the thruways purpose is to keep traffic moving and keep the road open in a some what safe manner the chief made a good call i think safety comes first the thruway does have a job to do and i respect them as well

reports call for ice thursday morning and ice for friday dosent look like any snow will fall. it can snow and ice all it wants more overtime for snowplowing and sanding.

let it snow all it wants more overtime for snow plowing

very nice rig and a simple answer to preventing projectiles from flying around the cab is to drive safely and respect traffic signals

wow that sucks probably was a nice car do you know who the car belonged to?

pretty nice rig looks like the cab has more room in it compared to previous models

it looks thin but i like how it weighs and holds more air than a typical scba. im sure they will make many more changes before releasing it.

the bottom line is that young children should not be handling guns and gun safety should be taken more seriously

why have a source pumper when its all on one truck and yes you can only dump one side at a time but is good because you dont have to back up to a pool and dump just pull along side it

for water drops i know the national guard does it because they handled the forest fire near the hudson that happened a few years back and all units cleared around midnight. We built a fire line around the area and wet down the hot spots. kent responded with 16-6-1 and 16-3-1

sorry to hear this RIP

nice pictures looks like they brought out all of the special toys to this event

very nice setup nice to see departments using fords over chevys

what do you think is the best type of lightbar/emergency lighting?

Ex: led, rotator, strobe, flasher, whelen, code 3, street hawk, federal signal etc.

personally I like the led it is a very visible and powerful light source

Daimler closing Sterling plants and moving Freightliner to Mexico

Will this change department preference

this is BS every business is going to mexico another way to help the failing economy in the us

wood is way better its cheaper and more sturdy than plastic and easy to replace

ok thanks

what is good about the truck is that it dumps fast and can be dumped from 3 sides of the truck and it has a powerful pump to reduce fill time

does anyone know what frequencies they are dispatched on and what tac frequencies they may use?

very nice gun i believe they had this on the discovery channel show future weapons

i just hope they catch the guy soon

For all you Sterling Fans,

QUOTEDaimler to drop Sterling truck brand

1 day ago

BERLIN (AP) — Daimler AG said Tuesday that its North American truck division will drop its Sterling brand and end truck production at two plants in the U.S. and Canada by mid-2010 as it moves to deal with depressed demand.

Daimler Trucks North America will discontinue the Sterling Trucks brand next March, but will make additions to its Freightliner and Western Star ranges to cover market segments that the brand has served, the Stuttgart-based parent company said in a statement.
