I always hope it's raining should we need decon... problem solved.

Great question.
The original plan was as follows:
MDU #1 Town of Greenburgh (Incorporated Villages):
Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Elmsford, Irvington, Hastings & Tarrytown - MDU #1 was never deployed MDU #2 Sound Shore Chiefs:
Harrison, Larchmont, Mamaroneck (Town & Village), Port Chester, Rye & Rye Brook - MDU #2 was originally housed in PC MDU #3 Central Westchester:
Armonk, North White Plains, Purchase & West Harrison - MDU #3 is housed at AFD MDU #4 Briarcliff Area
Briarcliff, Millwood & Ossinging - MDU #4 was purchased by BMFD with grant funds MDU #5 North Central Westchester (Towns of Bedford, Mt. Kisco, Somers)
Bedford, Bedford Hills, Katonah, Mt. Kisco & Somers - MDU #5 was originally housed in Katonah MDU #6 North Western Westchester. (Towns of Cortland & Yorktown)
Not sure if this unit was ever established, there was talk at one time that Montrose VA would handle

Interesting story about a Rescue truck.

I think most agencies would be happy just sustaining what they've got. It seems that every year they try to get away with cutting more and more. Pretty soon, EVERY cut takes it's toll!

Everything about this bill ( now law) horrifies me- the way it was written, the way it was rushed through in the back rooms of albany, voted on in the middle of the night- it is all about the government asserting power. Weather it has any effect on gun crime was obviously not something these bottom feeding politicians care about

And now, for an opposing view: The "Oklahoma 2nd Amendment Preservation Act" is now working its way through the Oklahoma legislature.
The language of the legislation is clear: "Federal acts, laws, orders, rules, regulations, bans or registration requirements regarding firearms constitute an infringement on the individual right [to keep and bear arms] in the Constitution of the United States...and are hereby declared to be invalid in the State of Oklahoma."
The legislation mentions the "intent" of America's "Founders" and the Constitution's "ratifiers," and sets forth the punishment for trying to enforce new gun control measures:

Any official, agent, or employee of the United States government or any employee of a corporation providing services to the United States government that enforces or attempts to enforce an act, order, law, statute, rule or regulation of the government of the United States in violation of this act shall be guilty of a felony and upon conviction...shall be punished by imprisonment in the custody of the Department of Corrections not to exceed five (5) years.

I watched this go down via their live feed last night and noticed some interesting points.
1. Even some supporters of this bill stated that they didn't think that banning certain types of weapons would help.. But that we need a societal change
2. As stated legislators had 20 minutes to review this bill before a vote? Children spend more time then that on math homework!! This sounds like a back door deal that was shoved down our throats.
3. Greg Ball is very right
Just my two cents....

The problems keep surfacing!! This shouldnt have been so rushed! Cuomo was trying to make a name for himself and pushed through rushed legislation. This should be repealed and done the right way.

So if they only threaten to poison or blow people up, they can keep their guns?
—Ban the Internet sale of assault weapons.
1. Does that overstep state authority, since only the Feds can regulate interstate commerce
2. How can you possible enforce this?
—Restrict ammunition magazines to seven bullets, from the current national standard of 10. Current owners of higher-capacity magazines would have a year to sell them out of state. An owner caught at home with eight or more bullets in a magazine could face a misdemeanor charge.
So if a retired LEO has had a larger capacity mag, because it mrrors what he was issued/trained on, he cant.
—Increase sentences for gun crimes including for taking a gun on school property. The "Webster provision" would increase penalties for shooting first responders. Two firefighters were killed when shot by a person who set a fire in the western New York town of Webster last month. The crime would be punishable by life in prison without parole.
Wow, I person kills a bunch of kids at school and we will make his sentence longer, Life in prison only works if he does not kill himself.
If you make the law strict enough and stupid enough (like over stepping the states constitutional power) you are more likely to get someone to challenge it in federal court.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Segments of the media and some politicians have had a long standing agenda against guns and this tragedy is their excuse to take action.

. Correct me if iam wrong but I thought he used four handguns to comitt the horrible act and the rifle was left in the car.

A few questions for you.
1) what is an "assault weapon"?
2) what are all the law abiding citizens who own weapons that have magazines with 10 rounds (or11, 12 or 13) supposed to do with their guns now? Magazines that hold 7 rounds don't exist. This law makes law abiding citizens instant criminals. How does that help?
This legislation is simply feel good political junk. There were laws in place before Newtown. Did the law against THEFT stop Lanza? How about the law against BREAKING AND ENTERING? Oh, and don't we have laws against MURDER? Did any of those laws stop him? NO. Not one.
I don't understand how you think new laws will stop people like him? He obtained the guns illegally. Why do you think restricting me will prevent this from happening again?

Maybe I am looking at this the wrong way and if I am feel free to correct me...In the 1930's prohibition was established...did it stop people from getting booze? I think people drank more. Second how long has the war on drugs been in effect? Has it done anything to prevent illegal drug sales? Last I read Oxycodone abuse is on the rise and people are getting more and more addicted to it and it it easily available illegally on the streets. Drugs are out there.
You can pass all the laws you want the crooks will continue to beat the overloaded system and with the big push to reduce the amount of cops today they crooks will have the advantage because they know they can and will get all the guns they want without clip restrictions they want to put on law abiding citizens.

While something needs to be done, an assault on The Constitution and The Bill of Rights for LEGAL GUN OWNERS is not the answer.
We all know Gov.Cuomo is aspiring for a future presidential run, and (IMO) this is nothing more than a hot-button topic for him to ride on.
For a snapshot of the effect that the toughest gun laws in the nation are capable of, all one needs to do is take a look at ChIcago, the guns-down, murder capitol of the country.
Is this what you want for NY, too, Mr Governor?

You'd be surprised, an iPad with a Lifeproof case is pretty durable.
