Today , www.RadioReference.com updated the Westchester County Trunking Database to reflect the changes.

At the end of the video the damaged car is shown. Think of the possible cumlative lung damage from inhaling toxic smoke. We don't need Dr.Oz the tell us to "Go on air !" Tell the FF breathing in the smoke next to you, save your health and well-being. The car is not worth you becoming ill later in life.

miami222 - I know of an FD that also got this type of approval passed by the Mayor and village board members. The Fire Chief made all the formal documentation and the agreement was publicly announced at a meeting. Voted on after a full review by the village attorney. The names of the FF's appeared in the meeting mins. All the bases were covered including permission from their home departments.

Bad News all the way around. People are reluctant to call the FD as it is. Can you amagine if they were going to get billed for money they don't have. Residents would end up paying with their lives. Even billing for activated alarms is poor when life safety is involved. Case in point - A Store manager reset the alarm bells with customers inside. He told them "It goes off all the time , just keep shopping " Then he meets the FD at the door still claiming it was a malfuction. It was not - fire in the restroom. Criminal simply criminal. :angry:

Did you win any money with this prediction ? lol
