I was on a call in Beacon one day back in the late 80's when a guy borrowed his brother's brand new car to pick him up at the airport.He stopped for gas and went to put dry gas in and the little tear off tab fell into the tank.The person stuck his finger in to try and retrieve it and the flap on the fill valve came down on his finger and cut into itabout 1/4 inch. We tried everything we could think of including soap,any otherlubricant no luck. We ended up gaining access to the trunk and cutting the fill pipe below the guys finger and pushing it back out the door for the access area. It was cold out maybe November ,December guy had no coat on. Job took about an hour .He was transported to a hospital for eval and released. On the lighter side I'd hate to be him and making that phone call to his brother............................

Thanks just wanted to be sure

Graet pic's Thanks for sharing..One question though is that Dover Plains Ny in the 1st picture? I was also trying to see what engine number it was as well. Can anyone out there see it better than I could?

May he rest in peace

I have my fair share of people I'd liek to nominate for that job even if it isn't true Verry Funny and made my day .Thanks for sharing

Jet you probably know more than a fair share of the responders in the picture. I saw my brother in one. I also remember this was why Beacon got a set of air bags and formed there Rescue Company. Beacon also only had a set of spreaders from Hurst that they purchased in 1977 and were kept on engine 1(33-11) until 1987 when they took purchase of their first Heavy Rescue(33-55).

The other day I was driving by Wapp. staion 1 on 9d and thought I saw a new engine sitting on the apron. Does anyone have any info on this if it's what i thought it was? Thankz

I couldn't imagine being at work and getting a phone call like that and then arriving and seeing that mess. I'd make sure my daughter went to church every week to thank God for helping her stay safe through all of that

Bill I remember that the most serious injury was one of the girls in the back seat with a broken arm. I believe that they were on the way home from a concert at the Orange County fairgrounds and cut the truck off to get into the toll booth first.

Seth Congrats on the expansion. One question though,If you are registered here will your name work in the other forums as well? I know they do for the New England one. Thanks

Living right next to the great City of Paterson, I can tell you that it is not uncommon to tape off that much area. They are an active department and most of their fires go to 3+ alarms. Alot of people, apparatus etc....It is also not the best area to walk around in... Thanks LED I should have known that but in a stupor with pain meds from a recent surgery. I'd like to know if there was a problem withthis photographer and other Police Officers in the past? I'm not accusing the Police of anything so please my brothers in LEO don't take it that way.

Maybe she is guilty but not knowing all the facts isn't a block anf half a little far to be "taping off" a house fire?

Congrats !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as much as this hurts I have to say the Pats will win

I think it was funny but why no reply's from our brothers in Law enforcement?

"Lindsey Nelson, Bob Murphy, and Ralph Kiiner called Mets games" I remember Kiner couldn't say a sentence without slurring his speech halfway through it. I remember watching the Yankees on Channel 11 with The Scooter, Bill White and Frank Messier I remember going to calls with my dad in his truck,following the engine and seeing the guys on the back step pulling up thier boots and getting ready to go to work. Your all right the list could go on forever and ever......................

Here's hoping that this is never needed
