    Hope the new Mayor and Fire Commissioner work. on background checks, so as not to hire problems, Remember past actions are the best indicator of future actions. MVFD needs eleven new firefighters not eleven new problems.

    Great work by DPW showed great bravery and intuition, however this event shows the continued danger of questionable apartments , a seemingly endless problem in the metro area. Further underlined by the anniversary of FDNY Black Sunday this week, which had illegal occupancies as the root cause of the tragedy and illustrated that illegal dwelling units are not only a danger to occupants but firefighters also.

    Terrible conduct from sworn Fire Officers, if the cop didn't have the footage, he would have had two "professionals" from another uniformed service successfully jam him up. All over a rat expired plate ticket.
    Hopefully Dr.Alexander does the right thing

    The secret to making a tiller man look good is a considerate driver up front, Sane speed, wide turns and backing up coordination.
    It is always a good idea that the driver brings the tiller man along on the run. Many a good firehouse story revolved around this oversight not to mention rows of parked cars that were customized.

    Actually it would be good if a concerted effort could be made to get a driving simulator at Valhalla to train all firefighters. It is a rare firefighter that will not drive something in his/her career. Certainly some firefighters will be driving a rig every shift.
    Perhaps a combination of funding from the County, private groups and insurance carriers that write municipalities, as theymight be interested in knocking down their exposure

    Good luck with the new rig, just wondering why the Greenburgh area Departments continue using 4inch hose rather then 5inch LDH. Realizing of course they were pioneers in the LDH conversion

    It always interested me how White Plains FD was able to avoid taking an active role in EMS as all the other local cities and most combo Departments are all in on first response.

    That section of Palmer Avenue from Chatsworth Avenue to the Movie Theater was probably one of the most burnt down blocks in America beginning in the sixties and into the early eighties.

    Bet most of those new 3,ooo runs in Yonkers were gas calls

    What would have happened if a photo of firemen as they were called then, a generation or so ago, was published of guys visibly beat sitting on the back step after a "good feed" smoking either a Lucky or Camel, if neither were available an dry, the filter would be ripped off and the cigarette smoked backwards.
    Often the guy running the "job" would have the stub of a White Owl, Ben Franklin or DiNobli stuck in the corner of his mouth giving unintelligible orders.
    Of course most of these guys are dead today.
