  1. firedude liked a post in a topic by JBE in NEW FDNY Fireboat Bravest   
    It's a 64 foot SAFEBoat, I liken it to a Coast Guard Rescue Boat on Roids. It's named the Bravest and will replace the Kevin Kane as Marine Company 6. The Kane will be kept as a spare.
    Not the greatest shots because of weather and where the boat is moored up. Pump Capacity is 6,000 GPM, the top Monitor is rated for 5,000 GPM. Top Speed of 46 Knots(Over 50 MPH)Enjoy!!
    With the Mc Kean and Firefighter behind it.

    We all respresent each other.
    We ALL represent EACH OTHER.
    WE ALL REPRESENT EACH OTHER.
    This simple line represents and perfectly sums up EVERYTHING we ALL do as EMS and ER healthcare providers.
    Say this line before every single shift you work. If you believe it, get to work! But if you don't, call out and consider submitting your resignation. Then consider another job because you won't be good at what you get paid to do and you will be eventually fired for being useless and ineffective.
    We all represent each other.
    If you love this job, you will be a perfect example of those of us who also love this job. You will make me look great and I thank you in advance for all of the gratiitude I'll get!
    But if you do badly because you don't love this job or do it for the wrong reasons, YOU MAKE ME AND ALL OF OF US WITH GOOD, ALTRUISTIC INTENTIONS, LOOK BAD. I will have to defend myself for YOUR lame actions and I will wish you ill in all kinds of ways. I'm harmless but Karma isn't. Never forget that and good luck with the fallout. I won't back you because you didn't back me.

    We already have a museum in Hudson NY; its located at the Firefighters home at the Hudson and although I've never seen it I'm told its a nice place to visit; its staffed mainly by the residents of the home. either way, trying to fund a start up museum at this time given the budget cuts and the state of the economy might not be to viable an idea.

    Very nice pictures. Brings back memories when I used to coach little league when my son played. I used to look forward to the kick-off parade. One of the few community events left in Amercia.

    Thanks for the comment Seth! Yes, both E193 and U39 have had their lighting upgraded to LED lights. The yellow license plate on 77A2 is the new, New York State license plate.
    Here is a video of the emergency apparatus at the parade. Still editing the whole parade video.

    The WPFD vollie's do absolutely nothing but take 1% of the 2% money the city gets. it's a disgrace to even call the vollie's since they do nothing. All the 2% money the city gets should go to the real firefighters of the city, they use that money for their eyeglass and dental, which is ran by the union, and every penny can be accounted for. the vollies throw parties which was investigated years ago by the reporter dispatch. I CANNOT SAY IT ENOUGH THEY ARE A DISGRACE.
    They provide NO SUPPORT, they do NOTHING, but rob money. To call them volunteer firefighters is a disgrace. They should be called a social club.
    on a day to day basis, not sure but i know one thing........ HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OF WHITE PLAINS
