to get back and forth to work but we will give someone who works 9-5 Monday - Friday a new car all the has they need and yeah will even pay for the repairs.

While driving along I-95 in Georgia I seen this along side the highway.

I am sure someone takes care of the land since the grass was cut and nothing was really over grown. All the rigs look like they were placed in certain areas as well. Just seemed like a odd location in the middle of no where along I-95.

I always thought if you brought a melt-a-way over to fire HQ during the week you were entiled to a NRFD history lesson. lol But have to hurry up before his last day.....

I wish I did get a picture of it. But it is not the first time I have seen the truck in the driveway there.

Maybe someone on here can explain how a Westchester County Pickup truck with a plow on it is plowing out private driveways in Dutchess County. I seen it today on Kinry Rd in Poughkeepsie. Must be nice to be a county employee and be able to take a work truck home with you to plow your driveway.

Good thing you remember. I am going to need a refresher course I think.

I would just like to wish everyone a Happy, Healthy, and Safe New Year

Thanks "Uncle" Merry Christmas to and Joyce Thanks brother. Yes it can get frustrating but you learn to deal with it.. It is hard to wake someone up at 5am when they are always on vacation. Merry Christmas Thanks Brother.

I see I have been spotted. Thanks Buddy.

Just curious was Santa and his Reindeer dispatched on the initial assingment or were they part of 10-75 mutual aid?

I am waiting for the Blackberry App.

Has anyone seen this new TV show "The Academy"? It take place at the Orange County Fire Authority Training Center. What do you think about it? I am not a Reality TV show guy but this one is pretty good. http://www.hulu.com/search?query=The+Academy&st=1
