  5. Not an "arm chair quarterback" but would have done the samething...not a fan of chasing someone for that amount of time..as I say at work I'm fat and don't like to run.
  6. So many good stories about role models.. Well here's one more My role model is my gradfather Thomas Gregory Conklin ex state fire instructor, ex commissioner, ex iron worker and even a small busniess owner. As a young kid (even tho I'm still young) the 6 hour ride from NY to PA was great. Going to see my grandfather who moved to PA after my grandmother lost her battle to breast cancer. I Remember him telling me the best time he ever had in the fire service was training all of the new guys in Montour falls. His one piece of advise to me was join the fire house. as a child. Thought it was the greatest thing. Wasn't until he passed 8 years ago that I realized how many lives and friends he had touched and made. Seeing fire departments come from as far as montecllo see him laid to his final resting place next to my grandmother in the cementery. Really made me see what he ment. He also stated weather we are paid volunteer or as he out fire chasers, we still have one purpose help our commiunity. As I write this I have his old New Yorker with his State instructor sheild on it. love u pop...and miss u

  9. heres what i can say about that day. 1. only 1 retone went out the first was trivillage with batt 10. (my pager has playback thank god) 2. KED 763 confirmed the fire from the front window being building is next to the fire house and in eye shot of the radio room 3. engine 122 after arriving on scene after dispatch transmitted another working fire 4. dont know y but to me it seems like some departments get picked on more then others. yes i did say picked on because thats my personal feelings. and if so y? are these departments being used as good examples or bad examples? either way it sucks to me a member from a department and have them picked on or always a topic of disscussion.

  20. Having been in the city of flint I can say that it is a ghost town. I feel for the firefighters losing their jobs. But I am not surprised. After stopping at a small diner in flint it was quite obvious the only thing going up was the high school drop out rate. As said in previous posts I too hope that its not the firefighters themselves aren't setting these. I thought they were supposed to be teaching fire safty not arson 101.
  21. Captains car...chevrons are now required on all emergency vechiels. Cortlandt VAC has been sending their rigs to mcafferies in peekskill. I will get some pictures and post them.
