I notice Yonkers Squad 11 goes on all 10-30's? I thought they nixed doing that so they kept some sort of rescue in service in the city?

Isn't Harrison one of the better EMS systems in the area? Why is the Town of Harrison always embroiled in some sort of political scandal?

Why does it have to be volunteers only? Why can't NYS legislation just keep firefighters as equals in these matters?

Does anyone have a copy of this policy they can post?

How and what did they damage that made replacing the truck a better option?

Rye needs more paid staffing per shift. They aren't going to solve anything by "recalibrating the dynamics" when volunteers can't even afford to live in the City.

My department probably would have gone Seagrave if they had the mid mount version of this at the time.

I am so happy that the truth came out. So often our police officers are falsely accused of wrong doings. Without those cameras, most of us, including myself, would take the word of what we would consider two highly respected and trusted individuals.
A firefighter, especially a fire captain, is expected to do the right thing. He is assigned to set the standards and be a role model to younger firefighters. He is to lead by example.
Firefighters and Police Officers work side by side many times together in life threatening situations. They attend LODD funerals for each other. There is probably no other group of employees that face more danger in our society today as those police officers and firefighters who we all depend on. There is an Unwritten Brotherhood that is shared by each and every one.
As a retired fire officer myself, I find this incident embarrassing to ALL Fire Fighters. One of our Brother Firefighters just dragged ALL of us through the mud. When you wear that badge and uniform, what you do, both on and off duty, represents everyone of us. You are held to a much higher standard than most other citizens.
So if you make your career as a firefighter, remember whether you are in Georgia, New York City or any place else, what you do on or off duty reflects on ALL of Us.
And by the way, for those police officers that are out there "doing it everyday and every night", I have nothing but the highest respect for you. I just Thank the Good Lord you are there.

The two of them should be fired for filing a false complaint. As for arresting them, I think the loss of their jobs would be sufficient learning experience.
Morons.

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

Just when the morale couldn't be any lower...BAM! Boom goes the dynamite! These poor guys.

What happened to "Everyone Goes Home"? Tell that Northern Westchester combination department on the Hudson River Firefighter to read this:

There is something seriously, seriously wrong with a department's safety and training procedures if this many firefighters are getting hurt at every fire, or something else is going on, like union issues.

I wish Seagrave had gotten this, but there was no chance since they didn't go out to bid. These are basically written to Seagrave spec.

So, instead of having one person in distress, you'll have two.
Not to mention the fact you have to train constantly to remain proficient with this technique.
Does this option cost extra?

Been reading this site a long time. Just started posting. Seems to have a very knowledgeable membership, wish more people would join in though.

This morning, at 0001hrs, EMTBravo turned 13 years old! Maybe it's just me that's excited over something so trivial, but to me, it means something
Seems like it was just yesterday when I sat dow at my computer, enjoying the relatively new, long awaited broadband connection, at my apartment in Woburn,MA, on New Year's Eve, when on a whim, I decided to create a website to replace my Westchester Fire & EMS email list. So, the very simple website went live at 0001 on New Years Day, and, like a snowball down a hill, kept growing each and every week that went by. Photos and information poured in to post on the original site. There had never been a site like this in the Hudson Valley and Southwestern CT, and was launched before anyone had really every heard about Facebook or the term "Social Media". You could tell imediately that this was something that people had wanted since learning the word "Internet". Heck, some people only ventured on the internet for EMTBravo, and that's the only use they had for the internet.. Seven months later, the EMTBravo Network forums (the site you're reading this one) was launched to replace the "News" section of the original site and become an interactive and dynamic way to exchange information and ideas . EMTBravo has grown tremendously since then. I'm proud we our are own website, with our own software, on our own server, all completely customized for EMTBravo by me.
It's still our vision, and it's been proven over the years, that firefighters, police officers, EMS workers, 911 Dispatchers, and everyone else with an interest in emergency services can work together, can become friends, can develop ideas, can learn from one another, and can make anything happen. Of course, it was our first mission to "get the word out" which is still true to this day.
One of the things that I am proud of, is that members of the site when it was first launched are still active members to this day! The loyalty and support of this site by the all of our members has been awesome, and has made the site what it is.
Personally, one of the things I'm most grateful for during the entire 13 years of this site was all the great friendships that I have made along the way, that I probaly wouldn't have ever met had it not been for this site.
In the next couple of days, we will announce our strategic plan for 2016, which will bring some exciting new things for our membership.
Warmest regards,
Seth Granville
Founder and Administrator, EMTBravo
