Only been 2 months, I would expect another couple weeks, to another month, unless anyone else has heard anything different.

Rhinebeck 2nd Alarm, Hillside, Red Hook, and NDP Mutual Aid

God forbid anyone mention MERGERS, everyone wants their own piece of the pie... Sound familiar???

You should clarify. If definitely a Liberty, you are looking for LED (older LFL bars started as strobes). Also, is it Ballast or Passive, makes a big difference on LEDs.

Castle Point is, in fact Federal hire, separate from the County test. It is "residency preferred". Residency in the department area, not just in the County. Most departments will attempt to exhaust their residency lists before going to the County list. This past list several departments did make it past residency to the County list.

As it stands right now, only 3 1/2 Counties in NYS are NOT under a Winter Storm Warning: Easter Ulster, Dutchess, Westchester and Rockland.

So many advantages... SO many disadvantages and possibilities for pranks and missing information.

I am going down to LI with another Task Force from Dutchess County at 0600 tomorrow

NY Code - Section 209-E: Fire mobilization and mutual aid plan http://codes.lp.find...de/GMU/10/209-e NYS Mutual Aid Mobilization Request gets made for specific items (i.e. swiftwater team, engines for fire standby, utilities with pumps for pumpouts, fire police teams etc...) from the areas affected, it goes through NYSDHS/OFPC/OEM, who then reaches out to specific areas for those items/manpower. The County Coordinator then reaches out to departments that typically have the manpower and equipment. It is then on the department to decide who is qualified based on their standards. 3 agencies from Dutchess Co went down earlier today, Amenia, Fairview and Hughsonville. This is in addition to Arlington and LaGrange the other day BEFORE the storm hit, with Swiftwater teams and gear.

Gov. Cuomo Issues State of Emergency for all of NYS. http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/dailypolitics/2012/10/breaking-news-gov-cuomo-declares-state-of-emergency-for-new-yorks-62-counties http://www.nyalert.gov/ http://www.dhses.ny.gov/

Its not hype!! Dynamic models are subject to change! It is those who freak out who create they hype!!

Sounds about right! Same with the rest of the ENTIRE Hudson Valley!!

Haha, ya never know.

There is no definitive answer. These are all models, and the "best guess" that this hits the area is late Monday/Early Tuesday, as many people have already posted in here. I believe these posts are all referring to "landfall" of this storm, however remember the storm is bigger than just the center and will cover most of the Northeast US. This is a large storm and I expect large amounts of rain over a period of time.

Just one of several models, this one from NOAA. I get most of my updates from a great local source: https://www.facebook.com/HVWX1

Another selfless act by our First Responders! Putting his own safety aside to rush to the aid of someone at their darkest moment. I hope after debriefing and any counseling he realizes that he did everything in his power, more than the average person, for this man, and should be proud of his actions!!

And IIRC, the USA had their own memorial during Opening Ceremonies to the 2002 Winter Olympics, but of course NBC was sure to show THAT! I think its disgraceful as well as all the stupid useless banter the announcers made during the Opening Ceremonies for these games. I would prefer to WATCH and LISTEN to what is going on instead of Matt Lauer, Bob Costas and Meredith Vieyra's mindless scripted commentary! http://www.examiner.com/article/nbc-commentary-of-the-london-olympics-opening-ceremony-deemed-offensive http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-olympic-tv-review-20120729,0,4655337.story
