FYI, anyone interested in the NRS knife. It SHOULD be available at Eastern Mountain Sports in Scarsdale, give us a call first to double check and reserve it, 914-725-0024. Also, be aware that it is a blunt end knife (no point) so that it won't puncture inflatable watercraft.

I got a 90 and am 37th on the list. Meanwhile I know someone who got an 85 and was 336... so there seems to me not to be that many 95 and 100 scores but a lot of 90's and below.

Hell is too good for him... I have chills

This is a truly sad situation if the allegations turn out to be true. In my view, this kind of incident should change how we handle recruitment/ new membership to a point. Is the new guy who is interested in the department a little over eager? Does he seem like the kind of person who, once he realizes that there is a lot of "downtime" in the volunteer fire service (at least in my personal experience)will create a threat/ liability to himself, the department, and/or the public through this kind of incident or something similar? Just something I think we should be considering. Obviously, as it seems with the accused firefighter in this case, it isn't alway apparent, but there can be clues. Maybe it is something that we can start to keep an eye on and be aware of.

Just my 2cents

To kick-start National Volunteer Week 2011, this April 9th and 10th, the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York (FASNY) encourages your department to open its doors and introduce members of your community to the volunteer fire service.

Is the wheelbase as long as it looks in the third picture, or is it just the angle of the shot? (or maybe I'm delusional)

I'm going to preface this by saying I am not in any way a commanding officer. However, if I were to be, I am pretty certain the only time you would be hearing "expedite" from me would be for ConEd... although I think most of us know well that actually works the majority of the time.

Yellowbird should make a fine training rig for the FTC. It still pumps incredibly well, and drafts like nobody's business. It has actually been considered one of the stronger and better pumps in the department. So assuming it is properly maintained, the only issues are some minor body rot. Hope to see it put to good use.

Operations are now complete as all 33 miners and 6 rescue workers are up and out!

As many of you may know, next Saturday (Oct. 16) is the annual Rye Vs Harrison game. This game is often described as one of the top HS football rivalries in NY state. I encourage you all to come out to the RHS field and witness it for yourselves.

RIP Bruce, you will be missed

RIP Scott, we are all going to miss you greatly

Is there a date on this picture?

We had these idiots threaten to protest a student's funeral when I was in school. The best way to deal with them is to hold up sheets/ tarps so that those at the event can't see them, and stand there with an iPod or the like on full blast to drown out their hate speech. Any sort of physical retaliation and they will take you to court.

That's a sucky drive. Wow

Talked to one of the Guys from Pike. Said although the company is based in NC, he came up from Baltimore, hopefully this means a faster restoration to everyone without power.

A large number of utility trucks are currently staged in the Playland parking lot. Companies observed were from NC, MD, MI, IN, and MA. At least 50-75 trucks staged at this time with more coming and going.

Just my .02, but I liked it when you clicked on a topic and it took you to the first posting. Now when I click it takes me to the most recent, and I have to scroll back to the beginning. Is this something that I can change within my preferences, or is this something within the new programming?

Event Horizon

I think a good question is. How aware were the students of this Zero Tolerance Policy? (sorry if this was said already)

Lee County Sheriff’s Deputy James Anderson was killed in the line of duty Thursday after being run over by a vehicle during a traffic stop on Lee Road 240 in Smiths Station.

Just a curiosity thing. What is the overall height of Ladder 1 when the ladder is in the down and stored position?
