  1. I was thinking of applying for the PLEMS Lt. position this year! I always wanted that grey shirt!
  2. I think the Police officers who read this site should read what was posted on ABCnew.go.com about a threat to the members. The person who wrote should be locked up just for saying it! http://abcnews.go.com/US/comments?type=story&id=4725206 Just so you can see before it is erased
  3. Alright this is really good! Please watch this and maybe help me figure out WHY this guy not only goes in ALONE but with no mask on. The smoke is black what was he thinking?
  4. The county now uses the test just to get hired and then again at the end of school. As for tips? Get a weight vest today and get your *** to a gym with a stair master or find a parking garage at least 4 stories and start walking up the stairs!
  5. How many men does Pelham have on staff during a tour? Just wondering what the Career vs. Vol. ratio was at this last fire? By the amount of mutual aid that was sent and the number of men those departments send on each rig it almost seems like maybe the vol. manpower was not there?
  6. My original post did ask the Career staffing of Pelham and was clearly answered. As for the why i asked the Career to Vol ratio was to get an idea of why there were SO many mutual aid rigs at the scene from Career departments. Was there and issue with the Vol response? is this a ongoing issue like most Vol departments are having with response during the day? Are they short on members? If it is why are there only 3 men working? I dont think that was in any way bashing the Vols just more about a concern for the Career staff in that area. Does my PRO CAREER views offend anyone? If so to bad get over it! As for the "Everyone receives the same training in firefighter 1 the only difference is one guy gets paid" this is far from true! We as professionals to receive FF1 but also way more then that 1 class to be Career ff's and we also do a good amount of in house training during our tour. Actually the probie class right now i think is at 17 weeks of class. Domenick

  18. Efd Local 916 Fundraiser for Joe and Joann Grogan (Retired member of local 916) Saturday, February 2, 2008 7:00pm The Beechmont Tavern 750 North Ave. New Rochelle, NY 914-636-9533 For more info contact Shawn Stewart @ 914-319-6799 $10.00 Cover Bar and food specials 50/50 raffle and other raffles 5 tickets for $10.00 Live music by I-40 (Capt. Tim Harte) & The Westchester Firefighters Pipes and Drums On December 26, 2007 at approximately 4:30 am a report of a structure fire coming from 151 Old Wilmont Rd. was received. As first due companies were arriving a report of heavy smoke coming from the structure was reported. We then learned it was the home of a retired firefighter Joe Grogan and his family. This was a very difficult situation due to the fact that Joe has been sick for the past several months. Joe has three boys who are firefighters on the job in Eastchester, Chief Mike Grogan, Lt. Danny Grogan and Lt. Kevin Grogan. Everything was lost in this fire. We are now asking for your support during their time of need. All proceeds that night will go directly to Joe and Joann Grogan. Thank you, EFD 184 Local 916
  19. Do you have more pics of the anchoring system(Bolts) into the concrete? It may be from first glance Steel I-Beams every 20' or so laminated with some sort of exterior sheathing. The trusses are possibly being used between them.
  20. If anyone is interested it will be a good time and it is for a good cause!
  21. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Zl9U2VtSck...fighterspot.com This is a bit old but great! The 2 brothers in this video did one hell of a job and have great respect from me. V.E.S. is seriously dangerous s**t and these guys did the job and from the outcome did it great! I hope you enjoy it.
  22. The guys on st patty day arent driving around in rigs! Messing with gear that someones life is counting on! Unless you know and have seen?
  23. Listen that **** doesnt happen were i work! John Q public doesnt see it because it doesnt happen. A couple guys in the FDNY(out of 11,000) have issues but dont go and tell me to get my head out of the sand. By the way the members from the FDNY lost their jobs because of things.More and more you hear of some dumbass volly setting a fire, crashing his car drunk responding and scamming the funds i can go on and on. Drinking DID happen and it was a problem but it doesnt now. We can lose our jobs,pensions and possible our lives. The vols get to go to the next parade and the next big fire with no actions against them. Great to be the taxpayer in that area huh. But your probably one of the guys who thinks that when the volly dept cant get out a rig its no big deal just keep recruiting guys who dont show up!
  24. I know this may get erased and some of you are going to pull the volly vs. career crap but honestly this kind of stuff does not happen in a career departments. We would most likely be fired. There are no real repercussions for this stupidity in volly departments and there should be. Could these morons be kicked out? Would the tax payer like to see this? These are just my feelings if you dont like it oh well!
