PCR's Interaction with FD/PD Roadway Safety Communication with Hopsital Childbirth and Obstetrics Scope of Practice

The laddering stood out to me too. Great job by all departments working at the fire. Looks like it took a while to be put U/C due to the massive size of the house. I hope all went home safe and uninjured!

Congrats Millwood!

Pleasantville VAC voted at our meeting tonight to donate a check of $500 to the family. One behalf of PVAC, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

R.I.P. Brother. MY condolences to his family, friends, and fellow firefighters during this time of mourning.

It is simply amazing what people do!

Imagine a flaming duck running around your house! HA

Great pics, thanks for sharing. How many runs do they get a year. EMS? FD?

First off, I saw upstate and I assumed you meant upstate! (I'm away at school on St. Lawrence County...can't get more upstate!) Have you considered TransCare? They are a growing company. Majority of the employees I know enjoy working for TransCare.

Excellent post Lt.!

I believe it is up to the department. I know that there are department that allow 16 year olds to be senior members and interior firefighters.

Awesome pic. Looks like a great house.. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome looking rig. Great job by Pierce! I am also curious about why they chose doors and not roll-ups? Best of luck with the new rig!

Thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and fellow officers. May he rest in peace! "Only the good die young" - Billy Joel

Just curious. Is that a department snowmobile or is it one of the members personal snow mobiles? I'm glad everyone made it out safe!

Great photo EFDCAPT115! Makes me happy to be standing 6 ft. 5! I have a hydrant directly across from my driveway that I often shovel out. Sometimes in the winter I will keep a small shovel in my car and when I see a hydrant that is obstructed by snow and I'll shovel it. Plus, more open access to hydrants = less dogs (or humans) urinating on the sidewalk!

Great job by 60-Control. I am away at school but I listened to the storm both days on Scan 60 and Radioreference. Great job with handling the rush off calls.

Great looking rig. Interesting to see a Rescue without the large bumper. Where is the winch? Best of luck with it.

I heard on the street that the lady who had the heart attack was not the driver. Her husband was actually driving her to Phelps for work.

Reporters/Writer: PFDRes47cue *I did not have anything to write down times with so I only have agencies*

Thoughts and Prayers for the trooper and all others involved and their families. Have a speedy recovery! It is a shame that 95% of people in Westchester County do not know how to drive in the winter. I think everyone should have to spend a winter in upstate NY in the snow belt. You will learn real fast what you can and can't do.

Great job to the 60-Control dispatchers!

It has been brought to my attention that Briarcliff did get a bus on the road right after the call came in. Their other bus was out on another run. for some reason I was unable to edit this info in the IA so I figured I correct it here. MODERATOR NOTE: IA updated by jack10562 Thanks.

Hi, I posted the IA you are referring to. Just to clarify, I am not 100% sure if they transported in the PD Tahoe. It is my understanding that the tractor trailer was blocking the roadway and CPR was continued in the Tahoe. Not sure if transported was done with it, but I am pretty sure some was at least until they could intercept with the ambulance. Don't quote me on any of this though. From what I heard over the scanner, PD reported that a bus could not get to the patient and CPR was being continued in the back of the PD Tahoe. Once again don't quote me on that.
