they are having trouble with water pressure in the mains, n calling in tankers for standby

ya thas me buddy thanx, all the shots look good though, nice job

ya those shots look good, ya there you go being the star, i was there i jst somehow didnt end up in the phots, oh well, the towerladder does look nice

i am not positive but didnt eastchester just buy an engine from fairview or something to use for the replacement of E29. i may be wrong i dont know details

first off wow, there is a lot of talk goin on in here, especially from people that are not from any of the departments that respond to the airport, the same dispatch goes to the airport at anytime for even if any plane has just a warning light on the control panel, i am not goin to speak for purchase or armonk who are the other depts dispatched 1st due on the airport but as for pc we send the same assignment all the time and we dont deplete our department of our resources or man power we still leave plenty of apparatus and manpower behind to handle any of our own calls, if DES or the airport thought there was a reason to make changes in the response then they would def be the people to make those decisions being they prob know a hell of a lot more then anybody in any of the surrounding depts which is why they are in charge. as far as knowing what to do or where to go and all that, thats why the depts involved in the response do staging drills and so on, so we know where to go when we get there and we will wait furhter instruction either when you arrive or over the fire ops channel, when you arrive your job may be to just sit there or you may get returned enroute, if you find that that is a waste of your time or sources then dont get on the rig or dont respond to the call. i am sure if you look in the preplan if there were to be some major incidnet 2nd,3rd,4th due and so on, maybe your dept or like someone said white plains may be involved. why not stick with the better safe then sorry, its true, you can be responding to the airport for the same thing light on the dash again damn, then all the sudden that plane crashes, and its chaos fires, injuries, extrications, plane parts all over the place, people in the woods bodies and so on, the point is you never know, it could be just the small 1 or 2 passenger plane that crashes in the trees now you need the manpower and personel to do a search for that person everybody can criticize all they want if you really think some of these changes should be made and they bother you personally then you should do whatever you can to make your words heard maybe try to be one involved in the decisions made by DES and others involved paid to make these decisions this is just my opinion i am not jumping on anyone or pointing fingers or singaling anybody out individually.
