I don't think that Chief Flynn hates volunteers necessarily.

I believe that he expects firefighters and fire departments to be responsible and accountable for their actions. I think he doesn't think that we should accept BS excuses why volunteer agencies shouldn't be held to high standard of professionalism. I think he believes that fire departments should have a certain degree of transparency to the citizens they protect. I think he believes that firefighters should be properly trained and equipped to do the job and should be willing to do ALL of the parts of their job, not just the glamorous parts.

And I think I agree.

lets join the yonkers volunteer FD,we can save tax payers money,how abt that ,

I was platooned to the South Station today. Fortunately, they had a public appearance event scheduled, so I was able to catch some of the trucks before they left.

Top to bottom:

MICU 87-6, safely hiding from the public,....

Engine 6-2 (along with its twin, Engine 6-1, they are due for replacement later this year with Spartan/Marion pumpers)

Rescue 6

Utility 6 (lettered Squad 6, but Chester County is now assigning the "Squad" label to rescue-pumpers)

replacement?they look new to me.

red flames with smoke,it looks,

did any one see spike there?

What makes you think this? They aren't "better trained" then anyone else, besides, the career members who have a ton of training would probably know a little more than the volunteers who know little, especially in that position...Dont ya think?

wow,

your right politics it is,henry was just as dick nagle was,but things happen when politics are involved,

ok so you say,but if i drive down rt 87 can i be pulled over by every police dept along side rt 87 lets say nyack tarrytown irvington greenburgh dobbsferry ardsly hastings elmsford yonkers heck lets get the mta out there thay have federal jurisdiction,thats whats going on out on the hudson ,and good old chuck schumer will take care of it,its a free for all out ther cmon guys,leave it to the wcpd and rcsd state and the coast gaurd ,this is what happens when every dept wants a boat and do a job thats being done good already,team work dont forget that,

The decisions of what patrol boats cover where aren't made by the public, they are made in collaboration with all of the agencies involved, including homeland security.

Yonkers does security checks on the bridge and assists the other PD's because contrary to what all of the complaining masses might think, all these jurisdictions don't have boats in the area all the time, the yonkers boat is always ready and close to respond. The state PD has a huge area to cover as does the county.

The issue that a handful of boaters have is that they don't want to be stopped for safety checks, not who is patrolling outside of their jurisdiction, i'm not really sure where you are getting your information but it's not correct.

Again you contradict your previous post of the more boats the better... I still just don't get your point.

The police boats are always manned and are on the river ready to go so they are able to get to scenes quicker in many cases than the local volunteer FD's.

ah not true ,dont egree on what boats are manned and times days ,nights,winter months,i have ben with fd marine unit atleast 24 yrs lets not go there.it is what it is ,doe.s ypd potrole rt 87 or the sawmill pkwy or crosscounty pkwy,? understanding jurisdictions is a must .assisting other pd or fd.s,yes i understand this happens alot of times.

The Yonkers Police Marine Unit gets called by multiple agenices to assist as far south as the GWB and as far north as well past the TZB, this includes doing security checks of both bridges. Yonkers gets requested by the NYPD if there are no NYPD launches in the hudson in northern manhattan and the bronx. Our boat gets requested by the coast guard constantly, by 60 control, county PD, etc... our boat is always manned and on the river so our guys can get to things quick. I don't understand most of your post, you seem to say that yonkers showing up near sleepy hollow was a bit out of the way but then you go on to say that the more boats you have, the safer and faster it is, so i'm not seeing the point ?

its way out of ypd jurisdiction ,why would yonkers cover the tee zee bridge when you have wcpd state pd and rockland county police and local fd,s this is the issues boaters are having all these police angencys with boats going and potroling out side ther areas,

nice , about time for the change looks good,

congrats to john cullen he will do a fine job and is a true firefighter both paid and volunteer ,he is what the county needs .wish him the best,

way to much police boats out there just trying to show numbers,wcpd does great job as well as rockland pd ,and all local fd,s work well together and all have a job to do ,but need to under stand each others job when dispachted to a call,i ben on fd calls by sleepyhollow and have had ypd on scene ,thats a bit out of the way ,and in winter months its left up to fd to respond to calls with the help of wcpd ,fd.s have a responce plan from 1 to 3 boat s dispachted most of time you get the mrong location people panic and dont no the exact location there at so this helps with the more boats we have its faster and safer its big and some times dark out there and it works out good .its like a needle in a haystack.60 control sent ossining pd to a jumper down one night.its all about responce time to save a life or some one in danger and in need of medical asst,thats the job we do ,its not a party invite;

is that ray rhodes on the left front,
