    Can anyone explain to me what this fascination is with red lights? Why would someone join any agency, exclusively for red lights?

    Seth, my FD rotates drills and truck checks every Sunday (morning) and Monday (evening).
    Like many VFD's, we have many members who work shift work. We try to accommodate this by adding weekday drills and truck checks (usually Tuesday or Thursday). It works well for us. Gives everyone a fair chance at keeping fresh on their training and our equipment.

    Anytime is a good time to train.

    Too early in the Season to consider leaving any hard surface, it happens. Hope they got it out without any damage to the undercarriage.

    Why should a town of 900 people, and not even 2 square miles have its own FD ? Great merge it with nearby departments and let the members join other departments in the area.

  24. lemonice liked a post in a topic by somebuffyguy in Westchester County Fire List   
    New list means a new process. When I took the Westchester cpat I was told it was good for one year (in that same list). If there's another academy there will be a CPAT, if you are being looked at for the next academy you will be called to take the CPAT. If you are not being looked at you won't get a call. 
     
    Stop worry about when the next CPAT, academy, or batch of canvassing letters are. If it applies to you, you will be contacted .
