Great photos. Who was the wrecker company who did the recovery?

Here's more information: He joined the military for a 4 year commitment after college. After colllege, he took a few civil service exams, and joined the reserves. He was sent overseas for a couple of tours, and returned home, took the civil service test again.....got through the hiring process....and the economy tanked, and the academy was cancelled. My main question, though, is about the economy, hiring process, and how I feel it is unfairly excluding excellent canidates who don't have any chance at all, really, in the current economy. This is not a NYS or TX Civil Service applicant.

YHFD Station 2 It replaces the dive trailer, which I believe was to be repurposed, possibly as a haz mat response trailer or something similar. No. Mini-Attack 8 is still in service as a brush truck and tactical support vehicle. More info on YHFD's Dive team: http://www.yorktownfire.org/content/dive/

I know NYC's Fire Patrol has been shut down for a while now, a result of the insurance industry being shortsighted and cheap) but I'm just wondering, what's happened to the buildings, apparatus, and most importantly, the firefighters who served on the NYC Fire Patrol?????

UPDATE from the Greenburgh Email list:

I can't believe Westchester is STILL not using CPAP!!!!

OK, I acknowledge that this may be one of the most lame questions I've ever asked. But, how, when, and where does NYPD wash their cars??? And where do they fuel?
