My opinion is that is is just plan UGLY!

Most likely they have 2 if not more alternators. One for just the 2 Q's at minimum

Well put...you have got to be kidding me!!! If my departments apparatus looked anything like those...I would where a brown bag over my head while riding them to calls. I am happy they use the money they have to make themselves and their trucks look pretty pathetic.

That is simply embarrassing. The four firefighters should not be punished for not following SOG's or whatever term they use. They should be put in jail! How can you respond to a reported structure fire that is reported by the home owner who is inside the home and not check the house when it appears there is no fire? How much time and energy does it take to get off the rig and take even one step inside the house? Don't call 911 in Dekalb county, especially if your house is on fire.

What exactly is the front wheel caught up on? It is hard to tell. I hope no one was hurt.

What a sad story. This just proves the importance of rig checks and taking equipment checks seriously. we are not the only one who can be hurt by our equipment. My heart felt condolences to the family.

Thanks for posting. Any pics taken by a member or not are well appreciated (by me at least!).

Agree 100% Well Put!

Thanks, I will spread the word around the house!

Awesome pics. Looked like a pretty good fire. Thanks for posting. Maybe someone should photo shop some eye protection in to the pic of the FF cutting the roof. HA

I understand that people have and are losing support for President Obama. However, he is the President and is not being threatened with impeachment. One possible reason for impeachment is that the Presidents behavior is grossly incompatible with the proper function and purpose of the office. If this was true he would be up for impeachment...he must be doing some things right or be "compatible" for the job. People will always have a difference of opinion. It is what makes forums exciting. IF we all agreed, there would not be much reason for forums.

My department has every member use the ESS goggles. I am unsure of the model #. I personal am not a fan. Unless the weather is right, the goggles fog up quickly. Often times it would be more beneficial to just work (extrication, saws, etc) with your eyes closed since you can not see through the goggles anyways. At least with your eyes closed you do not have bulky goggles pressed against your face.

Awesome looking rig! Does anyone know if anyone has purchased it?

Just out of curious, which Westchester FD's have either a FAST or RIT team. I know in Pleasantville we have a FAST team consisting of members from all of our companies. The equipment is kept on Rescue 47.

We have the team but it is not very active. Our current chiefs are working to change this. They are doing drills and members are taking FAST more often. It is a work in progress, but the county does recognize us as having a FAST team.

What departments have Dive or Scuba teams? I know that Mount Pleasant Police have a Dive Team.

We too have more than one engine (3 first due and 1 second due). Our FAST equipment is on the rescue because it has the extra room. It also gives us something to check for house duty!

Awesome looking rig. How long is this truck? It appears to be very long! Anyone have the actual specs?

Great looking car. I really like how the traffic Advisor is mounted inside of the car! Not many dept's do this and I think more should. Is there going to be a cabinet system installed in the trunk???

Great looking rig. I like the layout of the cabinets...appears to have plenty of room. Best of luck with it!

Based on his the fact that he won the job...I'd have to say that the majority of the country support him. If not...he probably would not be president.

Pleasantville FD - 300 Pleasantville VAC - 966

On 1-1-2010 at about 12:45 AM Pleasantville Ambulance was toned out for a call. On the initial page out the dispatcher said, "Pleasantville PD to the PVAC Duty Poop (quick correction to) Crew" This was simply hilarious. Good thing for repeaters...I can relive it for years to come.

I understand the panic and wanted to help/save your family members, however, people need to realize just how little time they are saving by "hauling a**" to scenes. I mean your talking seconds... Thoughts and prayers to the driver of the SUV and to the ambulance driver and his mother. May his father R.I.P.

Continue to get better. Ill see you when I am home from school. My thoughts and prayers out to his wife and two young children. Stay strong!
