Just so you know, I believe the 20th is the Hudson Valley Convention, that might draw some of the crowd you're looking for away.

Great shots! I'm pretty sure this is the fire that my dad told me about that he was able to see from Yonkers.

Decision, decisions... that's the night of the Montrose FD Parade and my 21st B-day.

Great job by all!

No, I don't think so Skip. You're a d*mn good driver.

Mike your too much. And knowing you Bababoosky is right, take pictures cuz you wont remember. Ill have Hamden and AMR on standby and a room at Yale ready for you. Remember I live in the room next to you if you need anything. Anyone in the New Haven area, feel free to stop by Whitney Bar and Grill on Whitney Ave in Hamden. (I won't be able to attend, I'm not 21 yet)

Holy Front Scene Lights Batman! Great Pictures Mark. The front pump panel is an interesting setup, never seen one like that before. I also like the irons partner storage, I've always seen them stored seperately.

In my department, we roll more then one engine to car fires. 2 Engines and Utility on all NYS Thruway calls (car fires, MVA's, etc.), 3 Engines on car fire calls inside the village. We also dual respond with another department on a certain area of the Thruway who also rolls with 2 Engines for car fires/MVA's.

Date: 4/6/09 Time: 12:15 approx Location: 146 S. 13th Ave Frequency: Units Operating: MVFD Weather Conditions: Raining Description Of Incident: Working fire in a private dwelling, second floor. Reporters: gpdexplorer's mom... lol Writer: gpdexplorer Fire blowing out 2nd floor windows upon arrival. Negative search results. Eastchester FD and Pelham FD were relocated. PM with any updates since I wasn't there and my mom doesn't know what to do except call 911 when she saw the fire.

I feel like this scenario is becoming very common place lately. I have a friend in the Atlanta FD who got into an altercation with an Atlanta PD officer after he pulled a woman out of crack house. As he was tryin to get her to a bus for smoke inhalation the officer placed her into custody and wouldn't allow the FF to take her to receive treatment. The FF tried to get the P.O. to let her get medical attention and the P.O. escalted things from there. Luckily the FF didn't get hooked up, only because supervisors saw what happened.

Over the winter, Tarrytown's Utility 61 had reflective striping added to it. Finally able to get some shots of it. The work was done at Sign Extreme in Sleepy Hollow. If you ever need something, check with them, they produce some high quality stuff and are very friendly. I got to check it out while they were striping it and I was very pleased. Here's a before shot from the Tarrytown FD website.

I'm just gonna guess and say that the screen is what is being taped on the dash cam. Unless I'm looking at something wrong.

Very nice! Send it over here and we can give it to Verplanck

Isn't that old rescue still in service with Greenburgh Civil Defense?

I figured I'd post some pics for the new Training/Drill section. Here are some pictures from a Mock DWI Car Crash at Quinnipiac University in Fall 2007 that my fraternity and another student organization put on. Agencies involved: Hamden PD, Hamden FD, American Medical Response

Thanks Sage, I will. We have one of our fraternity brothers get "locked up" by Hamden P.D.

Does anyone know what happened on the Saw Mill River Parkway tonite? Was driving by the old Cantina restaurant and there was ton of PD vehicles and FD on scene with a light tower set up facing into the woods. Couldn't tell if it was Dobbs Ferry FD or Irvington FD.

Thanks guys

I love the Pope's red kicks.

Wassaic's newest apparatus?

JHK, I think the plow is probably used to clear brush out of the way of that unit, since it's a brush truck.

Good job guys! Good ole John Visone
