It's been a year....any updates?

It's a two way street (not the one in the video), fire trucks don't park in front of a house being burlarized, and police shouldn't be parked in front of a fire. Sometimes you have to do a little damage to get the job done. I recall a fire upstate where a fire broke out in a house literally 3 doors down from the firedepartment/police department building. A rookie police officer left his cruiser in front of one of the fire bays (and ran towards the fire!), and the driver of that first due engine just pushed the cruiser SIDEWAYS across the street. Was it the right thing to do? It probably wasn't the best judgement call, but given the situation I would do the same thing. After all, there's a reason the insurance companies exist.
However, since the officer in the video happened to be right there he could have just moved the car.

Sounds like a hurt feelings report !

Well...THAT looked like a stubborn job.

Here we go. Phase 2 the threat of closures and cuts. Next up comes the sudden surplus that saves the libraries and child care programs.

Brooklyn Councilman Charles Barron saw the coming negotiations as a repeat of past showdowns. “It’s still the same nonsense every year,” he said. ”It’s on the City Council to say no to this budget and make him do what he should be doing with the money.”



While the mayor has proposed a balanced budget for the upcoming fiscal year, the administration is projecting a $3 billion deficit in the following fiscal year beginning July 1, 2013. After that, the forecast projects a $3.7 billion gap followed by a $3.2 billion hole

Officer side is the intake just like the 1994 series.
ECC side has the normal discharge and the new larger discharge

Stamford Professional Fire Fighters Association (IAFF Local 786)
To Hold Meeting For Firefighter Candidates
Almost two years ago more than 670 aspiring firefighters took a civil service exam in hopes of joining the Stamford Fire & Rescue Department. After spending countless weeks and months studying for the written exam, and taking a demanding physical ability test, and a nearly two-year wait to be certified as firefighter candidates, they may all be left out in the cold. The city administration may throw out the test because of Mayor Pavia’s proposed taxpayer funded privately owned and operated fire department to serve North Stamford, rewarding his friends and political allies with a job.
On Saturday, April 14 the Stamford Professional Fire Fighters Association (IAFF Local 786), which represents the firefighters of the Stamford Fire & Rescue Department, will hold an informational meeting for candidates who took the test and may likely see their hard work go for naught. The meeting will be held at the Piedmont Club at 152 Hecker Avenue in Darien beginning at 2 pm. All candidates are encouraged to attend.
There will be an information session to explain to the firefighter candidates what their options are if the civil service list is not certified by the city.
