So..........is this a discussion of RIT/FAST or Mohegan Lake personnel issues?

The best I have right now.

Did I miss something? Elmsford has a new addition on the back of Live Oak that now houses the ambulances?

From Wikipedia Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985)[1], was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that under the Fourth Amendment, when a law enforcement officer is pursuing a fleeing suspect, he or she may use deadly force only to prevent escape if the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others. I think this fits!

City Record published on 10/21/09 "TRUCK, FIRE, 100 FT. REARMOUNT AERIAL - Competitive Sealed Bids - PIN# 857900011 - AMT: $21,016,210.00 - TO: Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. 27855 James Chapel Road, P.O. Box 249, Holden, LA 70744" Does not say how many trucks you get for $21 mil.

And do we think the HAZMAT Unit should be the next thing assigned to a specific department?

Go back to the original question. "What would be a reason NOT to call a Quint a Quint? We call Tower Ladders Tower Ladders, Engine Engines, Rescues Rescues, etc etc." If you call for an engine, you get an engine. If you call for a ladder, you get a ladder, if you call for a tower ladder, etc. etc. Forget about numbering. Everybody seems to think the chiefs, volunteer and career, are idiots. They know what the surrounding departments have and what what type of apparatus they're getting. When Engine ___ (fill in the blank) is assigned, they know who they are. The question is ----- Is the designation "Quint" an appropriate designation. My opinion. Yes. "60 Control to Car _________. Quint 25 assigned as the Tower Ladder" "60 Control to _________. Quint 25 assigned as the Engine" Then it's up the the chief if he wants to utilize that equipment differently. Much in the same way a chief will "put the FAST Team to work" as an engine company, assuming they came with an engine, and request another FAST Team.

Check at WMC. They have a storage room downstairs that, the last time I was in it, must have 150 -200 backboards. Before the new ED was built you needed to go downstairs to get your boards if they were left more that a few days. I'll assume your boards aren't missing that long.

Only one I got of Mahopac Falls.

Croton Falls

Couple more

Some More.

Here are some I took.

THis PDF file gives the breakdown of PPE for wildfires. http://files.dnr.state.mn.us/forestry/wild...ctive_equip.pdf

A two minute Google search and I found 4 sites with stories about defib fires. http://cms.firehouse.com/web/online/Emerge...k/17$31652 http://www.esdjournal.com/static/ambulance/ctambulance.htm http://xo.typepad.com/blog/2004/01/defibrillator_s.html http://www.mdsr.ecri.org/summary/detail.aspx?doc_id=8128 It's not uncommon or un heard of.

EDIT: Okay, how in the world did you find that Library of Congress picture? Seems like an amazing resource and I'd be interested to see what else is stowed away in there in regards to local history. Google is a pretty handy tool. Just type in some key words and you'll find some interesting items.

The picture in this link indicates that the view is "Trace of Original Alignment" of the parkway. http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/displayPhoto...isplayProfile=0

I'm very certain Stiloski's paid for and put the writing on the truck.
