I don't understand how they could do that and keep a straight face to the taxpayers

I agree with a lot of what Bendel said in his post but everyone is right about EMS it isn't the best that it can be,how about dropping "contracts" etc and use GPS in all rigs this way if XYZ Fire Dept. ambulance needs ALS and a crew is in the area and available they go no matter what the patch on the uniforms say. I know it's a dream but why can't it happen? We all need to put the BS aside and do what's right for the taxpayers that we protect....... Just my 2 cents

Prayers for a healthy and complete recovery

May all the brothers and sisters Have a safe MERRY CHRISTMAS and safe and Healthy ,Happy New Year .

Yes I know it's a perk for the job Chiefs do to ,but why take it to work 2 Counties away even? I don't get that either and when I have asked some Chief's that question they refuse to answer it.

That is a great site. Nothing wrong with saying what's on your mind ...

I think in NY it should be 1,500.00 if not more. After people start getting tickets they'll learn to clean off the vehicles. As for thr trucks and larger vehicles not sure what can be done but some smart people out there could find a wayto do the job.

Mine is my Intials and badge Number for my job ...

This story was in last month's Readers Digest and was truly remarkable

I agree Moron of the week sounds good

It'll be interesting to see what happens to all the Management people at Alamo. Last time it wasn't to "smooth" and those of us in the area remember it well.

I agree I think it would help us more than hurt us. If you are driving with due regard then you have nothing to worry about when the lawyers cone knocking if you unfortunately have an accident.

Irishfire I'm not familiar with Verplanck but do you have hydrants? If so why not some basic stuff like that or water supply op's ?

I agree seems faster

I just found this on pojonews.com Update: Jewish Federation rescinds request, apologizes Hyde Park will leave Nativity scene By John Davis Poughkeepsie Journal HYDE PARK – A manger scene will remain on the lawn of town hall. A day after asking the town to remove the nativity scene, Bonnie Meadow, executive director of the Jewish Federation of Dutchess County, has withdrawn her request. The public outcry following her request was more than Meadow expected, she said in a letter today to Hyde Park Supervisor Pompey Delafield. She had asked the town to remove the manger scene, claiming it offended some non-Christians in Hyde Park and that it violated federal law. “I never dreamt that my request to remove the nativity scene at the offices of the Town of Hyde Park would upset so many people so much,” Meadow said in the letter. “It was never my intent to hurt anyone or to spoil their holidays. In view of the public outcry, I hereby rescind my request to you. “I apologize for whatever difficulty this may have caused and I wish you and your community a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays,” she said. After researching the legality of the issue, Hyde Park Supervisor Pompey Delafield today said the manger will stay due to it being a longstanding tradition. He did not mention, however, that Meadow had withdrawn her request. “The Hyde Park Knights of Columbus have provided and maintained a nativity scene as part of a 30-year-old holiday celebration,” Delafield said in a prepared statement this afternoon. “We have and will continue to honor that tradition again this year. This display is the property of the Knights of Columbus and we will continue to work with them to address any appropriate future tradition for the nativity scene after the holidays.” Delafied also said the town will welcome the placement of other religious symbols on the town hall lawn. “The town honors all religions in this holiday season and would be open to a similar display of the menorah to honor the season of Chanukah, or any other appropriate season display as a part of this year’s holiday offering at town hall,” Delafield said in the statement. The Hyde Park Knights of Columbus, a Catholic men's organization, have put up the manger scene on the town hall lawn every Christmas season for more than 30 years. Dean Davis, a local Knight, said he was contacted by the town Wednesday about removing the manger scene. "They are taking Christmas from us," he said. "It's Christ's Mass. If they want to do that, it's going to ruin the whole country." After receiving a request Wednesday from the Jewish Federation of Dutchess County to remove the nativity scene, the town officials said they were considering asking the Knights of Columbus to remove it. Meadow said in her original request the manger offended some non-Christians in Hyde Park and the display of religious symbols on government property was a violation of federal law. After receiving that letter, Delafield said he would have the town attorney research the legality of the manger scene. "If the law says it has to come down, it will have to come down," Delafield said Wednesday. The town supervisor said he never had a problem with the manger scene on the lawn, but if it became one for others, he would prefer seeing it removed. "I did not want to make an issue out of it," he said. "I believe in the separation of church and state."

Because ALS that would make sense to do something like that

Is that for the whole region or for each county?

Happy Thanksgiving to all and to those working tomorrow stay safe

Rest in Peace Chief

Awesome shots Bill . Ithink I was 14 when that happened..............

RIP brother
