Was just looking on http://www.FirehouseSolutions.com/ and saw under "in process" or something section of the page, I saw 2 Westchester County departments are expected to be getting a new website soon.
First I saw Hartsdale is getting the full upgrade, along with Goldens Bridge, also getting a full upgrade.
(For those who don't know what the templates/designs are of these websites, I invite you to visit http://www.bedfordhillsfd.org , that's formatted by www.firehousesolutions.com.
Good luck to Hartsdale and Goldens Bridge with their new sites! (Proof Below
)

Was a very nice parade. I took a photo of EVERY truck. I'll upload some later on. If anyone is looking for a pic of a certain truck, PM me I probably have one of it.

If your department is attending what rig are they sending
Somers is bringing their brush truck(MA-14) and one of their ladders(Ladder 48) and maybe one of the chiefs...
FDNY is brining one engine for rememberance of 9/11, and Ossining is bringing 6 rigs..(is what I am told)

May or may not be a stupid question, but I have never seen someone answer it before..
On the back of most newer/slightly older engines, rescues, etc, theres a traffic advisor(arrowstick). I have never really seen an engine park in the middle of the road and turn that on to direct traffic elsewhere, So, is there a different purpose for these?
And on the new engines, Mostly all of them have those very BRIGHT Chevrons on them, why would they spend the money to buy a arrowstick for the back of it? With the chevrons, nobody's not going to see it...
Thanks for the info.
(This thread is not to start a debate about money spending or why they're on chief vehicles, just wondering why they're on rigs that really don't need them..)

Well, just their loss.

It will be kept at the Intrepid Air/Space Museum. It will be housed on the flight deck until a permanent structure can be built. Expected open in July to the public.
Thanks. I'll have to go down once its there for the public.

Looks like it's going to turn out to be very nice... From their website http://www.armonkfd.com/2012/03/new-apparatus-in-production/

We may go down to the TZ Bridge to watch it turn around, not sure yet. Where will this shuttle be kept?

They still ride on the back of garbage trucks in Stamford, CT. See it every day I go into work! There's a reason why Fire Departments stopped this practice in the late 80's.
I see the same everyday, and they go way over 10MPH backwards with 2 guys on the back, and them jumping off mid way..
-
Well, they like it and it gets the job done, so why complain?
-
Didnt even hear or know about it... (Unless I forgot
) Thanks for sharing! Some great pictures and very familiar faces! -
Anyway to create a separate module on the right side of the .NET homepage for just IAs? I agree they need to be taken out of the recent topics. In the case new IA's flood the shoutbox, can we now allow more shouts to be seen. Same size window, just more can be seen when you scroll down. Same theroy should apply to the shoutbox, I still want to see the day's shouts before the flood of IAs. just my 2 cents.
It's rare something like today happens. Like I said above, if thats taken out too( along with the recent topics area" then we will have to manually go back to the home page, and scroll down and see if theres a new one. It's not hard, just a pain to go to the recent topics page, and then to look for an IA you have to go back to the first place. I agree with you Kyle, i would also like to see the current shouts, instead of just IA's.
If that makes sense..
