I think that, yes it does bring out strong feelings in some and could be controversial but I also feel it is a part of the fire departments history. If the department or company is against it, vote and change it then frame a badge to show the history of the company/department. This really is not aa huge deal and I think it could have been handled with a lot less commotion. I think I remember seeing something in Katonah's HQ while taking a training course there. If I remember correctly, it was a framed flag with a swastika on it. This is a piece of history , should it be taken down? I don't think people should necessarily take offense to it...it is a part of history, a bad part of history but history nonetheless.

Any other departments? Does anyone know the number of alarms transmitted each year by the street boxes? Pleasantville has a box on the front of the Washington Avenue firehouse...it works but has not been used in at least the last 5 years.

Awesome video! Amazing job by NRFD and all the other departments that worked the fire.

Just watched both episodes online. This show is awesome. I think it is just as good as Southland, which is on in about 40 minutes! It is fun to have to great law enforcement series going at once and on back-to-back days.

A thread about cameras was recently started about two months back. But, do you see any use for this in FD/EMS vehicles?

No front airbag for the driver? or did I miss it? I bet the most forwards passenger who went into flight, is sore today! Awesome video!!!

CO monitoring, heated enclosed environment (tent), who knows...

Nice job by both FDNY and FDMV! Two FDNY firefighter were also injured during a 3rd alarm fire in Queens yesterday. Hopefully all 8 FDNY firefighter are back to normal health quickly. Stay safe! Incident Alert

Perhaps he realized that the "amazing" DJ Henry screwed up big time. Or perhaps he realized that if he were a Police Officer and his life was being threatened, he would also use deadly force to defend himself. I personally would come and go quietly if I knew it was not worth defending and a case worth fighting for. But by making the trip he at least shows interest which is good for his image and public relations.

Anyone surprised???

They should have fixed spelling...rookie mistake! I like how it says "We will not stop until Mr Hess is held accountable for killing our beloved DJ." Shut up...your beloved DJ tried to use his car as a weapon and kill or injury our beloved cops (and good friends)! I understand that this is a hard time for the family and friends of DJ and his death is a tragedy since he is just a kid, but the family and friends of DJ need to move on...cops eliminate deadly force with deadly force. They will not just stand around while their lives or their fellow Officers lives are at risk. Instead of putting all blame on the cops, blame DJ and his terrible decision to drink and drive while not intoxicate but s***faced. Smart people make stupid decisions, but so do stupid people. From what I heard about DJ's grades...he is not the genius, his friends and family made him out to be. It is a shame that this all happened and that DJ's family lost a son, but now it is time to continue on with this nightmare journey and get to the end of it. RIP DJ...thankfully because you are doing so, our Police Officers are not.

This is great news and IMHO the right decision by the Grand Jury. Officer Hess is a great person and a great Police Officer. I have known him for several years now. It will be interesting to hear people responses to the Grand Jury's decision. The next couple of days will be filled with press releases...

Just out of curiosity, what was done in terms of rehab? Any rehab units assigned to the job?

Pleasantville FD is Friday, June 3rd. BE THERE!!!

That a real shame...I was given a lot of promotional cards a while back when they came around to local agencies to promote the different location. The promotional cards give give all "Civil Servants" 50% off all food purchases and no cover charge anytime you go and show the card which has unlimited uses. I have never gone anyways...and now don't plan to. Anyone want the cards?

Often times, "exterior" members are older members who have done the training who have fought the fires, who have put in the time, but now are older but still want to help out and be an active member.

Kind of looks like the new Camaro. I think the design will grow on me. The Dodge brand name won't though!

I do not think calling 10 or so departments to a fire means they are all needed. These are almost always clusterf****. Most of the time, the majority of personnel are just standing around. I feel that a lot of the time, departments are called when they are not needed and to many departments are invited to the get together.
