Its a Rockland County thing, for some reason if you have a 1000 gallon tank or more, you can call your truck a tanker.

My guess is it's all the negativity that goes on here, as a matter of fact my gut tells me to shut up and not even post this. Seems that no matter what is said here someone puts a spin on it that its wrong or a waste of time or money or should be done differently, it's just not worth all the negativity to start a conversation here and for that I feel bad, I always enjoyed this site and still check it several times a day just to find out there is nothing new. That's just my two cents, but I'm sure someone will say I'm wrong.

Hey guys here for an update-my father was responding to a full assignment on Monday when he suddenly collapsed. My brothers from WPFD used an AED to bring him back almost immediately. He went in for surgery yesterday and all went well. The doctors expect him to make a full recovery. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.

Maybe I need to drive a little bit faster to find out.

I was contacted back in August by a Movie Prop company about my Yellow Mack.
At first I really thought it was a prank.
The rep came up to look at the rig and he loved it. He took photos
and called me a couple days later saying they wanted to use the rig.
To my surprise I was also told that I was cast in the movie as an
extra and I would be driving the truck. COOL!
One to cross off the Bucket List! Drive a Fire Truck in a movie. lol
I really can't get into the actual scene due to legal reasons but Engine 626 has some camera time
and maybe myself included. Depends on how close up the shot is.



THANKS GUYS!

Trust me, people feel that it's ok to pull up to a marked car and talk and text so they aren't going to be on the lookout for unmarked cars.
These cars are purchased from the state contract and the prices to the PD are not as costly as it is to the general public.
Even if they are a few inches higher, they are patrol vehicles and will be used for other purposes, not just traffic enforcement. The NYSP is always obtaining new vehicles and these will just be a little higher.
The increased summons revenue will help pay for many of these vehicle.
Lastly, if this idea is one of the dumbest thing you've heard since being on this site then you obviously don't read some of the posts that carefully.

I am kind of surprised that in this day and age a government building would be constructed this way.
Meaning that based on the large overhang, could be an easy target and cause significant damage.

Here are a few photos of some of the apparatus at the show. I will be away for the weekend so here is just a sample until I get back...

My local BP station increased the price 40. cents over night.
When the dust settles, I will no longer be a customer and get my gas elswhere.

Certainly no expert in the New York Motor Vehicle Code but I've seen POVs of Hatzolah members with NYS tags that has "ambulance" stamped on them.
Web site of the Union County, NJ Hatzalah: http://www.hatzalahofunioncounty.org/
We have two large cemtaries in our area the cater to the Jewish faith, Floral Park and Washington. From Wikipedia; A Jewish cemetery in South Brunswick Township, New Jersey, where many prominent Hassidic Rabbis are buried, including Rabbi Shlomo Halberstam and Rabbi Naftali Halberstam of Bobov, Rabbi Samuel Hirsch Horowitz of Spinka, Rabbi Moses Josef Rubin of Cimpulung and Rabbi Yitzchok Issac Langner the Stretiner Rebbe of New York City. The cemetery contains many holocaust survivors including Gisella (Roth) Green, Irving (Israel) Green, Ruchma Lesser & sister Rivka Gutter, and many others from Poland, Hungary and Germany. One of the many societies represented is the first wodzislaw society.
Across the street from the Floral Park Cemetery is the Washington Cemetery. Washington Cemetery is a separate cemetery from the Floral Park Cemetery, but both are under the same management. Contrary to popular belief, many of the prominent Rabbis said to be buried in Floral Park Cemetery are actually buried in Washington Cemetery. Leiby Kletzky, 8, who was murdered and dismembered in Brooklyn was also buried here.

A important burial here brings out several thousand of people and burias take place 24 hours a day in keeping wit Jewish load. Hatzolahs usually send several ambulances to provide EMS. Little to no woman are involved or attend the burial and there are certainly no woman involved in Hatzolah. Any woman on our units are given the stink eye.
Remember the old Hebrew National Hot Dog commericals that ended "we answered to a higher authority" . Same thing can be said of Hatzolah

Being a jew myself I can speak freely. These individuals in almost EVERY aspect take advantage of the Earth. From the blatant violation of the sanctity of marriage to the flagrant misuse of the vehicle and traffic laws they just rape and pillage. I am so happy that I live in Putnam far from the filth that they call home in many towns in Orange and Rockland. I feel for all of you that must deal with these people with such a feel of entitlement. They use their supposed block voting to scare every single politician in to succumbing to their needs. We need someone with a set to just tell them to STFU get off welfare and stop playing games. All we need is a law stating that two people living together legally, and verified through surveillance, which I am sure we can get volunteers to do, shall not be the beneficiary of social services.

I am admitting compu-cluelessness and cannot figure out how to do this, and no I don't do pay-pal or any of that stuff. Can someone provide a real address where I can send a "GASP!" actual, written out, paper check?

How come there is no ladder company in front of the fire building?
