PRO WARRINGTON BOOTS MODEL 4132SG leather.

THEY ARE PRO WARRINGTON BOOTS and are Leather. i got them in an auction so i cant return them but before i flip them for another pair thought maybe i could make them fit. when i have them on they feel great, like walking on air. but getthing them on and off is a real pain. how should i soak them if i wanted to try that?

All Hail ALS!!

Thats a great idea! best of both worlds. good smoke penitration and light wieght with a sleek no-hang-ups style. someone should e-mail them now with the idea

i love my light. it stays out of the way, is cheap and you can get it if you need it. you do have to have the right helmet thought. that metro style won't work cause the rubber band just comes right off.

all three rigs are run by the paid guys. the vollied use their own cars to get to the calls. as for specs it's a 1995 Marion-Spartan. it is the newest rig in our fleet

E-1 and TL-3 are still running so they aint gonna get replaced anytime soon, as far as i know. we like the old school style trucks, to heck with all those bells and whistles. maybe we can get a used one from Long Island, they might have a few extras laying around ;-)

AHAHAHAHAH um maybe she should have used PARK and got out of the car. i love how she just drives away like nothing happened

The whole thing is run by a computer. it is like the device they use in clubs to match the beat of the music to the stroke effects. i would think it took a couple of months to get that thing working. very impressive. all i have on my lawn in one of those moving raindeer! Happy Holidays Everyone

i like the lay out but still liked the headers to be a diffrent color. looks sweet though

two words: combonation department it works for pelham manor and pelham. we got the paid guys maning the rigs at all times. and if we have a worker and we need more people we can call other paid or combo depatments to come have some fun puting out the burning house.

can someone put them in a google earth file. then you can just upload them and see where everything is.

i think the only real thing they should be spenting on in gear(ie. helmet, jacket, pants, etc.) top of the line gear that fits every guy or gal perfectly. and maybe top of the line SCBA's. thats where the money SHOULD be going. not to buying a new keg-o-lator for the fire house bathroom juice bar. if yuur gonna buy things make it stuff that can be used by everyone. it's great that they have 139 rescue trucks but does everyone know how to use the tools inside? are the majorety of the crew trianed rescue guys? most likely not. what will a chromed out siren bell do for the department? not as much as a brand new pair of boots. i know i am kinda nit picking it but these are the things that are realy important

part 2 of the series

i was out there a while back for a funeral and afterward i got a tour with one of the chiefs. first off i could fit both engines and out ladder in their meeting room, not the banquet hall mind you, their meeting room. they had two bars, and a 5 bay garage plus one for doing work on the rigs. at one point i was in the resuce cause i have never seen the inside and just wanted to check it out. i picked up the TIC and was like oh this is cool. this is what he said to me " ya if you want that i could give it to you but i just need to wait for the money to come in for a new one." the thing was brand new, maybe 2 scratches on it. he was gonna just give it to me, no questions asked. he later on gave me 10 globe jackets and a couple of morning pride jackets cause they were two "old". the tag inside said 2003. and it was not that beat up. they also had the training room with the juice bar and they have the bars. i was like walking into a middle school. you know that feeling when you go in and there are trophys on the wall and awards. all new brick, and there are two flights of stairs. the chief office is like a school office. everyone has a personal office that is the size of most meeting rooms. LI fire house too much, mmmm maybe a little.

can anyone explain to me why this ladder has only one stablizer on the front bumper? i would think you need two to even it out but this rig has the 2 in the rear and 2 in the middle but only one up front. why is that?

thats not good.

i like that he brings the people who just walk up and are like "give me candy". i make them feel like moron by asking what they are. it is soo funny seeing those faces when they cant come up with a good answer. one kid came up and told me he was 50 cent, i gave him just that, $0.50. the look was priceless

ok so are we talking 7 guys with just random girls or with there wives/gf? i think it is wrong either way but i guess they really wanted to recreate that scene from backdraft

i took the westchester test and have been waiting awhile for a spot to open up. in that time i finished college at night(less homework, people have better additudes). so now i have a B.S. in Business and i plan on never using it in the way most people do, by putting it on a resume and doing the job search thing. As the other guys said it will help in advancement later on, it gives you a solid backup plan should it not work out being a firemen or cop also. plus most of the guys who take the test that it is there to weed out are the "Joey's" who just took it as a goof and may take a spot away from someone who is really looking for a career. i think they should raise the number of credits even higher, cause if you can last a few years in college you can most likely handle reading the essentials to firefighting book, which is bigger then most text books i ever had in school (and a hell of a lot more interesting too )

you got here before i did man. i saw the same thing. not waist strap, not hood, i think some guys may have not even had gloves(might have been on the ground). maybe they thought it was no big deal? small fire they thought they could handle it. but then again the guy does say it was so think that you could only stay alive a couple of minutes, they rushed to get clean air? who knows. but i think that the no hood is normal for them.

I have wanted to be a firemen since i was young. my grandfather was a vollie out in Long Island as well as in the navy and my father and his father were both service men in the armed forces, so serving ones community and country was kinda put in my head when i was growing up. i joined the department when a friend asked me to come to an inspection. he and his father were both members. at the inspection dinner they had a working call and just seeing them all jump up and leave sealed the deal for me. i have been on the vollie side for 5 years now and am on the top of the list for a paid job. i finished college with a business degree and have worked doing this and that but nothing grabs my mind like firefighting. i am not into wearing a suit and making money for a company that really does not reward me for my work. to think that some guys wake up every morning and take a train into the city, do there jobs, come home and thats it. they didn't really do anything to change the world or really help anyone. i like the in the fire service, you can hold your head up high knowing that your making a diffrence. it may not always be clear to you but you are. your actions can prevent a chain of events that lead to someone being hurt, or only losing there kitchen as appose to all there memories and belonings. you can travel the world and if you meet another firemen in a bar and you can buy him a drink and it is like he is one of the guys in your own station. it is family and it is trusting in one another. You know your are doing good. the money may not be there, but if you want to be rich, be a doctor. i also like sounds fire trucks make

i don't care what it looks like as long as it works. i mean yes the tan may be cooler and the black might show signs of wear better (ie. when your black gear starts to turn red, thats bad) i just wear what i am issued. black, tan, green, white, blue, whatever. as long as it is not pink. the important question is "does it work at making me and my crew safer?"

DANIEL BORUNDA El Paso Times Firefighters expecting to find flames instead found simmering Texas smoke pit barbecue when they busted into a new restaurant Tuesday night in Northeast El Paso. There was no fire, but the incident left behind two broken door locks, 100 pounds of ruined beef and an upset restaurant owner. "We err on the side of safety," El Paso Fire Department spokesman Lt. Mario E. Hernandez said. "The (owner) would have been more upset if we had not gone in and the building had burned down. We don't know if it's a piece of chicken cooking or a fire." Firefighters were dispatched at 9:36 p.m. Tuesday after a caller reported smoke on the roof and inside the building, a former Long John Silver's that had been empty for years at 5719 Dyer, by Broaddus Avenue. Restaurant co-owner Adrian Newton said firefighters should have shown restraint and should have noticed the smokestacks and large signs stating Bodacious Bar-B-Q. "It doesn't take a genius to see two smokestacks spitting smoke out of them," Newton said Wednesday as the smoky scent of barbecue wafted in the air. The restaurant, which is decorated in a Texas and serves East Texas-style brisket and ribs, had just opened Saturday. The meat is slow-cooked for 14 to 16 hours and was simmering overnight Tuesday. No employees were inside at the time. Emergency radio transmissions described the location as Long John Silver's. Six firefighting units arrived and found smoke flowing from vents and a strong odor of wood burning before firefighters made entry, fire officials said. Newton said firefighters pried open a front door, damaged a rear door and unplugged the indoor pit cooker, which ruined the meat. " 'Are you guys going to pay for our locks?' " Newton said he asked firefighters. "They said, 'No, we are just doing our jobs.' " The Fire Department will not pay for damage because it was acting in good faith and exercising due diligence in protecting the business, Assistant Fire Chief Don Marron said. He added that the case is under review and that a final report is pending. As for Bodacious Bar-B-Q, they'll keep on cookin'. "I don't have any hard feelings toward the Fire Department," Newton said. "I hope they come in and try some of our barbecue."
