Date:8/5/13 Time: 1650 Location: Pocono Raceway, Long Pond, PA Frequency: Units Operating: Weather Conditions: heavy rain, high winds Lightning Description Of Incident: 10 spectators leaving NASCAR race struck by one or more lightning bolts as they were leaving the grandstand area. One fatality at this time, another listed critical. Unsure if the lightning struck the grandstand or parking area behind it. I was in a friend's car in the parking area and saw the lightning. Over 100,000 in attendance today. Large crowds attempting to get out of stadium to parking area as race called early to approaching storm Reporters: grumpyFF

Had a good time, but it felt like there was too many trucks to look at. Inside the warehouse was extremely tight, making for hard photo taking. A teaser, and then I am off to bed(busy day today, and again tomorrow) I will post more on Monday. Larchmont's 1922 American Lafrance

All in good fun

Here are some of the photos I got from Ball Pond today. Good luck and hope for many years of safe operation with the Squad.

Had a great time! Photos to follow

So many trucks, so little time and room. I left early to get to Ball Pond's wet down. Larchmont's egine did look great

Rest in Peace.

I was with PFDescue47 today at the services. The FDNY has always been great during the tough times after loss of a loved member of the service. Unfortunately they are so great at times like this due all the practice they have had over the years. They were excellent in including members of Pleasantville Volunteer Fire Department, and Pleasantville Volunteer Ambulance Corps in the services last night and today. I recognized some faces last night and today from jobs in the Bronx, and I was glad to see that everyone had great memories of Lenny, it's a great reflection of the man he was. Even FDNY Commissioner Sal Cassano's speech at the church was spot on, describing Lenny and all his great qualities. Boston EMS sent their Honor Guard,as well as representatives of Mountain Rescue Aspen, and the turnout at the church was awesome. One LT mentioned it was the largest funerals she had seen in 10 years. As the family left the church we were 2 deep for almost two complete city blocks. Lining up as the family left the church: church Lenny, until we meet again.

Good Luck Christopher!! you will come thru just fine

Thank you!

Looking forward to it. . Andy, any charge for bringing a truck..i might be able to bring our 1986 Jeep J20 brush truck.
