The majority of these building do care carry fire insurance on their buildings because the cost of the equipment inside of the building.

If I remember right there was a other multi-alarm at 64 Elliot Ave. in the early 90?

There is not a department here that as Infection Control Program in place?????

Being the Health and Safety Officer (HSO) for my department, I want to know who here has an Infection Control Program as Specified in NFPA 1581. What is in your Infection Control Program and does your department have a infection control Officer. What is the best way to start one in a Department?

This year I have been appointed Health and Safety Officer (HSO) for my department. Does anyone have advice for me?

How many calls did your department do in 2009?

I found a great video on youtube. It is the B.A. & Company Fire 1965. You can tell how much the fire service change over the years. And for the younger firefighters like myself respect for what this job means.

With it being Halloween what are some of your Favorite horror movies. I have to say it is Halloween. You have to love John Carpenter - Halloween Theme for the movie.

Rest in Peace Brother!! Condolences to his family & YFD.

West Harrison Fire Department

If people do not know the airport has a staging area which has a building to be use as a command post of the county airport. On MSN and Goggle maps the Staging is not build yet. It is near the New King St. entrance.

i'll be in East Fishkill on Wed and Thrus. I would like to talk to a few FAST TEAM Members.

Are there any volunteer fire Departments that require that department officers need to take any Building Code Enforcement?

Already have my CCT...but bring coffee and toothpicks. But I can thank you for posting your question as it reminds me that I have to find my in service hours to maintain my CCT cert. And with the way things are going the NY codes training division is down to its bare bones.

There is a way for Volunteers Firefighter gets the same training just like our career brothers. It may take us volunteer Firefighter longer to get The NYS Firefighter Certifications. Course like Basic Wildland Fire Suppression are almost never giving in Westchester. If the County gives us Volunteers firefighter Candidate Physical Ability Test of us to get our The NYS Firefighter Certifications. I would love to see more fire department officers and Chiefs push their firefighter to get The NYS Firefighter Certifications. I would like to see Fire Instructor tell their Firefighter 1 Students more about New York State Certifications.

“Getting to know you” series is a great idea to know what each department has on their apparatus. I believe that you need to know not only Apparatus and Special technical teams that available but what type of training that you’re neighboring department.

I know that the topic of safety officers have been talk about in this board be for. What Department separate there safety officers into Health & Safety Officer and Incident Safety Officers? What are the qualification that you’re Department in selection Health & Safety Officers and Incident Safety Officers? What is assignment of Health & Safety Officers in your Department?

The former Haz-Mat 1 possibly will replace White Plains current Squad 4.

does anyone ave any pics

I believe that if an aircraft went down were Rye Lake that is near the airport would be a bigger problem then if a plane went down in the Hudson. If a plane did go down were Rye Lake who is the fire district would that be and can they handle water rescue. If not how long would it take to get boats in the water?
