Tommy I agree 100%!!! If I am not mistaken we have had this conversation on here before.

Mark did you guys do any ice fishing back there. If I remember correctly there were some rather large fish in there.

This was the original Medic 3. Before there was a medic 4. This unit use to cover the entire east side of Putnam County. BUSY TRUCK!!

Those were the days Goose

Why yes I believe it is Johns big head head in that photo.

WOW you really are a buff!! You bring your scanner with you to get a hair cut.

Wow. I was in Shock last night when I got the phone call. But like 32 said I start to smile when I think of Rich with the cell phone, cigar and always a smile. I'm glad I ran into Rich a couple of weeks ago and caught up. And Buff is not the word. Class A guy. Rich you will truly be missed by all who knew you. Til we ride again...............

Well when the journal says that there was a price difference of Almost $850,000.00 it is about the money. How is one company able to do it for $48,000.00 and the other company is coming in @ $900,000.00. When the price difference is that much the town board isnt looking @ peoples best interest the are looking at saving $850,000.00. ( No matter what they tell you ). Were the 2 companies biddding on the same thing? Its no secret that there is no love lose between Town of Fishkill ( Rombout ) and Alamo, but come on $850,000.00. And yes we in the field should be worried about the money, after all isnt that what pays our saleries? Judging by your age you dont own a home or have a family so you dont understand about taxes but yes $5.00 adds up. Between school, property, county, and town taxes they all add up.

Since when does the Poughkeepsie Journal print incorrect numbers??? . You spying on me??? How did you know I had my feet up in Putnam Valley today??

That is a HUGE price difference! Are those figures correct. If so How is MLSS able to do it so cheap?

Now why do you have to be a smart a$$ and put " growing areas in Dutchess"?? Why cant you just say Orange, Ulster and Dutchess . You dont have to rub stuff in peoples face.

Tony, Same here you or Kate need anything give me a shout

Happy New to ALL!!

When did you become the Alamo recruitment poster boy????

Well NWFD Medic said best. Things are going to get interesting in Dutchess County. I just feel bad for all the EMTs and Medics involved in this giant CLUSTER " $#@!". Good luck to all parties invovled.

Ba Humbug!!! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!! "You'll shoot your eye out"

Very nice. I like the red over black. I believe Brewster has the same truck as their 11-1-1.

Turbo, Very Nice. Sure is the Boonies up there eh. Have a Merry Christmas, and say hi to the family.

Tommy, I'll second that!

Philipstown VAC covers the north west part of Putnam County. Their district encompasses the Village of Cold Spring and North Highlands Fire Dist. Their VAC is located on Cedar St. in Cold Spring. They have at Least one paid EMT on duty in quarters 24/7. Putnam County Medic 1 also operates out of Philipstown VAC, and covers the Philipstown and Garrison Areas. They operate twin Wheeled Coaches I believe they are both 2006. I will see if I can dig up some photos. Otherwise I will snap some this week.

I would say Copperfields. For those that are worried about drinking and driving, I'm sure there will be members from all over the county. Someone will drive your drunk a$$ home.

Looking forward to working Putnam Valley tomorrow. I think I will stage @ TSP and Bryant Pond arouund 1600 hrs.

Technically there are 5. 3 Flycars, a BLS truck, and an ALS truck. Dont forget Transcare has a lot of ALS transport trucks around that can also do emergencies if needed.

366 to Eagle 1, come in Eagle 1. Those were the days!!!

Lunchbox, That is harsh!!
