Yet another reason why I dont mind paying what I do for their services. Great job once again AFD! You will never hear me complain about higher fire taxes, because you get what you pay for!

Speedy recovery to the injured and stay safe KFD!

Great Job Arlington! As a resident of the Arlington Fire District i could not feel more safe and more confident in their services. Both the career and volunteer sides (though they may squabble at times and have their issues with one another) work very well together once the bell rings. At least from what i can see as a civilian. Their response times and the manpower is 2nd to none in the area in my opinion and I have no issues with the taxes that i pay for their services. I sleep good at night knowing what crew is out their to answer the call should the need arise. So again great job and keep on doing what you do!

WOW! God Bless her! Happy birthday and many many more!

This manikin is just one of many. You should see some of the others that have. These things are amazing!

RIP!

For all you FIOS fans, just wait till the bill changes after the first year. You think cablevision prices were bad, FIOS will give you a heart attack. All I can say is that there is no way you can try and charge extra for something if you offer on the internet for free. These idiots are going to end up like all of the newspaper companies that keep laying off employees cause paper sales are down. Like the old saying goes, why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free. If you want to watch the oscars tonight, go online and enjoy. However if we lost the full range of channels which included all of the ESPN's then Direct TV would have been my first choice within a day. But honestly who cares about Oprah, Lost, and so on.... Channel 7 will be back within three days.

Ok, all I did was ask a question. I really didnt mean to start a huge thread or a big pissing match. I was just wondering what the reasoning beyond it was. I was a simple question. And as for this whole reputation ranking thing on the site, I am just curious why I am at negative now for asking a question? I guess I now know my lesson and that is to not ask questions and your rep will never be impacted up or down. I do want to say thanks to the Chief from Highland for answering the question. He didnt have to but he did and I appreciate it.

Easy on the sarcasm bro. I was simply asking a question.

Thanks for clarifying some things.

Can someone explain to me why Hughsonville would be the second due fast team to Highland? What about City Of Pok, Fairview, Arlington, New Hamburgh or even Kingston could be there in 10 minutes with a quick trip down the thruway. I understand Marlboro is the first due and if they are not available Hughsonville is next? That is absolutey ridiculous, I understand the whole concept of not taking away all resources from the airway but isnt the Fast Team a very important team that is needed at the scene. I am sure that if you took one of the other teams that is much closer it would not have hurt the areas. I could be wrong about this but it just seems to me that having a department come from 20 minutes away is a little bit much. Just my opinion and I could be way off base but maybe someone can explain. And before anyone gets all pissed I am not bad mouthing Hughsonville by anymeans. They were called and they responded and they are just doing what they were asked to do.

Does anyone know what might be going on near Academy Street on the East Bound Arterial. On my way home from work I just past an area with crime scene tape all set up and a bunch of Police units. As I was driving by the City Of Poughkeepsie Crime Scene Van was pulling up. Just curious as to what was going on.

Does anyone know what is going on out at Pine Plains high school. Pojo news says school is on lockdown due to a very fluid situation and that police have a perimeter set up around the school. I have also heard Pine Plains and Milan FD get put on stand by with some county cars are also going out to be on stand by at Pine Plains fire house. I have some friend with family there and I am just curious as to what is going on. If people know but due to the situation cant say then I completely understand and we will wait for more info to be released.

Has any one seen that City Of Kingston may have to layoff 14 police officers and 12 firefighters if their budget goes through the way it is looking right now? http://www.dailyfreeman.com/articles/2009/...9b422092832.txt

Thats not the boat I was talking about. I thought they had one of those jetski boats that looked like two jet skis side by side with a platform in the middle. I remember seeing it on their website and in their lot and within a year it was gone. The boat they have now is real nice, my only question is, is Chelsea going to have access to this boat as well considering it is alot closer to them and is docked in their district?
