E22 is not a squad,it is an engine and acts as such. It has extra compartment space and equipment (primarily hazmat) to be used as needed. Station 2 is considered part of Squad 2 in the WCSOTF.

Don't know who this "Bottom of Da Hill" guy is but he has no idea what he is talking about when it comes to how YFD fights fires.
Just sayin that cause Sweeney didn't do anything to "change the way yonkers fought fires"

Open cabs were pretty funny if you thought about it, windshield with windshield wipers on both outside and inside, controls, radios getting soaked and in bad weather trying to look up information on maps and binders was impossible. Closed cabs put old timers in a snit when they had difficulty using mirrors Guys on the truck felt the enclosed cabs hindered their ability to quickly spot the aerial to position on the fire building. But if you had a lengthy job during a snow, you had to shovel out the cab to go back home. ( unless someone had the idea to cover with a tarp) Of course this design started to be phased out in the 60's when folks went totally nuts

How did he change the way Yonkers fights fire?

And a great shuffle board too..

Exactly.Why train people you aren't sure are even gunna show up.

So 702, a single axle rescue wagon, weighs more than 701, a tandem axle pumper tanker with 3000 gallons of water (25,000lb) on board????
I've got a title for a handsome old bridge that connects lower Manhatten to the Long Island that could be yours for......

Or they can continue to spend money on studies until they get the one they are looking for.

This study went quietly into the sunset and why you ask?... Maybe it's because it's not what somebody wanted to hear.

It seems we don't police our own anymore. This yrs ago was done by the Senior men but unfortunately the "so called" Senior guys of today don't feel that it's their Job anymore to reprimand the younger guys and new recruits or even show them the ropes. The Senior guys of today are no way in hell like those of yester year. Many are just as clueless whether it's dealing with an issue like this or even their knowledge of the Job! Many today can't teach the younger and newer recruits anything cause they're just as f****** ignorant and dumb!

That just shows that neither one of them have a effen clue as to whats going on in Mt.Vernon. Its just I will get you some money then its "HEY EVERYBODY LOOK WHAT I DID" and dont forget to vote.

I, along with 25 of my Brothers spent 2 days paying our respect to Lt Walsh and FF Kennedy. I have to tell you that there needs to be a class on proper etiquette taught to the younger generation of firefighters. I can't tell you how many members I saw carrying cases of beer on their shoulders walking the streets where our Brother was being celebrated. Guys just walking by the church with 24 on their shoulder. I don't really know if they were career or volley and don't really care who they are affiliated with but their actions disgusted me as well as other New Rochelle Firefighters. If you want to have a few beers between the service and the last drive past the sea of blue please go to a bar. If you want to tailgate and party in front of the civilians like morons please go to a football or baseball game. In front of the church and on peoples lawns is not the place!!!!

Sadly, it appears another new "trend" is coming out of our technology boom. It appears that a funeral is now becoming a "look at me event". Reportedly, many uniformed firefighters were taking cellphone pics throughout the processional and such. Many don't seem to understand that taking pictures for their Facebook page makes a solemn day of remembrance appear to be about the wrong people. What could and should be a large silent presence to honor the fallen and show the family, FD and community that we are one in brotherhood appears to be just another excuse to get out of town a drink and show off their hero costumes. Disgraceful. Too bad only those of us on the inside readily see the difference between those in uniform and those in hero costumes.

Mt.Vernons union president clearly stated on news 12 that they agree with Yonkers union that Mt Vernon abuses the mutual aid system regularly. He also said as long as neighboring depts continue to send units into Mt Vernon why would they hire?
