Ouch...Sorry to hear the Dan. Fortunately, I never have to ask where my camera is or where my memory card is (I have a dozen...different types of course)...just I don't really listen to a scanner when I am not already manning a radio in Yonkers, and don't seem to have any luck but once and a while!

Really cool that they have a Tenessee license plate on the Truck donated by the people of East Tenessee! Photo courtesy of some dude: Ladder 14 sporting out of state plates!

Check out the SPECS...what is a Super Hydraulic Afterburner and why do the seats have 10 point harnesses for seat belts????? j/k

AND: WTF is this? Also: Nice Bus! FBI: FBI something under construction in 2005 Secret Service: $1 Million Secret Service Rigs Love the all black with the clear LED's...lets you know who is the BOSS!!!!!

Did Chicago lose the Green Lights on the New Apparatus? (port/starboard thing)

I read the story about the State Trooper from CT that responded to the Myannis Bridge Collapse. Must have been nuts when he realized he just crossed it to get where he was going!

Impact simulator to convince you to wear your SEATBELT!!!!!! They also have a roll-over simulator...that you cannot ride in...they use an un-seatbelted dummy!

In regards to the Turnpike, I believe it is owned by the public and the videos are available on some travel site normally! It is unfortunate that the operator died, but as long as someone is not hindering the investigation of a crime than they have no cause. Do you actually see the death?

HMMMMMMM!

Wish they could film in Yonkers...but

This link is to a fatal drowning in Pittsburgh (photos): Pittsburgh EMS photos! Link to the 911photos homepage: 911photos.smugmug.com PA Area Photos Unclear why, but this site has a lot of "chicks" pics on it...is the photographer female or into working women?

However, an OT gig on a Sunday morning to watch a football game ain't that bad...wonder if Pittsburgh EMS is the provider or if it is like Yankee Stadium where Transcare covers the interior???? They must have cheerleaders, so you know where I will be posted with my radio off!!!!!!!

Hey if it wasn't for your rail rescue link...we would have never known.

And check out this one: Special Resource-Pierce Manufacturing-Homeland Security Can we get one please....... TFFT (Tactical Fire Fighting Truck) and way to get through traffic!

Careful posting stuff like that...I could see some Yonkers peeps trying to get one! LOL

Sounds like a great get-away vehicle...lol I know that the MTA has vehicles that cross between road/rail for maintenance purposes. This could be the answer to the Tappan Zee railway connection! Get off in T-town, cross the bridge, and then hop on the Rockland tracks...just an idea of course.

It will definitely be a WET down if this weather holds up. Good luck to SHFD tomorrow, was planning to go but some OT found its way to me!!!

Pretty sweet...now all you need is some clips of me flexing my voice on 484.7125...lol

Almost makes you want to pack up and move to Pittsburgh and take an EMS job! Other than it looks like a cool place to work, I am not a Steeler, nor Pirate fan, and I don't hear too much about Pittsburgh being a tourist attraction! I love NY!

Don't forget to get your fishing PERMIT! Don't want to see anyone from here get a summons. Hopefully I can find a nice afternoon and get out there, miss the quiet of fishing...especially with a 2 year old around...Daddy, daddy, daddy....ahhhhh!

Sounds like an awfully bad apple. Also charged with rape! They will get him in jail! Even criminals don't like sex offenders!!!!!

Yeah, use a tripod and a slower exposure speed setting...the pics I took of the Mohegan Fire at the little bar about a month ago...I used almost a 1 second exposure for the pics using the star-type filter...if I use the flash I keep it at 1/200th exposure. Also available is the bean bag type tripod with is a lot easier to manage and set up...just secure it to the screw hole like you do the tripod and set it pretty much anywhere! Have not bought one yet, but it is on my short list! Link to said photos: Oswegowind's Photos of Mohegan Fire as posted on EMTBravo!
