Pawling's new tanker is also on that page....

If they were in fact "explorers", which are a group of young adults between the ages of 14-20 and are sponsored by the Boy Scouts of America, then they are restricted from taking any NYS OFPC class. If they are junior members that are legally approved by the AHJ as a "member" which is generally 16-18, then they have the right to sit in any NYS class as any other person, but cannot perform hazardous duties as sited in other replies here.

what was the need for it to be "overhauled" ?

Link from article in POJO news... http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/article...Fire-Department Some facts touched on: 1) One of the charter members of the Beekman Fire Protectives which was formed in 1937, joined in 1939 and remains active to this day 2) Fire Chief for 21 consecutive years from 1949-1970 3) Serves on board of fire commissioners, today serves as chairman. First elected in 1970. 4) Dutchess County, as well as the town of beekman, proclaimed 9/14 as Kenneth Mallen day 5) The board of fire commissioners dedicated the addition at the fire station to Mr Mallen.

2 weeks away. Id love to see some Bravo faces there...whos in??

its another wrong way accident. person going south in the north bound lane, and apparently influenced by something illegal. sounded like a bad one on initial reports, members on scene had all patients extricated quickly. Hopefully this doesnt end like the TSP incident.

we have a hydrant out front

Congrats Ferg! But i must know one thing, we had a bet a long time ago as to whether or not your first child would come out sporting a set of irons!

I am looking for any info on buying plastic and ceramic mugs for a wetdown. If you have any recommendations, please PM be with the company info. Thanks!

Looks good Chief. I always love seeing the old photos.

Their last boat was the same as this one, almost identical. It was for sale on SVI's website for quite some time. I heard through the grapevine that the previous boat was purchased not knowing it was a demo unit, and they had problems with it. They also have 2 Achillies inflatable boats.

Sweet looking ride Rich. What is that on the roof in front of the lightbar? looks like a mini solar panel

The PUC, sadly did not get used. we were going to use it for cleanup with the foam due to the huge piles of debris, but we had the excavator there quickly and we just pulled it apart and soaked it down with the water supply that was already established.

We keep our guys on probation until they can prove that they can function as part of the team and do the skills needed to get the job done. Minimum, no matter what your background, is 1 year. To be interior in Beekman, you have to have FF1, survival, HM Ops, and annual rope training, at least 1 department live burn and 10 drills. Last year we did between 40-50 drills and 3 live burns. We weeded out all the dead wood and guys that just came for the "big one" and have a strong group of guys that I would be confident giving any job on the fireground. The guy you saw Dan, is doing his OJT and is on his way to becoming interior, if its who im thinking. Pawling fire?

impressive!

Nice looking rig. good luck with it

what made you decide on Ferrara? i know you guys have a mixed bag of manufacturers over there

maybe we should get all the new deliveries together and have one GIANT wetdown!

If you are referring to Fairview's 41-11, i believe its a Marion on a Spartan Chassis

Milan had something burning with Pine Plains as M/A... Now EFFD is being requested with the ATV/Engine to go to Putnam
