Happy Birthday Bro........

Happy Birthday Bro........

Dr Xie was a great guy, very funny doctor who loved being in the US.
Also he was not hit by his own vehicle, he was hit by a on-coming vehicle.

I know......

I know......

This is how I feel about them......

One of Pleasant Valley's Bravest has the same stash....... Professional Firefighter #305.

On Friday June 10th a 1950 boat sank in the Hudson River near Waryas Park. One victim was pulled form the water by City of Poughkeepsie Police Officer Brian Turner and city firefighter Ronald Holder.
There was mutliple agencies assisting
Dive teams from the Hughsonville Fire Company, Dutchess Couinty Sheriff's office,the Ulster County Sheriff's Office, and the Coast Guard.
UPDATE: At 17:12 Sunday evening the Dutchess County Sheriff's office had discovered the body approximately 300 feet offshore at the end of main street. The Boat has still yet to be recovered.

Please excuse my photos as I just bought a new camera and am still waiting for Photounit to help me out.....

The Dutchess County ESU as well as other agencies were activated yesterday after a 62 year old female reportedly pointed a gun at a deputy and then barricaded herself in a residence on Morris Drive in Hyde Park. Police were serving a eviction notice.
The Hyde Park standoff ended peacefully after 5.5 hours. Well as peacefull as possible.
The gun was a bb gun, as we all know a gun is a gun and she is very lucky that she was not injured or killed.
Good job to all involved......

I was the one who posted the Incident Alert about this last night. I had been listening to the scanner on and off, but was only getting bits and pieces. I knew there was a water rescue of some sort, that was about it. Later on i heard that it was for a vehicle in the water.
As i drove to work this morning, i heard the horrific news on the radio. I was stunned and literally sick to my stomach.
I cant say much more that hasn't already been said. JBE hit the nail on the head as many others have.
All i can say is that my heart goes out to those poor children and to the sole survivor. He is 10 years old, old enough to know what he saw and went through. As JBE stated, there will be a special place in hell for the "mother."
Also, im glad to see that soo many of you have included the emergency service members who were involved in this incident. This is one of those calls that you could never prepare for and will never be forgotten. My thoughts go out to those Fire, Police and EMS members who were involved.

But before she did it kicked her 10 year old son out & told him to get help! Sorry but WTF?

I agree JBE. As a father, this actually makes my stomach churn in a real bad way.
God bless those kids.

I am going to attempt to keep my calm on this one, but how selfish, and cowardly do you have to be to do something like this to three innocent children??? I believe in heaven and hell, and there is a special place in hell for Mommy Dearest and a special place in heaven for those poor kids. The mother should have just walked over to the freight line along the water, and taken her own miserable life.

Good question, most schools that is the minimal requirement...... She Says " I ran over and got Eric". So what would have happened if Eric was not there????

A Winston Salem Firefighter eating lunch with his 10 year old son jumped to the aid of a 9 year old boy choking at the school next door to the firehouse. Administering the Heimlich and ultimately savings the boys life. Awesome job, check out the video.

I wonder if Mobile Life and the City went with the original RFP?
That was a pretty tough and costly RFP to meet. Does anyone know the stipulations of the contract?
