I went up to Montour and took FBAA and PFI earlier this year. It's not that long of a course. I hope to advance eventually and go and take more classes in the future. I agree, that having an easily accessible team for these purposes is a good resource, and I don't like the idea of losing this resource, the people who staffed it, are still trained in Fire Investigation, and there are other members out in the community who are also trained. Worst case scenario, the usage of another area/regional team, or, the OFPC. If it appears to be, or is known to be a large scale, or suspected violent or criminal act, the OFPC is sure to get involved somehow anyway. Outside of the OFPC, I am sure that there are some DCSO and/or NYSP staff who have some training in this field as well. Does anyone out there know for sure, I am curious. Once a case is determined to be criminal in nature, there has to be a PD agency involved somewhere along the lines. I do though, certainly hope this issue gets resolved.

This new Ferarra Rescue will be replacing the Department's current Rescue, the 1991 Mack/Saulsbury Former FDNY Rescue 2. http://www.ferrarafire.com/CustomerSupport/InProduction/InProduction.html

Wait... was that... could it be... JFLYNN cracking a joke????? :o Jus' kiddin' Chief!

Beautiful, best of luck! I must inquire though, what is the red spire standing up in the last photo?

As far as the transparency issue, the Donation Tracker has been up and visible for a long time now, and no one here has ever had an issue with posting costs affiliated, and amount of income the site has raised, so I think we've already set a pretty good precedent that I don't think anyone can legitimately claim otherwise.

Probably just going too fast and hydroplaned.

This should be without saying. EMTBravo has never been a for-profit before, most of it out-of-pocket, why should people think different now? People should/could be given the choice, with different membership "packages".

$20/yr = $1.67/mo = $0.054/day $25/yr = $2.08/mo = $0.068/day Yes, I know some people are strapped for cash these days, but if you drank 1 soda every day, and redeemed it for the deposit, that could pay for membership.

:o :o

Tonight!!

And, not that it matters, but at least he is someone recognizable, and not just some yokel from ABCD Fire Dept with unknown level of training stating they are "qualified", passing by offering "help". Thumbs up DC Goldfeder!

Unfortunately, you can't un-say something, once you've said it.

:lol: Very true!

Officials: Moose remains elusive http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/article/20101005/NEWS01/10050324/Officials--Moose-remains-elusive (Photo courtesy of the City of Beacon Police Department)

So are you making a statement, or contradicting yourself??

Perfect example of keeping your eyes open... Earlier this week/last week, I heard on my scanner a PD unit get polled for, a suspicious person walking with what appeared to be a long gun (shotgun or rifle) either on, or near the Dutchess County Airport property. Shortly thereafter, DC911 updated responding units, after communications with the Airport Tower, this was an employee trying to keep deer off of/away from the runways. A little different from photographing aircraft, but someone saw something, and said something. I am just glad it turned out for the better.

And, if they are granted permission to board... isn't it yet again, lawful?

Ok......

Discussion regarding NFD from earlier this year, in regards to a proposed idea to do FD based EMS. http://www.emtbravo.net/index.php?showtopic=37162

The discussion of the NYPD Aviation Unit deploying its emergency skid-mounted flotation devices reminded me of another emergency safety feature slowly building it's way into many aircraft these days. Some light aircraft manufacturers have these as a standard on their aircraft. BRS - Ballistic Recovery System More videos, and testimonials from this system on the page below: http://www.brsparachutes.com/brs_aviation_home.aspx A real life example how this system undoubtedly saved the life of this pilot. Fast forward to 1:50.
