Not many companies can build the apparatus like Seagrave does, so it can last in the city. I don't think that they were too impressed with the Lafrance Engine that they had for awhile. Ferrara Fire Apparatus is attempting too compete for the FDNY contract. They designed/retooled a new chasis, and built two pumpers that look similar to Seagrave's design.

This is a very tuff situation i am not a medic or emt but a firefighter you as a seasoned firefighter are responsible for your probie there isnt too many ways you can make it out of this alive. You can hope while you are down low to the floor the smoke is rising and the man starts choking and gaging on the smoke and being blinded and if you pull your nomex hood over your face and you might keep from taking in too much smoke and you might be able to crawl your way out of the room or as the smoke is over coming him bum rush him take his gun and either force him out of the house or just leave him in the house its either you or him and i am sure most will agree they want to be able to go home to there families. But also i am sure his daughter and family want to see him again too this is just a tough call

yorktown zone 4 c&o has a dog now too

ambulance corps are not giving anyone an incentive to stay or become members. they like to make it difficult to stay a member, and alot of ems agencies take members from other ems agencies instead of saying you live in this jurisdiction you should join with them. thats basically robbing the other vacs or corps of members. and some agencies demand you become an emt within a certain time frame. they are quick to demand ,but what do they do to give you any incentive to do so.

hey guys lets not forget the police dispatchers, especially the county police dispatchers. Seth, i know you know what its like over here. We are short handed, and have alot of responsibilities to take care of. I have also been on the fire and ems side of the dispatching as well. I worked for the somers fire district as a dispatcher, prior to westchester ems taking over, when you were in the room by yourself handling all the radio and phones. I also worked at westcom, which was the former stat flight dispatch center, another critical dispatching job especially when your monitoring helicopters that are in flight. dispatchers all around, and not just fire/ems or police deserve around of applause and the pat on the back for the jobs they do.

IT'S NO LONGER TS3 IT'S ENG 250 AND IT'S NOT A LADDER IT'S AN ELEVATED WATER WAY

Hopefully the Police Officers here in NY are just as nice to those CT Police Officers when they come to NY and return the favor. Its an emergency vehicle if it is going on an interfacility transport that means the patient they were transporting was too much of a risk to transport by ground let them do there job!

THE NEW LIST WILL BE OUT IN NOVEMBER NOT FEBRUARY

FIREDAWG I THINK YOU ARE ONLY ALOUD TO HAVE 10% OF YOUR MEMBERS LIVE OUTSIDE OF YOUR DISTRICT AND IF YOU ARE TAKING PEOPLE FROM OTHER DISTRICTS YOU ARE DEPRIVING THAT DISTRICT OF HAVING A MEMBER THAT LIVES IN THERE DIST

where is everyone getting yvac from there was 2 mohegan ambulances there if anything yvac was on standyby

Being there it was a small apartment fire nocked down by 1 13/4 handline. 700 ft of 5inch was layed into the scene by eng 250 and fed ladder 35 fire was nocked down in less than five minutes execelent knock down by the boys we were onscene while cause and origin conducted there investigation and while we removed smoke from the residence. the apartment was located in the rear of the home one of two apartments there at the address no extension into the main house or the other apartment just smoke units assigned were 2261,2266 Engine 250 Ladder 35 69B2 FM 52 FM 53

in mohegan i guess we do alright with the quints Ladder 10 is a 75ft smeal spartan gladiator with a 300 gal tank Ladder 35 is a 105ft smeal spartan gladiator with a 500 gal tank and eng 250 is a kme 55 ft telesquirt with a 500 gal tank top mount pump basically just an elevated water way. On a usual structual response we send Ladder 35 from HQ and waterever substation is closer too the incident where you might get another ladder on the response a telesquirt or engine

Those covers on the hose beds were not only on the mack pumpers they were also on the american La france pumpers yonkers also followed that style for along time but if you look at the trucks from back then the hose beds were much wider than they are now and seemed deeper

Bigdaddy muns i am with you i like the elephant that can jugle

cm they auction them off alot of them end up at the brooklyn navy yard thats where some of the auctions take place you can buy anything you want from the city any type of city vehicle.

My Dept reponds with an engine on all our Fasteam requests I think an engine is a smart move It's been more than once that the requesting agency needs our engine for hose or too draft for tankers so it almost has a dual purpose instead of striping the same dept for another engine or ladder atleast they can put that unit to work if needed its not like it is doing anything just parked at the firescene it will be there aslong as you are there with the fasteam so why not use it.
