Rest in Peace, Mike, you will be missed. We know you are in a better place, now.

Thoughts and Prayers to Firefighter Beddia's family, friends, as well as his brothers and sisters in FDNY, on this terrible tragedy. May he Rest in Peace.

Thoughts and prayers to Firefighter Graffagnino's family, friends and to FDNY on their tragic loss. May he rest in Peace.

I have the IC502 with the high capacity battery and the larger battery door. Battery life is fine with that, but the phone coverage doesn't seem to be quite as good as the Nextel phones. The Direct Connect seems to be a bit better. One thing that is annoying as hell, though, when you roam, and it seems that the entire East side of North Salem is a damn roam zone, the damn thing makes this annoying noise when you are in automatin roam. I finally figured how to shut that up so it's better. Overall, on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best, I give it about 7 or 8 at best.

Congrats and good luck!!!!

I read something about this several days ago, I believe on lohud,com, and there was no mention of this mope being a firefighter, anywhere.

Yup, just another example of the P*** poor type of journalism, but it sells their papers.

I never said it would not come from the taxpayers, I do have some common sense. BUT it has already been stated that the County is NOT putting any additional funds out, period. AND if you read my previous post in its entirety, the comment about the football was aimed at the inabikity of these clowns to see beyond the ends of their noses. HOWEVER, we do not have much time. Would you rather lose ALS, or get the towns to help with the cost. I do believe that the provision of Emergency Services is the responsibility of each local Municipality, not that of the County.

Well, I guess you'll have to open a franchise in East Fishkill! Then you could call it Nathan's Nathan's?????????

How does this sound? Putnam puts in the same amount they have, give or take a little either way. Then each Town kicks in an amount based on their call volume, to make up the difference. Let PCBES be the Administrator of the system. This way, the Towns aren't stuck with the whole cost, but just their share. The only other thing they need to do is take the damn football out of the politics and put it back on the playing field.

Sounds like a great idea! I just added 2 ICE #s

Floor? Like hell, you mean outside in the doghouse, don't ya? LOL

My sincere wishes for a quick and safe return to your member and your brother, chief17. Chris

I just went to the County weg site and clicked on the Legislature button and immediately got that error message that the site is disabled or removed, or some such momsense. I geuss they must have been inundated, huh???

Great Post, Duane!!!! I agree 100%!!!

Theme song for those guys (sung to the tune of the Bandaid commercial) I am stuck on Stupid, cause Stupid's stuck on me.

Having read a post on a local website, it's pretty bovious that at least some members of the Board of Leslislators in this County do need to be educated, not only of the benefits of ALS but the difference between an EMT and a Paramedic.

:angry: :angry: :angry: DUH!!!!!! STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In my Department our guys are trained in engine work, search, rescue vent, salvage, etc. Since we do not have a "truck" we just do about all of it, unless the scenario really warrents the use of a truck, then we call for one through the M/A system.

Amen to that one, Goose!!! That guy shouldn't just be fired without a FULL police investigation. He should be held civilly AND criminally liable

What a Revoltin' Developement this is!!!!!!!!! As a current Putnam resident and member of a FD that covers a small part of the county, I find this absolutely REDICLULOUS!!!!!!!!! Somebody has a severe case of cranial analitis! and they better get over it and quick!!!!! As MPACE2-299 said they can't afford ALS , but they can afford a golf course that keeps losing money? Assinine!!! It's high time to put the football back on the field and get it out of politics!!! JMHO!!!

Whatever you and Jim decide to do is fine. I couldn't think of a better recipient for the first Bravo points Donation.

No, I guess not, seems there's quite a crowd every launch. Despite the noise, that must be an impressive thing to be there to see up close and personal!
