OK let me shed some more light on this topic consider in living an that side of the county. Manlius currently has two stations and both are extremely cramped but do i agree with this project no they want to close the second station and rely on their head quarters which will increase response time and make them rely more on their dual responses with Fayetteville.

Verplank is getting a new rescue truck. Does anyone have anymore details?

highly doubt that they currently have a rescue pumper that serves the purpose

And they have less than 1/2 of the population of Westchester. (500,415 less)

Housing Units: 169,000 more housing units in Westchester

Land area is 340sq miles more in Onondaga (trees not people)

Persons per sq miles: almost 4x more density in Westchester.

This all means their system might not work so well here

this may be true, do we know what type of system PG county in maryland uses

What Westchester needs, is

A) A lot more dispatchers period

a Dispatcher assigned to each incident

C) a radio system where each incident is assigned a specific Tac or Ops channel i.e."60-Control to Smithville, 123 Main Street, Structure Fire, Utilize Tac 2 for fireground, Tac 3 for Tanker Ops"

D) a radio system where the dispatchers can hear the actual fire ground communications, for safety and logistical purposes

E) a radio system that doesn't have dead spots throughout the county, or dead spots 5' inside of a building

F) a radio system that everyone uses.... Fire, Police, EMS.

well it just so has it that onondaga county operates like this and it works fairly well

"BFD Golf Outing: September 11, 2015" I was under the impression that members of the fire service are either on duty or attending remembrance ceremonies on this day. For those who are unaware, (or have forgotten) on September 11th, 2001 the fire service lost more firefighters at one incident than ever in its history.

sir i assure you that we at buchanan engine have not forgotten in any way shape or form

yes i doesn't happen very often but it did

verplanck ems to scene in place of CCVAC

Buchanan and Verplanck fire can go in service

Listen joe as a member of buchanan we train alot and dont take more parades than we deem necessary this was no exception because when we got back we went straight back to our normal training schedule

Montrose also has a Ice water rescue team. 25 members trained and certified. 6 suits sled and capabilities to assist departments who are willing to learn.

i had a great time learning with montrose granted buchanan doesnt have the equipment but we can assist montrose at the scene

Perhaps David Lee Roth can be here partner...

now there is an idea

FROM THE VERPLANCK FIRE DEPARTMENT: IT IS WITH DEEP REGRET WE MUST ANNOUNCE THE PASSING OF GERALD DYCKMAN, EX-CHIEF, COMMISSIONER AND LIFE MEMBER OF THE VERPLANCK FIRE PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION. DEPARTMENTAL SERVICES WILL BE HELD ON THURSDAY DECEMBER 19TH AT 730 PM AT CORTLANDT FUNERAL HOME IN VERPLANCK. (please join us) VERPLANCK FD MEMBERS ARE ASKED TO MEET AT THE FIREHOUSE AT 7:00 PM (uniforms requested but not required). FUNERAL SERVICES WILL BE HELD ON FRIDAY DECEMBER 20TH AT 10 A.M. AT ASSUMPTION CHURCH IN PEEKSKILL. MEMBERS ARE REQUESTED TO MEET AT THE FIREHOUSE AT 830 A.M.

In Westchester, are fire levels pre programmed? If an incident commander requests a first alarm or a second alarm, does dispatch automatically know what and who to dispatch or does the IC ask for the apparatus and crews individually? Like if a IC requests a second alarm on the south side of Peekskill, does dispatch automatically send Buchanan, Montrose, Verplank to the scene, and have Continental village and Mohegan cover the city or does the Chief have to figure out what he wants?

it depends on the situation because buchanan with thier cascade is more commonly on the 1st alarm with mohegan as the fast team and others on s/b within the city

I can think of three incidents I've responded to where the municipal water system couldn't keep up - all in Peekskill. Hampton Oaks Apartments (1999?), Main Street shopping center (2005?) & more recently the Lakewood fire (2013).

chief i thought that was lakeveiw

I would like to point out that 60 control was dispatching departments for their FAST when in fact these departments never had one to begin with. Not sure how that happened but it did. Either way everyone did a good job and worked together great. It was honestly one of the smoothest jobs i've been to in sometime.

this is why departments should train with basic fast techniques to function as a fas team until one is on scene for example buchanan and motrose are doing had done something like this last year

id say its ossoning because it says catarct hose

Our county team trains with departments regularly, and is required for all Firefighter I courses when they go to the training center. They are also required to be present for all live fire excercises at the training center.

I will be planning a drill for them to attend with our department soon I hope, because not too many of our people are familiar with their techniques and what is expected of us as a department when they actually go to work on a scene.

yes but in westchester they dont train together as much as they should

your right ,and its not a terrible idea this should be done to better handle the situations that we call FAS Teams for

orange and rockland fire as well

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the proposals would:

—Further restrict assault weapons to define them by a single feature, such as a pistol grip. Current law requires two features.

—Make the unsafe storage of assault weapons a misdemeanor.

—Mandate a police registry of assault weapons.

—Establish a state registry for all private sales, with a background check done through a licensed dealer for a fee, excluding sales to immediate relatives.

—Require a therapist who believes a mental health patient made a credible threat to use a gun illegally to report the threat to a mental health director who would then have to report serious threats to the state Department of Criminal Justice Services. A patient's gun could be taken from him or her.

—Ban the Internet sale of assault weapons.

—Restrict ammunition magazines to seven bullets, from the current national standard of 10. Current owners of higher-capacity magazines would have a year to sell them out of state. An owner caught at home with eight or more bullets in a magazine could face a misdemeanor charge.

—Require that stolen guns be reported within 24 hours. Otherwise, the owner would face a possible misdemeanor.

—Increase sentences for gun crimes including for taking a gun on school property. The "Webster provision" would increase penalties for shooting first responders. Two firefighters were killed when shot by a person who set a fire in the western New York town of Webster last month. The crime would be punishable by life in prison without parole.

—Limit the state records law to protect handgun owners from being identified publicly. The provision would allow a handgun permit holder a means to maintain privacy under the Freedom of Information law.

—Require pistol permit holders or those who will be registered as owners of assault rifles to be recertifies at least every five years to make sure they are still legally able to own the guns.

im bot gonnan lie some things in the seem reasonable while others dont does anyone think we can come to a comprimse with this
