Remember that when you take your department car to the NYS Chief's Show at Turning Stone Casino. And you guys are worried about a commissioner's car at Woodbury Commons.

Lowest qualified bidder, on a Performance based spec

Current E259 will be retired (its a 1984 Pierce). E260 will become the spare. The new Engine will be assigned to DP Hayes Hose in place of E260. Unsure what number the new engine will take (my guess is E90)

The old 90 has been in private ownership for the last 7 years or so, it is down in Virginia. Current owner is looking to sell it , due to another purchase he made. When sold it had a full lightbar, which the owner replaced with a more period correct rotator. rear lights were replaced as well IIRC it is a Hale two stage 1500 pump. As for the Detroit, 671 I think...not totally positive on that

Wish I could, but no money, or place to store. My Homeowners Association would flip their lid (it was bad enough when I had the chief's car)

Passed in on Route 22 in Pawling. Looked Great!

It will need new tires all around(one of the fronts is gouged down to the belts). Front drum brakes are leaking. Transmission is an unknown. There are some issues with rust...small hole near headlights, lumpy body in spots, around the rear tires has been painted a different color red, compartment under driver door, and underneath the body. Given the dis function of the dept I don't think I can be fixed (truck or dept) I recommend selling it to Andy Leider

There was a ruling back in February, for New York City, that an employee who retires with a medical disability due to a line of duty incident, is no longer entitled to have the city pay for further medical treatment, including doctor visits, medications (prescription included), therapy, etc. The retiree, or his personal insurance must cover the costs. Here is an article in the NY Post http://nypost.com/2013/02/20/finests-benefit-of-doubt-retiree-med-lap/ The PBa was looking into appealing the decision.

Hope things work out in a positive way for him. Remember this when someone says unions are not needed and part of the problem.

Ex-Ladder 79 Yonkers?

Ex-NYPD ESU Truck 10 Truck 12

The newest addition...the 2013 Ford Police Interceptor. The first marked units have arrived and entered service within the last month. Here is a cell phone pics of one assigned to Highway 1 in the Bronx. The size of it surprised me at first, almost the size of the outgoing Ford CVPI. The inside looks well set up (no photos at this time)

Personally to me it is dead. Stabbed in the back to the point I left, and haven't looked back

Thats great, but what happens when the department or departments around you do not share your desire for training? Do you as an officer in charge call them for mutual aid, or do you bypass them. Just search for topics on this board using the term 'Yonkers' to get your answer. It happens frequently in Westchester, and is one of the problems facing the fire service in Westchester
