GFD70

L4 is a 2001 75' Pierce quint w/ a 400 gallon tank. 9 times out of 10 L4 will take the front of the buildingwith E150 taking the hydrant. GFD has run a quint a L4 since the early 1990's when TL4 was replaced.

Just to update, I found out that there was also filming done recently in Hartsdale in the Poet's Corner's area but I don't know if it's for the same movie.

Does anyone have any info on what is being filmed in Pelham. I passed by the Pelham train station around 2:00pm today (5/19) and saw filmcrews set up on the south-bound platform and trucks & trailers parked across the street.

Thanks. I live in Greenburgh and can't pick it up but I also seem to get bad reception where I am (not just scanner but my cell phone too.) possibly because of the WFAS antenna down the road.

What an absolute waste of foam. Looking at that picture makes me think of that Newsday artlice from a few months back. I guess it doesn't only apply to Long Island. I wonder who is going to explain to the taxpayers that they need to buy more foam because they had to use it for a wetdown...

Has anyone tested to see how far the new system will reach?

I'm not looking to criticize you or anyone else but I have to disagree with a couple of things Building one large apparatus bay would allow for enough room for the tower ladder as well as plenty of room for an engine. This would also provide space for the future if larger apparatus are purchased down the road. In Greenville, the apparatus bay is pretty much one big room with 4 bays. The ceiling height allows for both a ladder and engine to fit with plenty of extra space. I have to disagree with each company having their own section. Remember, you guys are part of the same department regardless of what company you are in.

I'm not looking to start a paid vs volunteer debate but when you have to start having taxpayers pay to build affordable housing to keep you membership numbers up I think it's time to rethink how your department operates.

In Greenville both E150 & L4 have 3 FF's plus the duty captain so there is usually 1 rig with 4 men and 1 with 3 men. Also st times both have 4 men when the training officer is on duty. When Greenville goes on mutual aid (usually with E151) there are 3 FF's and a Capt. assigned. Also, off the top of my head I believe Hartsdale E170, New Rochelle E25 each have 4 men.

Hartsdale dispatches themselves. Not all calls get dispatched over 46.26. HFD23 or X635 know better then me but I think only fire calls get toned out, EMS and public assist calls don't. Also, 60 Control tones out HFD when they do a dual response with Greenville, HFD then tones out a signal 9 themselves.

One of my professors this semester is a doctor who is working with the government to study the Avian lfu. He said thatif an outbreak were to occur among humans, anywhere from 200,000 to 2 million would likely be affected.

Corning Community College also accepts NYS Training Courses as college credits. I remeber seeing the list of classes and how many credits they are worth. I think FF1 was like 5 or 6 credits. I think you need 60 credits to get a Fire Protection degree from there.

I know Mount Vernon had one. I also seem to recall Fairview either having a snorkel or a telesquirt at some point.

Say what you want about FDMV but I don't see how their staffing issues are any different from the rest of Westchester. Just listen to the scanner and you'll hear plenty of departments who have to be retoned 2 or 3 times before they even get the staffing that FDMV has. Mount Vernon probably does a better job with what they have then some departments who claim they don't have any manpower issues.
