  1. Actually 2-1-1 is the "Flag Signal" to take in the Flag. Chains are 2-2-2 (I think)
  2. They are? That's news to me and I work there!
  3. BTW- There's no such thing as "Extra" units in the Fire Service. JMO
  4. If it is only temporary why are YFD Units saying to; 60 Control instead of Yonkers? I know that YFD had some serious talks with the County a year ago or so about moving their Dispatch operations to 60 Control when Sweeny was Comr. either way it sounds like it's working.
  5. Anyone who wears a uniform should attend these Funerals.
  6. Sorry, I don't know what came over me......
  7. Sadly, it was just reported that 1 of the Officers has passed away. A terrible price to pay, leaving a wife and four young children without a Father. I truly hope the NYPD implements SOP's that protect responding Officer's in the future to prevent this from happening again. While their efforts were certainly valiant, the outcome was tragic. Proper training for Police Officers to effectively evaluate the location, severity and potential victims effected and relayed to responding FD units can be of tremendous value and drastically enhance the success of the operation for all involved. My prayers for the Officer's family and for the second Officer's full recovery.
  8. This might have something to do with it. http://www.lohud.com/article/20120405/NEWS02/304050100/Yonkers-commission-projects-growing-budget-deficit-calls-end-gimmicks-?odyssey=obnetwork
  9. Just to shed some light on this event ( I was there on the first alarm assignment)the resources supplied by FDNY were a result of their own Commanders actions. PMFD Chief called for foam right at the start of this job from FDMV, FDNR and then YFD. NYC received multiple 911 calls from nearby Bronx resident's who heard and saw the explosions and the Bronx CO sent their own assignment to the scene.The PMFD Chief did not waste any time in his decisions and all of the FDNY resources listed were sent by request of Division 7 Chief on the scene.ALL units worked very well together throughout the operation to bring about a successful conclusion with no serious injuries to any members or civilians.Hope this clears things up.
  10. Kudos to the City Administration and the Fire Department for making such a commitment to improving the Fire Department during a time when most Departments are being cut severely! Best of luck to the Brothers of FDMV!!
  11. Yes, it's a 2004 Ferrara Ultra originally built for FDNY and never delivered.
