Seth, I have this light on my helmet: http://www.edarley.com/edarley4/catalog.cf...gory&linkid=354 The recoil LED's power right through the smoke, even better than xenon bulbs. I love it. It's a tad bit expensive, but well worth the cost. I went through 3 garrity's in a month, and decided that was enough. The garrity's break if dropped, are susceptible to water damage, and can melt. The Saber isn't susceptible to any of the above. If the LED light is not what you like, my buddy has this one, and it works great: http://www.edarley.com/edarley4/catalog.cf...gory&linkid=354 I was given my light and helmet clamp, so I don't know where they were purchased. Both should fit in this holder (don't say they do, but they do): http://www.edarley.com/edarley4/catalog.cf...tion&linkid=191 Hope that helps. You may also want to see the firehouse.com forums. There is an entire section on flashlights.

Nice shots!

I was told they will be spares, 1 or 2 are to be disposed of. The old ones no longer have the Intelligiant Stangs, so I don't know if they could actually become spares.

I didn't get that out of no book... I meant L705, but for some reason labeled a reserve ladder as a reserve engine, and not even the correct one. I have shots of RL705 parked in L20. Also, Highway 170 is now a SOC support unit.

Congrats Guys!

You have to put the scanner into "TONE OUT MODE," it will monitor only one frequency. When the tones go out, the alert goes off, very much like a minitor.

I have the BCT396T. It is great, works every time, and doesn't go off when it is not supposed to like the Minitor V. As to the number of tones you can store, you can have 10 alerts when in the alert mode or "TONE-OUT MODE." Thing is, the thing won't go off unless it is in the "TONE-OUT MODE." It has to be held on the frequency, and in that mode. You can not scan in this mode. It is rumored that the next Uniden digital scanner, coming in May '06, will have a feature where you can scan and alert.

This is very disappointing. I liked the show, mostly because it was the only decent firefighting show on television. Sad that they cancel this stuff, but I guess there is not a large enough group of watchers, or the money for the show went away. Hopefully, the show will come back, in a city like LA, or Miami.

Generally there is 1 captain, 3 lieutenants, and 10 firefighters on the island at all times.

Lol!

I have a Cairns 1010, it can be annoying at times, but I like it.

Holmatro tools rock!

I may be an explorer in a vollie dept., but have sat in the City of Albany on mutual aide (to cover the city) many times. I generally ride duty crew on the weekends, so I ride the calls. We have been called into the City of Albany several times when they had a working fire (usually 3rd alarm or higher), and they had run out of units. On one occasion, we sent an engine to one house, and a truck to another. I was on the truck, we were sent to a house with a reserve engine. The deputy chief requested that city ff's were recalled to staff the reserve apparatus. When the recall firefighters arrived, they did not say high, or even make eye contact. We are told to wait in the apparatus bay, so we do. We were not invited in, or talked to. We were eventually returned to service when the City of Troy's apparatus arrived in the city, with out a 'thank you' or even a nod. Other times, we have just gotten a "hi" or a quick chat, but nothing that you would come to expect in the fire service. Albany requests that we are called up to standby in their quarters until other paid departments are in the city. There is a rumor that the city will no longer use the volunteers to standby in their quarters. My thoughts are, we could at least get a thank you or even a nod. We are all there to help the paid firefighters, whether we like them or not. I personally LOVE the City of Albany Fire Department. I go buffing there often, and am treated well. I ride with them sometimes, and also do fire apparatus/scene photography for them. There would also be an issue, if the city decided not to call the vollies when they ran out of apparatus. Albany takes quite a few calls, my dept can be in the city with a fully staffed rig in 4-5 minutes. It takes Troy Fire 15-20 minutes to enter the city, Watervilet Fire about 15, Green Island Fire about 20-25, and Cohoes 25-30 minutes. That means, if the city is out of apparatus, they will be uncovered for at least 15 minutes. If they have a very large fire, and have already called Watervilet and Troy for apparatus, they won't get any more apparatus from those cities to cover their city. That means, if they have to call Green Island, or Cohoes, the city is not covered for 20+ minutes! Chances of not having any calls for 20+ minutes is very low, especially when there is a large fire in the city. They usually get a couple calls reporting an odor of smoke from various parts of the city, which requires a box assignment of 2 & 1 + a rescue, the rescue squad and a battalion chief (if the response protocols haven't been modified by a chief).

From my website: Governor's Island is part of the borough of Manhattan. FDNY Reserve Engines 519 (SP02013) and 525 (SP9375), Reserve Ladders 709 (SL9104) and 710 (SL9103) are located there. Additionally, Governor's Island houses 3 Engines, 1 Tower Ladder and 1 Brush Fire unit. Two of the pumpers and the TL are ex- US Coast Guard. One of the pumpers is ex-E34, Ex-E257 - It's a 2002 American LaFrance Eagle/R.D. Murray (ALF). 1000/500. (AP02001) All are under the command of Division 1/Battalion 1. If there was ever a fire on the island, I believe additional firefighters are transported by fireboat to the island to staff reserve apparatus. I think there is also a system set up in which apparatus is transported by ferry. Hope that helps.

D200 Looks like a nice camera. I was going to get the Canon 20D, but this looks like it will be worth the money. This will also drive down the cost of the D70s, Rebel XT, and the 20D. So many choices...

Happy (belated now) Birthday!!! This site just keeps getting better and better!
