That choking sign needs a change to a orange and blue NY symbol

Well said JTF. I also think that the Poughkeepsie Urinal's story is very confusing being that they left out certain parts of the incident being mentioned. to further add to it that if pt. A wants xyz ambulance and it is rolled over to DC911 and ABC ambulance arrives as part of a contract then they can still request transport by xyz ambulance and have to sign a RMA for ABC ambulance. Another part to add is that the origianl call in that incident should have called 911 1st and maybe the town board and first responders can conduct a campaign to educate the public to call 911.

Just my thoughts

I would suggest checking the Academy at Montour Falls or calling them

That's right I meant when it was known as KED348 Thanks for catching that

Back to the 3 digit number on the old tanker,I beleive it was back in the 70's that Dutchess 911 was known as KED-348. There was a 3 digit code given to each Dept for the apparatus, that not many places used to often. The one that stands out for me was Glenham's engines being known as Glenham 360 ,361.. Most Dept.'s didn't like it to much and just went and used Engine 1 Engine 2 Truck 1, Truck 2 etc. Maybe some of the older people on the board might remember those numbers and why they weren't used.

Anyone have results of who won what?

At approx 11pm last night I heard Hughsonville with one engine to staging at Home Depot.

Shawn Thanks for the update but I want to ask How is YOUR personnel doing? I would recomend CIDS team for them and all agencies involved. It sounds like your Dept. did another fine job and I'm sure they were as professional as ever.

Here's what I just got from the Poughkeepsie Journal web site

Police charge driver in accident that killed 6-year-old girl

The man involved in a crash Sunday that led to the death of a 6-year-old Poughkeepsie girl was arraigned at St. Francis Hospital this afternoon.

Senghor Dugger, 27, was charged with several vehicle and traffic offenses, including second-degree vehicular manslaughter, a felony, at about 2 p.m. In addition, Dugger faces a parole violation. He's on parole for a robbery conviction in 1998.

Dugger was driving a 1999 Ford Explorer in Pleasant Valley Sunday when it crashed into a car driven by 34-year-old Heather Plain of the Town of Poughkeepsie, according to police accounts. Heather's daughter, Madison, was one of five passengers in the vehicle. She died shortly after the accident.

Police say Dugger turned onto Route 44 from Mill Lane, on which he had been traveling northbound, when his car collided with Plain's vehicle, which was headed west on Route 44. He allegedly ran a stop sign, according to Robert Rochler, an investigator with the state police in Millbrook.

Results are still pending from a blood test that was administered to Dugger. But Rochler said Dugger admitted at the scene he had been drinking. He was coming from a party when the accident occurred, according to Rochler.

Police did not know how long Dugger would remain in the hospital Monday.

“He's being treated for a back injury, but I'm not sure how severe it is,” Rochler said.

Also traveling in Heather Plain’s vehicle Sunday were her mother, Connie Hess, 54, of Poughkeepsie, and three other daughters, ages 11, 12 and 13. All were transported to Saint Francis Hospital in Poughkeepsie.

The six-year-old succumbed to her injuries and was later pronounced dead, state police said. An autopsy is expected to be completed tomorrow, according to Rochler.

The tragedy was the second for the Plain family in recent weeks. Madison's first cousin, Aaron Plain, 22, was fatally stabbed April 27 at a Sunoco station on Main Street in the City of Poughkeepsie, Rochler said.

Anyone with any information about Sunday's accident is urged to contact state police investigator Erich Schaefer at 845-677-7300.

Mobile Life Support services has Turnout coats and helmets in each ambulance for the crew and is required on all MVA's .ALamo also has turnout coats and helmets on each ambulance and is also required on each Mva.

I think one word says it in the picture in the last post "PRICELESS"

Greetings all I haven't posted before but wanted to add my 2 cents on this topic.

I was in Lake George as well this weekend and Saturday morning on Route 9 near the outlets I saw a company with 2 memebers in the hosebed and drinking from what looked like a beer bottle. I couldn't believe what I was seeing but then behind the Engine was the CHIEF of the Dept. in a district vehicle and allowing this to happen. I cannot imagine how a Chief can allow this to happen and it wasn't like the truck was going 5 MPH but going closer to 30 Mph. Firefighters wonder where we get the rep. of doing nothing but drinking beer and being reckless. I know that most Dept's work hard to overcome this image and are professional in the way we conduct ourselves and are serious about what we do............
