on the job

I would love to shake Acting Chief Behre hand ,.... and thank him... for standing up to what he believes in, for the better of the people in the township ,and the Bloomfield Police Dept.

Maybe... we should forward this incident to the CHP officer who arrested the firefighter last week for trying to protect the scene of an MVA.

Take a look at wappingers new ladder picture on this site ... also 100' ladder rear mount ...single axle .. but with bucket

You got to be kidding me ????, it also has this thing in the middle..... called a pump.

I support Duracell, and will not buy anything else....they have always supported the fire service thru donations, so we should support them.

Couple years ago Duracell donated a couple cases of batteries (9volt, A ,AAA) to us to give out to anybody in the district that needed them for smoke alarms.

They are also a American company located in CT.

Boy ..I see they put a lot of thought in that color scheme.

First, I was not there..... but, I do not see anything out the ordinary on this truck setup. I think if you are truck chauffer you should be expected to operate the truck you train and work with.

With this said, that is why I am a big fan of mid-mount tower ladders due to the low turntable to get under wires and with shorter booms.

instead of watching a drone !!!!....they should of been watching out for the wall of bricks that came down and hit the brother firefighters on a ground ladder at that fire, one hurt seriously.

It is absolutely amazing how THE DUTCHESS COUNTY PERSONAL DEPT. works... and let people or person become chief that dont even have FF 1 ..............LOL.

Does "samantha" give the age of the patient........or is that to much to ask, or is it to many numbers.

A standard for NYC for over 80 years....reasons are the black barrels do not soil and are cheap to maintain,as the the bonnets are painted silver protects agaist corrosion and are easy to see at night.

Amenia and Hughsonville 45-55. Was told last night Arlington 32-45 and New Hamburg 53-45 were going but can't confirm. Claverack (Columbia) sent an engine.

While this true and I'm not going to argue with that, lets look at how many police departments throughout New York State have forward facing blue lights. Aside from that looks like a great new engine, I wish West Harrison the best of luck with it and I'll look for the announcement of a wet down.

"While this true " ...two wrongs don't make it right.

First of all.. nice engine, and good luck.

Here is where the sh*t storm is going to start..... Why do departments in New York State continue to put front facing blue emergency lights on the front of there apparatus ???

Please don't tell me because it looks cool,....IT's AGAIST THE LAW !!!

With so many "sue happy" people out there I would stay far from it, a flashing blue light is for volunteer firefighters as a courtesy light only (New York State Vehicle Traffic Law Section 375)

OH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!!!! is that a fire hose on a car ....................LOL........seen that before.

Nice job "BROTHERS"

Jim,

Congratulations,............ and the next time you see her say THANK YOU from all of us.

GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.

"Joe Moore" said ....looks like a can job...LOL

**JUST A QUICK NOTE** I like for us to keep in mind the bother firefighters who were the first responders to this heart braking incident...... , anything that involes kids is a little harder to deal with.

Just three weeks ago they also lost a young child to a working house fire.

God Bless Newburgh firefighters

Who is this PHOTOUNIT character ??

New Hamburg Fire District, Town of Poughkeepsie, N.Y.

736 alarms

Production is underway

I just don't get it ???? who cares what rig or in this case, ladder trucks FDNY buys. I thought I was missing out on somthing when I was checking out todays posts.

And one more thing...................GOOD LUCK on Ferrara ladders trucks.

OUCH.......hope evrything works out , Jim.

Nothing that most of us have not seen... but you can tell the cold weather is coming to the North East. Here are a couple of PHOTOS from a recent alarm of a person that had fallen and was feeling dizzy in the New Hamburg Fire District when they responeded the portable CO meter went into alarn while tending to patient in the residence, firefighters conducted a investigation and came across a 20 pound propane tank feeding a portable heater in the home to keep the house warm. When I approached the home owner to explain the concerns for the home onwer and firefighters the home owner statement was "Money is Tight"

Hats off to Firefighters Pat Gallagher and John "Chirch" chirichella on the early morning grab utilizing a ground ladder to rescue a woman with heavy fire and smoke conditions. I was told that the woman could not even be seen in the window.

GOOD WORK............congrats
