Looks like your busy!

The news article was "downtown" fire nothing to do with "up town"... Purchase has a major water main break on Purchase St. near Lake St. I don't know the specifics, but that's pretty much what's going on. Water Dept and DPW are on location. That's all I know, I'm sure someone will chime in.

Towns over? Like Harrison and Town of Mamaroneck? I'm not understanding your question. Is that far to you?

As we go about our busy lives many forget why we have the freedom we have. Freedom was not just handed to us; it had to be won with a very big price. So, today or anyday for that matter when you see a veteran say "thank you". Also, take the time to pray for our troops who are currently serving all over the world, as well as those who paid the highest price for our freedom.

R u sure this time??

Ok lets see if I can answer some of these. I see where your coming from and you make some good points. Outside odors of gas... Yes your right Con-ed job, But using one of my calls as an example. Outside odor turned into 3 hours of checking numerous houses and buldings. The gas was migrating into the sewers and getting into some houses, Also was migrating into another town which then had to be notified turned into a big mess. Wires down and burning... Are they burning towards anything? near anything? If the cops have all the bases covered then great. But I've seen some far out things and just glad no one has been injured or killed. Primary wires down,just this afternoon the patrol car is about 2 feet away and the officer is outside the car talking to the home owner, was the scene safe? No. Con-ed arrived and said the wires were live. Look,like I said I don't want to battle cop vs fire. You have valid points, and I respect your opinions. I guess most of this stems from a long list of problems we have with our police department,and I'm not afraid to say it but talk to the town board or the chief?? Done that since I've been chief twice so far... And you see where I'm at. But I won't give up. I'm NOT going to wait until someone gets hurt.

AHH.... I hear this soooooo many times my ears hurt... PD going to smoke in the house"check and advise". I've called 60-control plenty of times when the cops go out on calls that I feel the fire department should be at. 2am PD going to an outside odor of gas then gets on the radio to advise HQ the odor is strong and extends the entire block,HQ advises con-ed gas notified. I get up and call 60-control to dispatch 1 engine to the scene. It's great when you get there and the cops want to know who called and I reply "I did". Not to make it a cop vs firemen thing, I'm sure it happens all over to everyone. But c'mon wires down and burning??? Where is the FD?

Yes...

2 engine response. But it kind of depends on the call also. Heavy smoke in the area everything rolls, 2 engines will investigate while the ladder the 3rd due engine and the rescue will stage in the general area.
