Yep sure do. I talked with 69-1 elect yesterday and he is going to Stanfordville to get the truck and trailer first thing in the AM. FDNY2817 is coming to give us a hand tomorrow too. The camera is fully charged and ready to go.

Yes it is cat hair, you are the one going bald brother not me~~~~

Tommy, I believe they are going to redesign them, any designers here to help with a new design???

You should only have one posted, whatever your current rank or title and if you have a job in the service that is ok too.

Rob, I got a navy sweatshirt, never saw the t's, can we go with maybe an ash grey shirt, something lighter in color, the cat hair shows up to much on the darker colors

No problem Joe you can come take a peek during the week, you did say you wanted the hose right???

A huge loss not only to the organizations he belonged to in his civilian life but to the men and woman serving our country there is now one less trauma surgeon to help them survive their injuires and get them back home, tragic to say the least.

Craig are you meeting us there and if so you must already know the location?

Maybe adding some administrative titles to the profile area, such as: commissioner, board of director, Fire Dept. President, Fire Dept Vice President, past chief instead of ex-chief (sounds better) just to name a few.

Joe that is something we DO NOT ALLOW, no exceptions!!!!

Must have had seen to much sun

Excellent thread, looks to be one of the most productive one since I have been visiting EMTBRAVO. This is what makes this site an excellent resource, so much knowledge and experience; a blend of career Chiefs and FF'ers willing to share their thoughts and knowledge with us Vollies in the samllest of small departments. We started issuing pager/portables to the membership a few years ago and it seems to work ok. As stated the biggest problem is that you may not bring it or it is not charged. Having them also on the apparatus as stated in the area of the handlight and SCBA is an great idea and a pretty basic concept. As far as JHK3605 point of being on the wrong channel, that can only be corrected with training. When is the last time there was a basic radio class in our area? As 585 stated the radio is a tool, just like any other tool you must be trained in it's use.

Put me down for two. Come on Joe you got the $$$$$, with your promotion to 36-2 you should be able to buy all of us in the valley one.

Rob, I love the idea of having an EMTBRAVO day at the firemans home in Hudson, great idea.

If it involves emergency services in Texas, then surely it is related to what we do in the NE, try just not reading those posts if YOU fell they do not apply to you, just my thoughts.

Come on Dan, you got three weeks, you can't manage a switch to attend the Copperfield's night???

A Bonham Fire Department Ambulance collided with a car at a rural intersection, killing all three people inside the sedan on Christmas day. According to the cops, the ambulance driver failed to see the Chevrolet Malibu before turning onto U.S. Highway 69. The car slammed into the ambulance, sending both vehicles off the road and leaving the ambulance on its side in a ditch. Killed were civilians Pamela Kay Touart, 59, and her twin sons, Cameron Wayne Boudreau and Kipp Leonard Boudreau, both 29. The 2 Firemedics in the ambulance were taken to a hospital and later released. Bonham Fire Chief Bill Palya says it did not appear the family wore seat belts. The ambulance was headed back to its station at the time of the accident. Leonard is located about 50 miles north of Dallas. as reported by the secretlist at firefighterclosecalls.com

ok here;s the latest, we are going to get her Sunday morning, weather looks ok, highs in the upper 50's. Hopefully she comes out of the lawn easy now that most of the snow is gone. I'll keep you posted. fdny2817 you're welcome to come out and give us a hand if you're not busy, or anyone that is interested, the more the better.

Exactly; we call them the built to burn models

Working the 4-12 "C" Tour @ Taconic DDSO Safety: Stay Safe Everyone!!!!

Interesting, this would be the case for the other towns they cover as well?????

Chief well said, those that have to justify the spending and resource management clearly understand the CORRECT thought process needed to actually understand the reasoning behind the delivery of an efficient and cost effective service to the community.

Chris either sleeping in or last minute shopping! We up here further in the sticks aid each other with manpower frequently, I live about 1 mile from the JHK house (six miles to my own) that is South of our Fire District and when home I ride or drive thier apparatus. We have members that live in the Northern part of our district that respond to assist Amenia with thier alarms and a few EMT's from Amenia actually have our pagers to assist us on day calls. We here in our area work together extremely well. The one thing that clearly needs approvement is the duplication of equipment. We and Amenia are in the same town and have over the years purchased some of the same equipment, that slowly is changing but with the harder economics times things this will surely needs to change. There has been some rumors or grumbling about making one fire district, keeping both houses but elimating some of the duplicated resources. As stated with the $$$ situation as it is it is more of a possibility than some might want to admit to.

Good job Joe.
