  1. Looking good. When is expected delivery?
  2. I used it back in 2000 while working in Colorado. The S.O. even took it to the local mall for a recruiting event to show it off right after they got it. Back then it was too video game feeling. It was great in concept but graphix and lag made it a joke. Hopefully they have work these issues out since it could make a great training tool.
  3. both are still sitting behind Station 3 as of last Friday. I saw that one of the engines was for sale for $25,000. As far as I know the rescue and 1 engine were sold to a vendor that was going to ship them to central america?

  5. A friend of mine has a pic on facebook from the start I will ask his permision to post it here. He is a Fed Ex driver and was on 9 when it was called in.
  6. True but all of the welfare money could be used to offset the costs of other programs such as fire, police and education. What about all the lotto cash that goes to the Schools??????? Maybe if they spent less on stupid ads then the schools would get more money from them.
  7. Actuly the main problem in NYS is the largest employer in the state WELFARE!
  8. Colorado passed a Tax amendment in 94 or 95 that mandates any tax increase over a certain percent had to on the ballot for the general election for the state. This includes all taxes Are they like NY HELL NOthey have a much better economy, lower cost of living and and are increasing services to the communities and new Counties and towns have formed in the last few years that are thriving
  9. Wow so all the other states in the country with a 2% tax cap must be really screwed up by now. Oh wait nope they are doing 10 times better then NY because it made the Politicians be FINANCIALY RESPONSABLE
  10. I do not know if Sing Sing has an engine but I will ask when I return from Vacation. Every NYS prison has a fire brigade with turnout gear, SCBA (scott 2.2) , hoses and nosles on carts or vans depending on facility and several have engines, with some brand new engines delivered in the past year. All SCBA certified members of the Fire Responce Team are required to have FF1 and have 8 - 16 hours of fire team training per year. I wonder what the damage total will be since the state is looking to close up to 4 prisons and the local politions are asking for Sing Sing to close since therr is little ecanomic impact on the area from Sing Sing and there has been several inquires to purces the property over the years.
  11. Why not there are some Dept.s that have the commercial EMS contracted to their areas respond on AFA's. What use in a Ambulance at a fire if the Engine is 15 minutes behind them consoling the home owner as they watch their house burn down?
  12. Remember the owner may also have a good reason to tell you not to fight the fire so before chaging in find out why. One of my friends reloads Ammo and probably has close to 10,000 rounds of ammo plus powder, lead and other related materials and I would not want to try to fight a fire at his house.
  13. I don't know about the actual certification however I was referring to the fines that are imposed in the ever increasing surprise inspections at local ER's when a bus drops off or picks up. I do know that if you want to take a unit out of service and not replace it there is a small fee involved since that seems to be the trend locally with a lot of FD's that have manpower issues. and I have seen some real crap on the road lately that are being called an Ambulance since as long as there are no exhaust leaks into the patient compartment and the ambulance has a valid NYS vehicle inspection sticker they consider it mechanically sufficient.
  14. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ the same reason NYS does anything $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
  15. Also something to think about is State Housing in NYS for CO's assigned in the Hudson Valley and waiting the 5 - 10 years it will take to transfer home to Northern and Western NY. Some share apartments with 15 - 20 people sharing a 2 or 3 bedroom appt. and there are state owned "dorm" settings in some areas. Imagine going into a 2 bedroom appt and finding 2 bunkbeds in the living room and 2 or 3 bunkbeds in each bedroom.
