This isn't the first time nor will it be the last time. Last month another dept couldnt get a engine out for a CO call, after 4 tones out( IThink) 60 had to go MA. and for the house being on fire people come out of the wood work for them..

wounder if it was the same guy I seen down the jersey shore some 222 miles(one way) and four hours away, driving around in his chief truck.

ladder would have been no good. power lines.(look at Picture # 1 #2 and # 4) like tglass said fire went out nobody got hurt and the house is still standing. WPFD did a great job making a great stop and preventing the fire from getting to the attic with little man power and one truck comp OOS. Also was a delay in calling FD,

I give the PD credit for not shooting this guy dead on the spot!!! They should not alow people to wear costums or dress up to these movie screening and stop the midnight showings, i know it could have happened at any time of day/night. Now we are going to have metal detectors at the movies.

Yellow coats are the Lieutenant, tan coats are theDeputy Chiefs or the Chief of the dept, Black are the firefighters

Family of the scum bag will sue the state and the cop saying he(the cop) used excessive force and wasnt properly trained......

if you would have read jflynn quote before you fired off on your keyboard you would have seen he did say something about career ff's.

at 353 did he just give mouth to mouth?

looks like the projects, what would you except

The legislation puts in place a new Tier VI pension plan that includes: New Employee Contribution Rates: The new tier increases employee contribution rates in a progressive fashion to ensure lower paid state and local workers are not seriously affected. Employee contribution rates vary depending on salary: $0 - $45,000: 3% $45,000 - $55,000: 3.5% $55,000 - $75,000: 4.5% $75,000 - $100,000: 5.75% $100,000+: 6% These rates remain substantially lower than the large majority of similar state systems around the country. The new tier impacts only newly hired employees. Existing employees and retirees retain all benefits. Increase of the Retirement Age: The pension reform includes an increase in the retirement age from 62 to 63 and includes provisions allowing early retirement with penalties. For each year of retirement prior to 63, employee pension allowances will be permanently reduced by 6.5%. Readjustment of Pension Multiplier: Under Tier VI, the new pension multiplier will be 1.75% for the first 20 years of service, and 2% starting in the 21st year. For an employee who works 30 years, their pension will be 55% of final average salary under Tier VI, instead of 60% under Tier V. This readjustment brings New York more in line with most other states and will save billions of dollars for taxpayers and local governments. Vesting: Under Tier VI, employees will vest after 10 years of service. Protect Local Governments From State Pension Sweeteners: The agreement requires the state to pre-fund any pension enhancers, ensuring that these costs are no longer passed to local governments. Adjustments to Final Average Salary Calculation to Help Reducing Pension Padding: The agreement changes the time period for final average salary calculation from 3 years to 5 years. To limit how much overtime can be used to determine an employee's pension, pensionable overtime for civilian and non-uniformed employees will be capped at $15,000 plus inflation, and for uniformed employees outside of New York City capped at 15% of base pay. Tier VI puts in place new anti-spiking measures which cap growth in salary used to determine pension allowances at 10% for all employees statewide. These reforms will take major steps toward addressing instances of abuse and pension padding. Tier VI also eliminates lump sum payments of unused sick and vacation time from the calculation of final average salary. Voluntary and Portable Defined Contribution Option: The legislation includes an optional defined contribution plan for new non-union employees with salaries $75,000 and above. In the modern economy, employees often change jobs multiple times and need pension portability. Many states, the federal government, and most private employers provide some form of defined contribution plans to their employees. The state will make an 8% contribution to employee contribution accounts. Currently, SUNY and CUNY offer such an option through TIAA-CREF that has been successful and popular. This is a voluntary option for those employees who prefer the portability and vesting feature not available with defined benefit options, and will help attract top talent to state government. Adjustments to SUNY/CUNY TIAA-CREF Plan: Under Tier VI, SUNY and CUNY employees who elect the TIAA-CREF plan will receive an employer contribution of 8% of salary for the first 7 years of service and 10% thereafter. Limiting Number of Sick and Leave Days that Can Pad Pensions: Tier VI reduces by half- from 200 to 100- the number of sick and leave days that can be used for retirement service credit. Salary Reform: Previous tiers allowed salaries from an unlimited amount of employers for calculating retirement benefits. Tier VI allows only two salaries for the calculation. Limiting Pension Benefit of High Paid Employees: For new higher paid employees, the amount earned above the Governor's salary (currently $179,000) will not be eligible for pension calculation under Tier VI.

We idolized and memorialized Whitney Houston, yet looked the other way concerning her well known substance abuse and tumultuous life with singer Bobby Brown. Charlie Sheen is 45 and his story is all over the news because he is a substance abuser, an adulterer, sexually promiscuous and obnoxious. Lindsay Lohan is 24 and her story is all over the news because she is a celebrity drug addict and thief. Something as frivolous as Kim Kardashian's stupid wedding [and short-lived marriage] was shoved down our throats, While........
