Hey all, I got a message through the old IPBoard app on my iPhone that they have a new app for upgrading. The old app is no longer supported and the new app is free for download. Just wanted to pass the information along.

Sent u a message about Hastings

To the Brothers from Depts with funny names to the North ----------- all of us from Nassau want to extend a simple but heart felt
THANK YOU!
It definitely was interesting to hear Yonkers L-78 & the Battalion covering Hempstead while we were operating at fire the other morning.
Please Stay Safe.

As previouslly discussed on this site in the archived thread below, the General Ike has finally been completed and delivered to Florida as of yesterday. The biggest delay was finding the proper set of hose reels to replace the retro-fitted crosslays above the pump panel. A proper pair was located, restored and mounted. The 6v53 fired up on the first try, and around the block we went. Hoping to put some miles on this weekend. More pics to follow...

Hate to see an empty bed! (Scroll up to see more)

I usually don't "buff" calls to take photos, unless it is immediately nearby or I come upon something. So, this afternoon, while going to the supermarket, I happened upon this car fire. Now, I know this is only a car fire, but since I don't buff many incidents, I'm taking this oppurtunity to share my photos.

( B ) You have purchased a photo collection, or are guardian of one (such as a department historian)
( C ) You may repost photos from Flickr,Photobucket, etc. This goes for all photo hosting and gallery sites that have a sharing feature, or "Creative Commons" license where the photographer clearly allows sharing. Please make sure that is clearly states the photo can be shared.You must credit the photo to that person, which site it came from, and a link to the gallery in which the photo was posted in in your post.
3. Photo theft, or "Lifting", is banned. You may not take another photo from another site and claim it as your own, or imply that it is yours. You may not repost photos found on other sites on this site. Linking to the photo is a recommended way to share the photo.
4. If the photographer or owner of a photo asks you to remove it, do so and notify a staff member immediately.
We take protecting the photos of our members and other photographers very seriously. We are always looking to weed out those who steal the work of others. Consequences include immediate termination of membership and sharing the inringement information with the original photographer..
Simple: If the photo isn't yours or doesn't meet the criteria above, don't post it. You can post a link to the photo instead. If you see a photo that is yours and you did not give permision for it to be posted, please hit "Report Post" and notify the staff.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Am I reading the emails from the pcbes correctly, that they are looking for fire police to direct traffic for nyseg? If so that is complete horse crap! Our volunteers should never be used for any corporate entity, especially one that likes to run bare bones operations till its too late. Pay these guys 30 an hour and ot after 8 hours like everyone else gets.

Heres a photo from Hartford PD i took earlie this year in Hartford,CT....The PD seized a hummer from drug lords and turned the vehicle into a PR vehicle.

The Town of Poughkeepsie (separate from the city of Poughkeepsie) in Dutchess County's new Ford Police Interceptor. Unaware of any of the specifications. Photographed at Marist College.

New Fout's Brother's/Kenworth 3000 tanker for Northern Wayne Fire Co., Lakewood, PA. (NEPA). Tanker undergoing pump testing prior to being lettered and stripped. Additional photo's to follow.

Do they really use the 4 door cab doing 9-1-1? I'd rather have a smaller rig to do "street" jobs. But I can see using it with a student or observer.

There are pictures of the NYC VFD's at http://www.fdnytrucks.com/. Go to the Special Units tab at http://www.fdnytruck...pecialunits.htm to view their apparatus, scroll to the bottom of the list.

I may be out of line here but has there been any consideration by the village to donate the old pumper to one of the storm effected departments in NY or NJ?

We are looking to have the wetdown in April.

I was deployed on Saturday morning (Yonkers spare L-78) at about 0900Hrs with a crew of five firefighters and did not get home until Monday morning at about 0230Hrs. We were first sent to Freeport LI and then sent to Baldwin LI. I had a great crew who was willing to do anything asked to help the people of Long Island. We responded to many calls and our relief crew actually caught a couple of structure fires.

Our home away from home for 72 hours.

New York State DEC Police at a Hess station in Long Beach...tensions were very high.

Credit of this picture collage goes to Lt. Oates, VGFD. It shows members of the Vails Gate and Point Lookout-Lido FD's, as well as the aftermath of a car fire w/extension as well as the damage in Long Beach.

We went down without hesitation, slept on cots, sat in the dark, ate PB&J for four days, cleaned the firehouses, ran many calls. I took a bunch of pictures. There was damage that hasn't been seen in many years, if ever and going down and being able to help was an honor and a privilege that I'll never forget. I took the photos to remember it. The firefighters and residents were extremely grateful to see us and took pictures with us.
