The county Tech Rescue Swift Water team has been there since this morning.

It's interesting how someone’s password being hijacked and a malicious post can actually turn into a good topic.

Any vehicle that's upside down.

Those of us that Volunteer should be proud enough of what we do to educate the public that we are highly trained and professional, not hide the fact that we are vollie's. Kentland VFD has no problem advertising the fact that they volunteer, they have it in big letters on all of their rigs.

Just saw it on TV. Looked like a rear tire shreaded and broke the car in half right at the drivers legs. Compound fracture of the left lower leg, abrasions of the right leg to the bone, broken left wrist and fingers.

I assume that you mean engine EMF noise coming from your speakers. Electro Magnetic Frequency can come from any source that operates with a pulsating current. ie ignition system, alternator, injection system, etc. The faster the pulse the less noise you will hear (it's still there, but it appears to disappear because the ear can't process an extremely fast repeating noise.) If you rev the engine up does the noise get faster? The first thing you need to do is make sure that the stereo itself has a good ground to the chassis of the car. Second, make sure any stereo wires are routed away from the engine or at least behind a piece of metal (firewall). A wire that runs next to another wire can pick up EMF through induction. Other than that, talk to the stereo manufacturer and see what they say. Good luck

Wow! That's all I have to say about that.

Why is that wood chipper on it's side close to the edge in #1?

By BILL HUGHES whughes@lohud.com THE JOURNAL NEWS (Original publication: August 17, 2006) YORKTOWN — A man who apparently fell asleep while smoking a cigarette yesterday was rescued by a volunteer assistant fire chief who saw smoke coming from a Douglas Drive building while working his day job as a town employee. Assistant Chief Martin McGannon was driving to check out a nearby pump station for the town's wastewater pumping system about 9 a.m. when he saw smoke rising from a second-floor bedroom at 3098 Douglas Drive and got out of his vehicle to check the building. McGannon got inside the front door and found a man at the base of a stairwell conscious but suffering from smoke inhalation. He managed to get the man and his pet cat safely out of the house. Firefighters from the Yorktown Heights Engine Company 1 arrived and contained the fire to the bedroom while others administered oxygen to the man and his cat until paramedics arrived. The resident declined further medical treatment and was allowed to remain at the house, which sustained minor damage.

I disagree. They do have a place on the fire ground just like other "support" personnel. If properly trained and supervised, juniors are an important asset on the foreground doing alot of the "grunt" work that many older support people may not be willing to do. The SSO class would be perfect for them. You are also wrong about NYS Child Labor Laws protecting them. When we first formed our Junior Corps I looked into this and received an opinion from a NYS Dept of Labor Attorney that said since they are not being compensated, child labor laws do not apply. That being said, it would be foolish for any officer to put a J/C member in a dangerous situation.
