I got the iPhone too and it is great but the internet is what really kills the battery and the ipod doesnt drain mine too much if you put on a playlist and leave it.

I'm not into the rotators at differnet hieghts in the rear. It might be just me but i like symetry.

Recently made a trip up there and thought i would share. Heres the album. Enjoy. Sorry for the quality. Golden Age Trucking Museum

Where are you thinking towards in cape cod because i actually came back from there yesterday.

That's a hike for harrison isn't it? I mean how fast can a truck go and to go all that way.

From what I heard it was a possible freon leak inside the building and there was a strong odor. They toned out around 12:15 and they were still there around 3.

Ladder 25 wasn't going initially but that will sure prevent ldder 26 from going.

by junior corps do you mean explorers and if thats what you mean port chester/ Rye is going.

Yes. Its the turnout. If NYS said here you go that wouldnt change anything. Its like a rotation of who respondes. Some members cn only respond on weekends because they work during the week. Some people can respond after certain hours. The lights have nothing to do with it. In the meantime we still have to give credit to all who can respond cause they are appreciated when they show up.

I believe the engine that gets relocated to Rye Brook is staffed with one paid man and the Port Chester rig is staffed with two. I think someone can help clarify that if im wrong. Volunteers are doing the job at fires except a call comes in sometimes and feel wait for it to be comfirmed and then go. At that point there arent enough firefighters on scene and mutual aid is called. Rye is also split up in two sections you could say. The north and south half of playland parkway. 191 gets one side of the parkway as first due and 192 gets the other half as first due. Rye wants a paid firefighter as first due as long as a lot of other departments like port chester where the paid engine is first due no matter where the location is. And the ladder is manned by a paid firefighter as it was. It is just the way Rye is set up that the need for three rigs is neccesary. At the same time volunteers re increasing. Driver training is going on and memebers are getting qualified on the apparatus but like said before they have to have taken the EVOC class and pump operator. Slowly but surely more volunteers are getting involved.

I have always wondered what the point system was. How do you get points and do you get some more than others for doing topics? What are they used for? Thanks.

On a general alarm if there are 4 firefighters working two hop on 191 due to that as the highway truck. One hops on Ladder 25 at headquarters. Then there is the one guy at milton who takes 192 out. That is the response for a general alarm. As for Port Chester it is easier for them two have two paid rige becomes it cuts down on response time dramatically. Engine 59 gets stationed in Rye Brook after 7. If Port Chester were too run with only one paid engine, if there were a call in deep Rye Brook towards the top of king street it could take a good 7-8 minutes to respond. And with 59 in Rye Brook at least there is a unit on locatoin quick while waiting for more manpower to come. Hope it helps clarrify.

Yes last year they sent 192 ladder 26 and utility 49. And Port Chester is also going this year.

Your right. From what I know you can not fill up a scuba tank with an scba filler.

Rye has a fireboat that stays in the water during the season. There is also a aluminum 13ft. on its own triler that can be launched wherever. The paid firefighters recently got trained for swift water rescue.

Comppletely agree. Took mine on the beach and everything started to go.

Why did they go with a strobe lightbar? Nowadays it seems like everything is going to LED
