They died while performing a search for a reported trapped victim of a fire at 100 Main St. The person was later found unharmed among the spectators. The City of White Plains NY Fire Department lost two brave men that night.
The site of this fire in 1954 is now where the Galleria Mall is located.

I just aquired these from my father, his uncle took them in and around 1952..... photo credit to Robert Lindgren, FDNY.

"Quinn was speaking before cameras about the reopening of the controversial E. 91st St. marine transfer station when the 17-year-old girl suddenly dropped to the ground in front of the crowd shortly before noon, witnesses said.
The speaker ran over to the teen, who may have collapsed because of the heat, and began rubbing her arms as a member of Quinn's detail — an NYPD cop who is a trained EMT — began rendering aid to the girl.
"It's going to be okay," Quinn told the girl as another bystander called 911.
They quickly pulled the girl into the shade under a tent as Quinn's security guard grabbed an oxygen tank to help the young woman breathe.
But Quinn finally lost her patience after waiting about 30 minutes for an ambulance to arrive and dialed NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly for help.
"We were trying to get through to [FDNY Commissioner] Sal Cassano, and I was unable to get connected," Quinn said."

Interesting, injured woman faints and is conscious and being treat by "trained personnel" (a police officer who is also an EMT). Triaged as it should and held for higher priority calls due to a 25% spike in call volume. But because it is the Speakers intern there is "outrage " because it should have been a "priority 1" call. Maybe they should hold the arrest, MI, stroke or true unconscious for her intern. This is the same Speaker that would have called for a City Council investigation if an MOS family's call was bumped up. I guess it is justified when you call the Police Commissioners private cell and pull strings to get your low priority call bumped up to a high priority "unconscious" even though the woman was conscious. Maybe the speaker and her intern should have followed her own instructions that she has been handing out since the heat wave started - stay hydrated, in the shade when possible and wear light colored, loose fitting clothing.

To celebrate 10 years of EMTBravo, over the next several weeks, I'll be posting the Feature Photos from the EMTBravo Portal (formerly known as the front or main page of EMTBravo.com) that have been featured in the past 10 years.
As far as the quality of the photos go, keep in mind how far digital camera have come in 10 years, and the photos display differed in sizes to fit the current EMTBravo.com page at the time. The smaller photos are the oldest, while larger ones were the newest. I'm not posting them in any sort of order, just randomly.
This photo was taken and submitted by cas2383 and featured on EMTBravo.com on 8-14-2004. It show Port Chester TL-2 flowing water during a drill in August 2004.

Arlington (fire and fire based transporting EMS with EMT/Paramedic)
City of Poughkeepsie (first response EMS only, transport by commercial EMS)
LaGrange (fire and fire based transporting EMS with EMT/Paramedic)
Fairview (fire based BLS transporting EMS)
City of Beacon (first response EMS only, transport by VAC EMS)
Pleasant Valley (first response EMS , transport by commercial EMS or vollie Ambulance with career member on occasion. Daytime staffing only for now)
New Hackensack (?...this one always escaped me..)
In addition, the Castle Point FD is a career, federal (I beleive; perhaps Beekman could verify?) department, that does not hire off of the civil service list.
Not sure if anyone is hiring, but every year more jobs are getting bigger due to dwindling volunteer ranks, except the PFD..they fighting for what little manpower they have)
And let me add - that if this test is valid for three years or so...i would ANTICIPATE volunteer departments in manpower crisis states to start looking to hire, even if they follow Pleasant Valley's lead with daytime only, and even if it is just as a "driver" capacity..but we all know that a foot in the door is a foot in the door, and today's "driver" will be tommorow's Senior Man.

They originally had a 86 Mack/Aerialscope which they sent to Pierce last year or late 2011 for remounting and refurbishing of the boom. Here is the almost final product, just missing some decals.

And then there are depts with lower staffing and taller buildings........We must be at a really big disadvanage
