But yet Bravo Management would have us believe that these people resigned, if they did how did they clean house.

A year or two ago a comment was made from Bravo management. Something like "I've cleaned house" this was in reference to the current moderators at that time. These mods were on top of their games both professionally and as Bravo moderators. Big mistake. Lost many a true member that day.

Last made in 1990, longest run chassis in history.1958 till 1990 built by the Budd cab company for Ford , Mack, FWD, Walter, There are still many running around Westchester on the Ford chassis

I'm sure there a million of these running around but was surprised when i saw it. Thought they are pretty cool looking. There is also a Autocar chassis in Yonkers I,m going to try and photograph one day.

Read the city notice for God's sake.

I love it when they can't even read the application, just another one you can count out of the competition.

Thank you LOL

Read the city notice for God's sake.

Read the city notice for God's sake.

Page 4 of the application states "Five points on Written Exam for Active Military Service". Call it a hunch, but something tells me there may be a written exam.

Those doors were painted by firefighters in 1976 to comemerate the 200th nniversary of our country. The rescue was located at 151 South Fulton Avenue, Truck 1 at 23 South Sixth Avenue and Barry, it is 211 South Fourth Avenue.

Here's a bit of Mount Vernon FD Fire Station History for you (Old Quarters for Engine 1 and Engine 2; Old Quarters of Engine 3 and Truck 4; Old Quarters of Engine 5, Truck 3 and Foam 1; Quarters of Engine 6 and Truck 2; Old Quarters of Rescue 1; Old Quarters of Truck 1)

There was a unit preparing to descend from above, should going through the glass not work.
The rescue operation was probobly performed by Res. 1, Sq. 18 and the fist due truck.
The command post would have been at ground level and the operations post up above.
As for the initial response? Honestly, I can only guess. There are all sorts of special conditions for boxes like this in Manhattan....I'm just a simple Bronx Boy, the DONT tell us these things. I'm sure it was at least 3&2 with Sq., Res., and a SOC support truck. I'm sure the Rescue Battalion and who knows who else......its a high profile box.

I think ESU cops know what ESU cops need and there for we'll defer to them to decide what vehicle fits them best.
After that....we went off the rails. I think this has run it's course.

I live in Chesapeake, VA now, and distance between firehouses are much more than he mile or two I was used to in the northeast. In the rural areas of this city of 215,000, there are places where the first due engine (a tanker) is close to10 min for the run to the scene. Second due is another 10 min. As we have learned, a typical fire doubles every 10 min, so with 3-man companies, the first due cannot make entry legally and must wait for the second due to make entry. That means the fire has grown to four times the size it was when the homeowner called 911. Aside from an exterior knockdown and wait for another company, there's not much OSHA will let you do.
Let's say that when the first due pulls up, the homeowner announces to the officer that her baby is inside. The officer repeats this to his crew and one guy goes VES at a rear window and makes a grab of the baby. What happens to the Officer and FF? They are heros and OSHA keeps its mouth shut.
But let's say the baby dies because the ff was waiting for the 2-out?. OSHA again is probably silent.
If the baby dies and the FF is injured? OSHA hangs everybody
The Motto if the story: Life is not fair, OSHA will probably hang you, and FF's usually listen to their conscience when they calculate Risk Assessment.

To echo thebreeze above.....he IS different. He served this country in battle and deserves to be treated with special regard. Your response is cold, callus and devoid of reasonable consideration. This is a man who is as qualified as all and more so than most, it would appear. If the board has a reason, beyond cold-calculated political retribution, let them voice it.There will certainly be a legal battle here, which the village will lose. They'll suffer shame and a waste of tax payer dollars to boot.
My score on future promotional exams will certainly be eclipsed by those with Vet. credits and they'll be promoted before me. This is good and right, they are more deserving than I because they gave in a way I never have.

This happened on May 30 1973, . I was 5 years old at the time. I remember hearing the explosion and then my house shook for about 3 minutes, and I was about 3 miles away from it. The SS Esso Brussels & SS Sea Witch collided Just North of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge then drifted under the bridge while still on fire. I remember one of the boats was pushed to the shore line after the fire was "put out" it sat there for weeks smoldering about 25 feet from land.
The lower level of the bridge was closed for weeks, and then opened and closed for repairs for a few years due to this.
This is possibly the biggest Maritime Incident in NYC history. Here is a link with some info
http://wikimapia.org/10471086/SS-Esso-Brussels-SS-Sea-Witch-Collision-Site and a pic of that night. Does anyone remember this or any other major Maritime Incident in NY

.

Pull up rubber boots, riding the back step, open cabs, SCBA for a few, not all. Please don't post any more photos, I feel old enough already.

You get it? 300 lb pissed off dude "Hey bud, you need to come with me ok?" " Sure officer, no problem. I'd put my hands behind my back but I'm to big to handcuffed in the rear unless you have two sets of cuffs handy" Pick a scenario. Tasers? Not an option on Staten Island. Shoot the perp? Not a good idea. Maybe wait for K9, but thats inhumane. What's the answer? No matter what you do, you lose. Yes let's put cameras on all our officers, that will solve everything. How about holding each and every citizen responsible for their actions to in include showing their ass on a public sidewalk, street etc. LEOs aren'tperfect and there's some bad apples out there but the morales of society suck and it's out of control.
