R1SmokeEater

For those who were patiently waiting on the out of stock sizes, a new order is now in and available.

Thank You again !!

It is a special response which is used during Storms, emergencies etc. Engine, Ladder and Battalion to automatic alarms. Any additional information pointing to smoke etc. gets the box filled out...

A Modified response. The night of the Blizzard, 400 Park Ave came in as an activated alarm, then was filled out due to further info, turned out to be a small 10-29. You never know !!

Good job to the powers that be, for pre-planning and manning the necessary apparatus for a storm as this one.

Apologies to those who contacted me, and I'm late in getting back - Sorry, had a busy couple of weeks getting everything ready for the past Fundraiser......

I have shirts left, depending on size and color, for those still interested. Thank You.

Another overlooked note to this story, from Lowell is:

Ladder-4, Engine-4 and Rescue-1 were all shut down the night tour of the fire, half of the normal first alarm assignment.

I'm willing to bet the Fellas could'a used the "extra" hands.............!!!!!!

Passing along>

Many reports now confirming 2 Fire Fighters dead in Bridgeport as a result of fire this afternoon.

Two Bridgeport firefighters killed in the line of duty this afternoon, reports mayor's secretary Elaine Ficcara RT @WFSBnews

I'm just wondering..... Can Snooze-12 get a story right ? There have been TWO companies CLOSED so far !!! Not One, and one relocated, as they keep saying, that's misleading. Ladder-70: CLOSED. Engine-308:CLOSED. What crack reporters.............

Engine-308 closed 0800 7/9/10......... :angry:

Posted On: Jul 07, 2010 (10:51:23)

The City of Yonkers is planning to close the "Second Fire House" in the past week, along with the 36 firefighters who have already been laid off, and 34 who were demoted, further jeopordizing the safety of the Citizens of Yonkers, as well as the Firefighters...............

Is this the 1st prepiped ladder pipe for a YFD rearmount or do they have others?

First.

We tested it with 7.5 mm and 8 mm Aramid/Nylon Sterling Rope W/Crosby hook attached. The CMC EA just did not work well at all. How is Capt Dunn?
