Pretty neat idea.
 
 

 
The FDNY used their new Drone for the first time during the recent 4th alarm fire in the Bronx.  According to the article the Drone provided a video feed of roof conditions to the Incident Commander which helped direct fire ground operations.

WOW. Hard to believe this is an EMS station! Looks to be designed well and give FDNY*EMS crews the home they deserve. And note that the only time FDNY EMS crews see the station is during shift change, since they are posted on street corners. They designed this primarily to be an architectural masterpiece. They found the money to pay for this, but not raises?

City Of White Plains will be replacing Tower Ladder 6, a 2001 American LaFrance Metropolitan/Smeal 85ft rear mount tower with a 2017 Spartan/Smeal 100' mid mount tower ladder later this year.

Here is a letter written to a local newspaper by the daughter of a firefighter. She tells how these firefighters, "Don't take Brotherhood lightly".

The Rye, as well as Port Chester area seems to have some serious issues when it comes to it's fire service.
 
The fire service is a High Priority no matter where it is. With manning and response times being high up on the list. When we add in the contributing factors such as todays, flimsy modern construction and highly flammable contents in these buildings, that becomes an even much bigger concern.
 
 I'm sure this is already being recognized by the insurance industry.

THANK YOU x635.
 
To the family and friends of Detective Steven McDonald my sincere condolences.
 
Your loss is shared by the entire country as this story is told. Detective McDonald as I see it is a Saint. His story of forgiveness and his suffering goes beyond what most of us would consider a Hero.
 
I can NOT imagine what it was like to be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of my life, and not be able to move my arms or hands ever again.
 
From the time he woke up in the morning, until the time he went to bed at night, he was at the mercy of someone being there to do it for him. Doing the simplest routine things he could NOT do. Like getting dressed in the morning, brushing his teeth, feeding himself, changing the channel on the television, scratching an itch, or holding his wifes hand. But despite that, Detective McDonald FORGAVE THE YOUTH THAT SHOT HIM.
 
 Detective McDonald needs to be remembered for this. While here on earth Detective McDonald did his job well. From his days as a New York City Police Officer, to his final days of confinement in his wheel chair. With no ability to fend for himself.
 
 I never met Detective McDonald. I sure wish I did though. He will be one individual that I will NEVER FORGET. I will remember him for the HERO he was. I will remember him for the suffering he went through and for the kind of man he was.
 
 THANK YOU Detective McDonald for the job you have done. May you now Rest in Peace.
 
 Here is his story.
