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

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. Here is my go-to source! https://www.facebook.com/HVWX1 Please use this thread for all discussions. There is no need to copy and paste EVERY NWS update word for word. Please use this to discuss all events, and IMPORTANT SAFETY issues, and PLEASE do NOT flood the Shoutbox with Weather related posts, that's what this thread is for. Thank you!

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.

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

Membership, Over the years, EMTBravo IA's have provided a great look into active incidents. Many dedicated members took their time to listen to radio traffic and document activities that occurred where some members did not have the ability to otherwise hear. Recently, many websites have given people across the globe the ability to listen to incidents live (obviously with some delay). While we have seen an increase in the QUANTITY of IA postings, the overall QUALITY has deteriorated. There are still many IA Writers who do produce very high quality IA's. Unfortunately with the loss of Truck4, who was the IA guru, not much attention has been paid to this section since his departure. Many members now use outside sources (media releases, other forums etc...) to compile their information and create an IA in our forums. The general discussion amongst the Staff has come down with some alterations to, and reinforcements of existing Site Rules. 1) IA's are now no longer permitted to be posted if the incident occurred 24+ hours ago. Extenuating Circumstances do apply (i.e. you were on scene and could not post while at work etc...). Long-term/Ongoing incidents do not apply, as they are still active. The whole point of an IA is an Incident ALERT. Posting incidents from greater than 24 hours no longer constitutes as an Alert, and should be posted in the appropriate Local Forum. Whenever an IA is created, it then creates a link in the Shoutbox. Older incidents that are long since cleared then clog up the Shoutbox. 2) No use of outside sources for the sole purpose of creating an IA. People using Internet News Articles as their sole source for an IA defeats the purpose. Those type of postings should be made in the appropriate Local Forum. Including a link to a media article, or other source shall remain acceptable, so long as it is not the sole source of your information. **Reminder** Only CONFIRMED Incidents are to be posted as an IA. As with all other existing Site Policies, EMTBravo Staff retain the right to alter the rules at any point without notice. It is the job of the Membership to stay on top of Site Rules and Policies. We are happy to entertain constructive suggestions at any point as we strive to improve the quality of this site!

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!!
