Actually, you're right.........................

Further information.....It's on order, it's gonna be a 2005 KME 95' Midmount NO pump. (Similar to West Harrison and Fairviews, minus the space wasting pump and tank)

If you want more megapixels, you're gonna spend more money for a quality camera 4.0MP's is not too shabby, of course more is always better, what are you planning to use the camera for? IMHO, the above camera is the best you can buy for the money you want to spend. I doubt a Digital SLR is in your price range. Also, don't forget to watch Ebay....but BE CAREFUL! Or get out there and earn some more money to buy a bigger MP camera! You get what you pay for....hopefully!

I wonder why the name change to "Rescue Ops Battalion??? Also, that Firefighter/Medic thing makes me go hmmmm......... The FDNY*EMS system would likely need a major overhaul before they could even attempt something like that.

North Castle can spend $2.2 million to buy Armonks old firehouse (after they moved into a new $7 million firehouse) to make it into a rec center, yet they wont spend the money on neccesary renovation and improvments/upgrades for North White Plains? I don't understand this, do they forget that the south part of town is still theirs? This just goes as further proof to prove my case that fire and ems protection is on the low end of priorities for the new version of Westchester residents.

I'd think the Canon Digital Elph would work well for you. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id...02&type=product

I may have asked this already, but do the Fairchester Hose Haulers Association still exist?????

Anybody have any updates on this yet?

What a lineup! Great weather for a parade as well. Any appearance by the hometown "Firebike"?

Both Norwalk and Stamford Hospitals are L-2's as well. In addition to Danbury, some of the afformentioned hospitals here are closer to some Westchester communities than WMC.

So is RBFD running out of the new station yet? How do you guys like it?

Tonight at 9pm on Channel 4

The timeline of events of Sept. 11th, 2001. Kinda interesting. http://911timeline.net/

He really does have some really wacked out theories. Kind of interesting to read how some people view some events though.

I personally think people say it to just sound cool. There are no official defined trauma levels in Westchester, nor any system to determine where to take what patients to as there are in other areas outside Westchester. (Like the "Priority" system through C-Med in Conn) There are Trauma Center levels. Level 1 is usually your large regional university hospital, like Westchester Med, where the major trauma goes, Level II usually more like a larger community hospital, like Sound Shore where the less severe-moderate trauma can go, and your minor trauma Level III is basically anybody. Trauma center levels are based on things such as staffing, proximity to a highway, number of patients they can handle atf once, ICU aftercare, ED equipment, specialty care areas, etc. TRUE Trauma centers are accredited by the American Academy Of Surgeons, I beleive. Permission to be a trauma center must be granted by the State of NY.

Check it out! FDNY's NEW M.E.R.V.: http://www.campbellsupply.com/newDeliverie...fdny%20MERV.jpg It's HOT! 2004 Thomas Bus (Freightliner)/MedicMaster Photo from CampbellSupply.com Westchester DES should have one of these as well. It could also function as a rehab unit. Just convert an old Bee Line bus.

www.onthejobny.com Check it out....a new website featuring Westchester emergency service photographer Mike Messar's photography. Lots of Westchester action and apparatus shots from past and present.

Here: http://www.campbellsupply.com/newDeliverie...fdny%20MERV.jpg The above vehicle would be perfect for a county run rehab unit. They could just convert an old Bee-Line bus.

Geno's????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pat's is the ONLY way to go! Try it on your next hunt out there and you will see! It's right down the street! :caffine:

I totally agree with WA967. Rehab is an extremly important function, yet for the most part, overlooked. Rehab should be done by EMS personel on scene. For the most part anyways, EMS just stands there. The FF's should have other things do do than rehab, plus EMS more trained for a plan like this. The days of the Salvation Army Coffee Truck are long gone, or should be. IMO, the county should purchase 3 specially-equipped rehab trucks (one each for South, Central, and North) , similar to Los Angleles FD's Rehab 28, which even has a bathroom!

Looks like you guys lucked out, and got some good shots representing Philly's diverse fleet. So, as for the cheesesteak, which was it.......Pat's or Geno's? For the record, Pat's rocks!! Next time out to visit RadnorCo15, I'll have to make a stop. I love those cheesesteaks.
