Well deserved promotion

New M2 for WCPD. Hope it serves them well. This one isn't the exact same thing as the 1st SAFE boat, but very similar. I believe this replaced one of the Whalers.
Seen here operating at a minor boat accident yesterday 5/4/13

maybe these ones will be a little clearer on the site

Not a problem. Not that many people go to their games anymore anyway.

There is no way that Rt.9 could handle that traffic

Everyone, thank you for your efforts, it is very much appreciated.
I found out that the responding police agency was Yorktown PD.
Again, thank you so much for your help.

PS My aunt is doing much better, she's awake and alert. Her color has returned and most of her vitals are good. She's still on a ventilator in the Trauma ICU, but she's definitely doing a lot better than she was yesterday.

Let me help you guys out alittle bit, when Sleepy Hollow when to start developing on the GM lot Tarrytown made a big stink that it would cause a massive increase in traffic and they went to court that was 2 years ago. Finally after the court decided it was crazy they threw the case out. Now they are dredging out the riverside to remove contaminated soil once the soil is removed building can start.

Wow, that's an odd one. I thought this was going to be an article from The Onion or something.

In a completely sarcastic note, I think I can amateur-diagnose a LOT of people with this condition.

I'm friends with him on facebook, I'll ask him. Didn't even think about that. Thanks
Edit: spoke to him, they're only doing Mamo as down county parades from what he knows of.

Due to budget issues in the city of Syracuse (NY), the city has been forced to close the firehouse for Engine Co. 7. The firehouse reportedly is in dire need of repairs and the city would rather close the house than to fix it.
Engine 7 and its mini-pumper is/was the busiest in the city and often responded 2nd, 3rd and RIT to structure fires.

Anarchy...

I think that too many people are jumping on the under armor band wagon. The stuff works great for sports and the like. The 100% will melt fabric is not for firefighting. People think that since it wicks away sweat when playing football it will work when in a burning building. I am sure it is comfortable but it will melt if things get real bad. People have to remember that in a normal kitchen fire or something that is not real big you maybe be fine, but go into a real high heat environment and the stuff will melt to your skin and cause a real burn.
I don't wear the stuff at work but it has been brought up as a idea. As mentioned they might have a FR line but i have never seen it. Just stick with the stuff that works.
