fire 1 asst chief

The PBA had to buy the car for $3,000?  Why couldn't the City of White Plains donate it?
Oh yes must not forget  this is the CITY OF WHITE PLAINS.

Hats off to the "whistle blower" who leaked the e-mails to channel 12 news.
Let's hope Kelly sues for $20 million dollars and wins.

Ever since Joe Macellaro Sr. retired and then unfortunately passed away the Little Spot has been on a steady decline.  Joe Jr. has been involved with many business ventures over the years all ending in failure. 

This weekend, our "Blast From The Past" features Bedford Hills Mini-Attack 9, which went through a major refurbishment in 2004.
 
Special thanks to Cutty 630 and Hooks057 for the photos and info.

Thanks Seth,
Hope you are doing well.

WCPD took all of the Town of Ossining's officers including the chief who was made a captain.
If the County looses the contract then they should no longer need the personnel they hired from the Town of Ossining.
In theory these people should be laid off.

Great pix thanx.

Check with Westchester County personnel dep't for any upcoming fire fighter test that covers paid dep'ts in the towns and villages.
The cities of Mt. Vernon, Yonkers, White Plains hold their own test. Chances of getting hired in one of these cities are slim to none unless you are a resident.

After just reading the history of the White Plains FD up to 1955 I would say PJM1733 is pretty much on target.
Station 7 being the last new fire station to be built was most likely just assigned that number to be in chronological order.

White Plains had 2 mid mounts back in the day. One was a 100' that ran out of headquarters.
The other was a 85' that ran out of old station 2 on Hamilton Ave. When the tiller was purchased around 1956 (57) the 85' was reassigned to Sta. 7 on North St. I think they both eventually found their way to Hartsdale.

The 85' that went to station 7 didn't replace another ladder, when the station opened in the mid 50s it was a single engine house perhaps by design since the apparatus floor is narrow for two rigs.

The instructor is Lt. Fred Simone he passed away a couple of years ago.

Yes they did, a Sunday afternoon If I remember correctly. Some banged up sheet metal, thankfully no injuries.

Three tillers @ the same time interesting question.
Truck 2 Station two was a tiller, 1957 LaFrance, It was replaced by a Maxim tiller and was sent to Sta. 7 so that accounts for two @ the same time. Truck 1 at Hq was replaced with a Maxim tiller also in the early '70s so I guess there was a time that WP ran all tillers.

At the time of the closure of Sta. 5 the City of White Plains was in the last (I believe) phase of the New York state mandated reduction in the work week from 56 to 40 hours. True to the practice of running short staffed the city closed Sta. 5 rather than hire the additional manpower needed to accommodate the hour reduction. It then spread the troops around to the other fire stations. As Paul Harvey was fond of saying "that is the rest of the story".

Yes the Seagrave was replaced by old Eng. 6 (70) ALF when the first Maxim was placed in service. The ALF had a 500 gallon tank and a 1,000 GPM pump which came in handy fighting fires at the Gedney Way land fill caused by hot ashes that were dumped there from the incinerator.
