    Sorry photos aren't better but it was very overcast and the rig was sandwiched between a dump truck & Verona, NJ's new KME.

    Caught this photo of Pleasantville's new T/L 5 on Route 59 in Nyack this afternoon. Probably on the way to Ruscon. Will see if I can get some more photos !

    On November 19th @ aprox 2215 hours Radio HQ [44-Control] started transferring the first of many cellular 9-1-1 calls from an intox male that would only tell us he was at the McDonalds in Central Nyack. Luckily he was calling from a Wireless Phase 2 call and we could see that he was in that general vicinity. Our officers searched the area over and over and there was no one to be found. The male would keep calling back saying he could see the officers. We begged and pleaded with him to come out from wherever he was hiding but he wouldn't. Finally one of our officers saw a head peak out of the top of a dump truck parked around the corner from McDonalds. At 2241 hours just as I was getting out of work my fire department was requested to the scene with a ladder to assist in the removal. Nyack Ambulance & Medic 5 were also dispatched.
    Blame it on 4Loko !

    The Haverstraw Fire Department recently took delivery of their 2010 KME TDA. The KME replaces a 1969 Peter Pirsch TDA which recently failed it's ladder testing. The 1969 Pirsch replaced a 1937 Peter Pirsch TDA which is now privately owned by a member of the Haverstraw Fire Department. Here is a historic photo of all 3 tillers. Will post individual shots later in the week. Photos are viewable on my website.

    We have pictometry installed on our work computers. As a dispatcher, it definitely comes in handy. I have punched in my firehouse address to show you an example of what the images look like. You can select 4 different views. Here are all 4 views.




    Now from any of the aerials there are a lot of options you can do. Here are just a few.

    All 26 departments in Rockland will be attending plus outside companies as well. I will be photographing the parade. Haven't picked out a spot yet. Probably along the Rosman Road straightaway near Thiells Elementary School. If anyone else is planning on photographing it, send me a PM or e-mail.
