  1. One was a'64 and the other '65. I was wondering if NYPD used that paint scheme in those years? I am not sure how accurate the cars are?
  2. Forgot this one:
  3. From last Wednesday's Bear Mt car show:
  4. Awseome pics! Thanks for showing them.
  5. In my experience there is no reason for you do doubt the accuracy of RadioReference. I am not aware of any major issues with their database. Also, if it still exists there was a simple database of frequencies on EMTBRAVO that would probably give you all the info you are looking for.
  6. Sorry the quality is kind of poor...
  7. Hey Cogs do the apparatus you operate have any "unusual" specifications because they are used in a war zone? Are they armored at all or carry any special equipment?

  11. For those of you who have been around long enough to know him, radio legend Pete Fornatale died earlier today at 66. He was a fixture at WNEW and also Fordham's WFUV up until his sudden illness. There aren't too many like him left. RIP Pete.

  20. If you're a fan of Star Trek keep watching tv because at this rate we'll never get anywhere CLOSE to that! Its more like Back to the Future!
  21. Don't these issues also have to be solved on the governmental and community level as well? Any major changes in a community's emergency services would have to be approved and voted on by assorted Town councils and people in the fire districts. And there is where the problem truly is because, of course, no one wants to give up what they have and would rather maintain the status quo.....t's pretty much fear of the unknown.

  23. Would like to see a pic of the car in the background behind the 1996 1st precint Caprice....looks like an older model Caprice?
  24. Does this law include HELP trucks as well?
  25. What kind of bizarre, twilight zone state of mind do you have to be in to do this kind of thing? The unbelievable part is that its not the first time its happened around here! Thoughts also go out to the Newburgh FD/PD responders who took part in the recovery effort. Not an easy thing to do especially when children are involved.
