What do Satellites do?.. used for

From what I understand they are used basically as a hose cart. They carry a large amount of hose. They also carry a large amount of foam.

I was looking at the photographs of the different FDNY apparatus on 10-75.net and I was wondering what is the difference between a Battalion and a Division? All the different trucks looked exactly the same, so that can't be the difference.

Also is there a difference between a Maxi Water Unit and a Satellite? Once again they looked exactly the same.

these are pretty cool trucks out of British Columbia (I think)

Firefighting / Decon truck

And who does ALS for Bethel?

All I can help you out with is this because I don't own a house. We have a contract with Danbury Ambulance for our Paramedic intercept.

The Newstimes in Danbury reports "a fully loaded gasoline tanker overturned on Rt 7, killing the driver, damaging a bridge over the Norwalk River and sending a fireball an estimated 600 feet into the air." The accident happened near the intersection of Rt 7 and Simpaug Turnpike. The truck was traveling north on Rt 7, it swerved to avoid another vehicle and flipped on its side. The burning gasoline set trees and telephone poles on fire. The burning gasoline started flowing down the river setting the shoreline trees and brush on fire up to 75 feet down river. The bridge was severely damaged due to the intense heat as well as numerous poles were destroyed. Unknown how long the road will be closed for. From the picture on the front page of the Newstimes it looks like six pumpers (unknown which companies they are from), and Ridgefield Ambulance.

It's a little out of the area but The Ice Cream Shop in Newtown CT, exit 10 off I84. They make their own ice cream and they have that old time ice cream shop look to it.
