What is your idea of justice, if any? I would have to agree with you about the guy living with killing someone though. He obviously didn't want to kill the man, but ended up doing so.

In many parts of this country, that is definitely enough.

And what happens when you take that cone out, then possibly the PD car behind it(parked with no lights on, because it's in a closed lane), or end up in oncoming traffic, or rear-end one of the barrier-mover machines. There is so much happening at a toll plaza, including near-blinding lights, that it makes it very difficult to see what's on the other side, let alone the traffic pattern set up. This is what happens when you have an idea that breaks a law, and you can ultimately pay the price for it.

From a friend that spoke to thruway today, "I just spoke to the Thruway and this is what they told me. In practicality, when a fire department or ambulance service is responding to an emergency, SOP is to notify the Thruway as you know. When the Thruway is notified, they will waive the toll as you have stated. This letter that was given by the Thruway, as has been misinterpreted throughout the media and fire departments, is saying if in the rare case that there is an issue (like if EZ Pass has a malfunction), there is now a procedure where fire departments and ambulance services can follow to get reimbursed. THERE IS NO CHARGE and much appreciated if you spread that"

I live about 3/4 of the year in the Bronx... Don't get me wrong, I would love to work for Empress/Emergacare(as they are in the city), but at this time, I am happy with where I am.

I work at a transport in the city because of where I live, and its very flexible scheduling. Transports are what they are, but the people I work with are great.

Im glad ehow and yahoo answers are regarded by you as the pure truth. You really are something special, boy. And yes, I do work in a union shop too.

SECTMB, We could b**** and complain about the wasteful government spending day and night until we all are pushing up daisies, but the fact is that it isn't going to change. Like it was said above, if it keeps apparatus on the road, and brothers employed, do what you gotta do.

Seniorcare is still hiring full-time, Citywide just picked up a whole bunch of new people, but I don't belive they are hiring at this time, and the same goes for Lifeline.

Good on the PO for seeing him.

Making a Long Island FD look foolish for having stuff that costs WAY too much? Not the first, and definitely won't be the last!

I wish my company gave us pulse-ox machines.

Im sure they run with men. Some run with women too... Spellcheck man, jeez.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present my case. Job Security. That is all.

Give that lady a podium and have her read that on national television.

Damn. Rest in Peace sir.

Uhh, yeah, that's not real....

RIP Lt.

I was gonna mention this. It's terrible irony that we are talking about this and a cardiac incident took another brother from our ranks. Everybody be healthy.

Absolutely tragic. RIP brothers. We'll take it from here.

Unreal. Rest in peace.

Go to the 1:20 mark. Watched this, and immediately thought of that Armonk car fire video. ALWAYS WEAR YOUR PPE, because you just don't know what might happen next.
