  3. Home Depot had a shipment yesterday of roof rakes.I just happened upon them when they were putting them out.I think they sold out in 20 min. .Maybe that eye in the sky for the county could give a heads up on some massive roofs that might need some attention.
  4. And who's to say if heart or cancer benefits could be contested ?
  5. I don't know about Jeter but I hear Pettitte is available.
  6. You know Frank,if we give him a landing pad,maybe he'll stop buzzing over sw yonkers all day.
  7. Then term "expedite" doesn't necessarily deal with response alone.It also can be termed to dispatch when ever another entity (whose response might not be as efficient) is needed on scene.If only to make it clear to their dispatch that time is of the essence.One scenario that comes to mind is Con Ed.When the call is made whether for gas or electric you are not always put on priority and when the seriousness of the situation is again relayed along with term "expedite",you may see quicker results.Other scenarios that come to mind for fire scenes include police for traffic control, or even salters/sanders from dpw. While dispatch may be waiting for the on call driver to call back ,maybe another driver should be contacted expeditiously.
  8. Amicone Math,just lower the threshold till it meets your needs.
  9. Chris ,i don't believe i was criticizing anybody,but yet making a suggestion if you don't know the info ,don't start making up false numbers. This is half the reason the false bs is carried through to rags like lohud .Am i defensive ?you bet your A***. I'm tired of getting our balls wacked off and people right away fly off the cuff with false info.You want numbers ? i'll give you numbers.Our contract provides for 12 - 10 hr days of sick leave incentive, the same as every other agency in the city.Our members were out an average of 9.6 days. When you work a mutual into a 24, and you call in sick,you are being charged for 24 hrs against your sick incentive even though technically it was 1 day of being sick.So as quite the opposite of numbers being thrown around, i'll let the computation expert figure out how many 24 hrs tours it takes to accumulate 96 of sick time.
  10. If you don't have knowledge of the work chart of the YFD ,you should refrain from any future computations.
