My personal favorite is Ardsley's firehouse, just because of the history/memories I have with it, and the history behind it. I think Armonk's new FH will go on my list when complete, and I saw Banksville's recently renovated new Qt's, which is also pretty nice. Hartsdale Station 1, Pound Ridge, Bedford Hills, Katonah, New Rochelle Station 3,Mohegan Hollowbrook are among MANY others on my list.

From www.detnews.com

On the front page of EMTBravo.com today is the new MVPD ESU Truck 3, which was aqquired surplus from NYC. Mount Vernon PD has several vehicles as does Yonkers that have been aqquired at a low cost as surplus, refurbished in house, and put to good use where it would have been unrealistic to buy a unit new. In the chat room the other night, this topic came up. It was said that if people were willing to take the time and effort, an old NYPD ESU Radio Patrol truck would make a great mini-rescue or brush truck. It was also stated (DG795) that Yorktown DPW has aqquired a former NYPD ESU truck as a DPW ESU. My question is, has any FD or EMS agency in Westchester considered or done this? I think it is a great low cost idea to supplement your fleet.

Does your department modify operations or equipment or do anything unique to operate in this weather?

Today (12/5/03) is my 1 year anniversary from my "retirment" from 60 Control..how time flies...........I found this interesting because on that date last year, we had a snowstorm as well. :D/

Thanks guys!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

As Rememer585 said and DG795 can elaborate, Yorktown FD also recently formed an Explorer/Junior Firefighter Program....Maybe you can "form an alliance" and drill together, and maybe some will be attracted or grow a greater respect for EMS/learn to work together better earlier.

From JEMS.com

JEMS did an article on this (earlier this year?) i remember now, still looking for the copy.....

Stamford EMS used to have a pilot program, and some units still have the cameras, but I don't think the program is still in effect...It wasnt really used much, it was hard to take a picture when you had a critical patient to take care of. If the supervisor was there, he would sometimes get the picture. I heard of an agency that uses digital pictures via either via PDA or cell phone and relays them to the hosp so they have an idea beforehand, I willl try and find the article.
