The locations of trash pumps had nothing to do with flood prone areas, I think it was luck of the draw. For instance 67 Engine has one in Manhattan, at the almost highest elevation in NYC, go figure!

If it was one floor up it would have been 3 funerals. You don't even want to know what mom's chief complaint was, and it wasn't about her kids the animal. Lt Bedard aka Bedude is from 38 Truck in the Bronx, great dude.

Perp was white, no one gives a crap.

I think they were granted an extension for VHF till 2016. Although the power is now down to about only 100 or 50 watts.

Now you can join blue line for 1000 for 3 years!!!!

Uniformed officer ALWAYS has control. If you were ever a cop or knew how it works that is the first level of authority, PRESENCE! Leaking this video is going to do NOTHING for this officer who is in a state that fires people at will.

DOI should be doing it. But then again it is the Post and that Susan Edelman is just doing what she always does, and that is writing garbage to sell papers.

A judge does not need to sign a subpoena, if you do not answer it you then can face a judge. The FDNY has unique powers of subpoena, they are defined in the City rules.

And the guys sending me PM's are all wrong and delusional like you? I am sure. I am just not in to the pussification of the fire service and the BS hand holding. So you can contribute with your cheerleading and I will be the parent in the stand saying you suck Ref! Ill be the one keeping it real, you'll be the other guy.

Get the guys that b**** you don't have a stupid vest over bunker gear to become more concerned with the guy that is 100lbs overweight trying to advance a hand line!

This wasn't overlooked by the apparatus committee, this rig was designed to go to a different firehouse with a solid floor. The new administration has other plans for it...

Brevator rig was the last screw up wasn't it? Back in 97? I remember seeing that brand new rig parked out front numerous times.

What is even more entertaining is this banter you provide. Those I have spoken to in Millwood laughed when i mentioned your name. They also couldn't understand why you would refer to yourself as an ex-captain, another made up fantasy land title.

Not the first time they have had a problem with a rig and a firehouse.

Yeah happy because of the overtime they create!

It is BS because you never were deserving of the title, except the one you were given by a popularity election. And your lack of reading comprehension must make you fit right in down there.

Your blatant ignorance is what made you think it was a bash at volunteers. When many of us are at work we don't have the leisure of logging on to a website to answer some idiot on a computer. I volunteer as well, I volunteer with many many many great aggressive people. If someone asked them what they did for a living and they responded I am a firefighter I would always ask where did you get hired. Too many people use the title with out earning it. I sat in an academy for 14 weeks breaking my a$$ for my title. I didn't apply for a job at the town hall and get hired because I took FF 1 and 2 which has no comparison to the required amount of training for a professional firefighter.

How is that answer? Not that I felt I needed to answer some guy who feels the title of ex-captain is deserving of anything and I always see the lic plates and laugh.

What is a firefighter when you are employed as one? You complete a CPAT for one, you take a civil service exam. Unless of course you forgot the rural metro BS back in the 90's. When you die, your family gets paid. You have benefits that have been awarded. The list could go on and on. In NYS sitting in a firehouse for 11 bucks an hour and driving the rig because the dept can not get anyone to respond is not doing a damn thing for anyone but getting 500 gallons of water somewhere. How is that? Sorry to keep you waiting, but real firefighters work nights and weekends too!

The same way guys in Long Island refer to themselves as firefighters when they are not. It is a civil service title. Some places in the country have firefighters represented by the Teamsters. The IAFF is not looking to turn away members who will provide more money. I only wish i didn't have to contribute to it.

So they are not firefighters.

I don't ever recall seeing a civil service posting for firefighter in Albany County.

Its a billion(s) dollar company. They aren't paying taxes like Pepsi in Somers.

The amount of commercial property in Yorktown should dictate a paid driver at least. IBM alone should pay for the firehouse.

I have been running a calculated risk since I was able to make a conscious decision. If you think 12 guys who sit on a board that meets once every few years is in touch with reality you are sorely mistaken.

You could attempt to critique this video but it would be easier to just call it a failure. If anything its likely to end up in the benny hill hall of fame clip section of youtube. I can hear the music now, it plays every time they call from work!

You grab the door knob and close it Tom, is that basic enough? Have no idea why you would even try to defend this lack of everything. Least the guy driving got the rig there safetly.

It takes 20 seconds at most to remove a hose coupling, 40 if you change the nozzle. This guy walked around for a good minute 15 doing nothing. I personally have extinguished a basement fire alone, dragged 150 ft of preconnected line, one guy pumping water, me extinguishing. Not safe, but my neighbors house is still standing. This is a gross example of a lack of either fortitude or training.
