  1. Pocantico Hills T12 does a decent amount of Mutual Aid. Their Engine often goes to Sleepy Hollow.

    Archville is so close to Briarcliff's west side, there's really no advantage of moving them up to E92's house, in my opinion.

    Ossining's 10-75 plan calls for Sleepy's TL38 to relocate. It's currently OOS (for a long time, I am told).

    If TL38 is OOS, the next on the list is Croton TL44. With Croton down an Engine (E119) - it's a tough call pulling both their FAST (using U14) and TL44 out of town. Next on the list would be Briarcliff TL40 - which if R37 is already there it might be tough to staff. Next on the list is Pleasantville. When that Main Street fire came in, there was a large brush fire in Ossining that Briarcliff was working at (since it was actually in both districts). Briarcliff had Pleasantville Engine in their HQ, so the next available Truck in the area was Montrose.

    Sometimes, it is better to leap frog and pull a unit to relocate from 2 towns away then the one next door. IE if Ossining has a job and calls Montrose TL8 to relocate instead of Croton, it could be argued that Croton runs a lot more calls and has a higher probability of needing their TL then Montrose would.


  2. This whole thread makes me want to chop up Excedrin and snort it...

    The issue is a commissioner candidate who is looking at it from a financial standpoint and not a service one.

    The issue isn't 60 Control. The issue is cost savings which ultimately would mean a drop in manpower.

    Dispatch might be the only place a brother on light duty can go until they're fit for full duty.

    Could 60 handle Hartsdale, yup - 100%. One day that time will come but if it does, it should be at the decision of the HFD Chief and Officers and not the commissioners. The men doing the job are the ones that should decide on what's best for that job.

  3. 1. Where the fire was, appeared to be closer to Vista and Connecticut.

    2. Tankers were needed, which Bedford lacks.

    3. The IC called a Truck from Bedford Hills, Bedford doesn;t have one.

    4. Anyone with a scanner knows Bedford struggles to cover what seems like the majority of their calls. Why take the gamble?

    5. Wouldn't this be more appropriate for the Chief or Bedford to contact the Chief of Pound Ridge?

  5. More Chiefs then indians, no?

    According to a source, 60 Control has steadily increased their workload almost 75% over the past decade - and hasn't increased their staffing.

    It's a ticking time bomb and their "Director" has his hand on the detonator and the Commissioner does nothing about it.

    Other than adding people in every unit except comms and buying millions of dollars worth of dust-collecting toys, what has changed for the better?!
