What was the outcome of this did nypd aviation have to preform a hoist operation or were they able to be escorted out by rescuers on the ground?

Way to go Billy and chief Lena. On a side note besides this award at the hvvfa convention they also got recognition from fasny and the putnam county fireman's association.

I got this in a e-mail recently Fdny Ems lieutenant Farooq Muhammad made a rap video titled "Blue Star". The article says this is the third one he's made.

Saw one of these on the hutch the other day. I think the all white looks better.

On Saturday, May 28 · 5:00pm - 8:00pm there will be a spaghetti dinner held at Carmel Fire Department 94 Gleneida Ave Carmel, New York. The dinner will be held for the Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley located at the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital in Valhalla, New York. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for children (12 & Under) and can be purchased in advance or at the door that night and all proceeds will go to the Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley.

Just a reminder for everyone this event is tomorrow night.

How is this going to be staffed ?

Here are a couple photos that I got with my phone from the truck extrication class.

Just back from getting decals on them the other day are 4 bikes various sizes outfitted with ems jump bags to be used at large scale ems stand-bys and for patrol on the stretch of bike path that we cover. They are numbered 31-9-6 31-9-7 31-9-8 and 31-9-9.

There was talk at the meeting about possibly seeing if the other departments that host parades in the county wanted to get together and hold like a county wide parade in Carmel next year. We only started having a parade again last year due to our approaching 100th anniversary.

The final list should probably have the county cars as well and the areas they cover.

You also have the numbers for the members of the county teams 40 = fire investigation team 50 = hazmat team 45 = fire police team

I would gladly make a list of the puntam agencies

Mp134 why did your group choose to support the tractor cab like that with 2 sets of lift struts as opposed to the way my group did it with just one set of lift struts in the front ? Also did you guys chain the front wheels it doesn't appear that you did.

There was talk about putting some lighting on them. I believe we might have paid for them.

Yeah the ert truck is lake carmels old rescue.

They did this last year too all the county teams show off their toys last year there was a vehicle extrication demo and a couple of the fd's brought their safety houses it's like a really big open house.

Someone correct me if I'm not right but doesn't empress already provide daytime coverage for mohegan

They were numbered that why because we only use 31-11 31-12 and 31-13 as our officer and 9 is just considered a portable radio each bike will have a portable radio assigned to it . I also don't agree with putting 100% volunteer on the bikes my comment was what if somewhere down the line we decide to have a paid crew for daytime coverage ? And the answer I got was we'll just take it off the bikes than. I'm not in charge I don't make the decisions.
