  1. Maybe we can get together with our brothers in Ct. and go to a tractor pull
  2. Been out there looking and except for die-cast, cant find a 1/35 sclae model of a rear mount seagrave, tried most companies of plastic models, plastic would work better since I could mod the thing to look like ours, way more flexiable, plus it would kill me to wreck those nice die-cast paint schemes. Any idea's or if someone knows where I could grab one???? Thanks Jloftus
  3. cant get ssb resin.com to come up??????
  4. First Happy New Year to all, Due to limitations on our end, (namely me) and verizon, anyone going to fdmv.net needs to refresh any shortcuts to our site, or search fdmv.net and save the url when it comes up. I have put up a new look and will be adjusting as time goes on. All fdmv members, spread the word. Thanks Jim Loftus Sorry for taking your space, but this will be the faster way to get the word out. Thanks Bravo
  5. Thanks Izzy We are looking for a positive and informational trip to our site. Thanks to all that have supported us and we are looking forward to posting how are job is moving ahead with a new Mayor that is for us. Jloftus
  6. Nope, we all gonna get a pit bull and tie it to my pickup.
  7. I hope this local gives out a call for other locals to come say hello to that dope, to block out any rig for any reason is beyond stupid. I dont know the whole story over there, but I can assume the City is a big part for this nonsense going on. Hey Fahan come on over to the Vern and try some crap like that. No union member should have to take this. Shame on the city of Stamford. Jloftus
  8. Sad , such a good man. Jloftus
  9. From the President and executive board and the members of Local 107, we want to thank all that have supported our efforts this year and past. To all locals thru-out the county and all the departments of Westchester, enjoy this holiday season and be safe. Merry Christmas to all. Jloftus
  10. Man our we gonna love having that truck in the Vern, this is just like Mount Vernon getting a new rig, since its our 3rd due truck Treat it nice
  11. Jody , whats his beef, incompitance is not a reason to get fired??
  12. Great comparrison, whats really scarry, a couple of the people that could have made a difference, work there!!!!! All our members want is a positive work place, and our topics on this forum to be is, How FDMV is a top professional department, we have without a doubt some of the BEST firefighters in this county. No offense to others but thats the mindset we need to have. Jim Loftus Ladder 2
  13. Hi Scott how are ya?? Yea it will fit , they had me try it a couple days ago. turns out were tricky but its possible, the real solution would be station 2, 45-60 seconds more to get where we need to be. Plus the room to work like a human being. Take care Jim
  14. Only thing coming out of this is REVENGE
  15. Jody I'm still gonna get my personnel day right? Man this stuff just doesnt end. Jim
  16. On a positive note Local 107 invites all to go to our site and look over the history of our companies: History FDMV tab. Enjoy the reading with more to follow, Also we thank Chief Henry Campbell who was the author. Jim Loftus Ladder 2
  17. Yes, I'm gonna try to put together a collection and use times frames, Volunteer manpower and changing times. Thier history cant be denied in Mt. Vernon its part of it. Getting the info and transferring it takes time, and Mt. Vernon library has its own problems so getting to the room downstairs is a problem right now, thats were a lot of good stuff is, but like firehouses thier building is damaged and undergoing very slow repair. Cpage - Thanks again Anybody know how to get in touch with Jerry Formasano, Might have messed that name up?? I think he would be a good source. Jim PS problems getting to site: delete your cookies: then close browser: your in
  18. Site is back , take a look and lets us know what you think of the History tab, hopefully there will be a page dated for the 60's and 70's when we really rocked. Any Pics out there would be great, I bet some of you guys got some good ones. Thanks again Jim
  19. Well just when some positive news comes our way I'm afraid to say Verizon droped our site on their end and Im trying to get it back up, please stand by when the site is back up I'll repost. And yes Chief Campbell was a great boss, we knew what the deal was with him. Ya cant ask for more. Jim Loftus Ladder2
  20. Thanks We need some positive, and more will be coming
  21. Thanks for all the supprt out here, when you drive by just look for all the pickups parked on the grass, and nobody better make fun of our lawn furniture. The funny part is the bosses think their fixing things they forget they created this mess. The reason for the trailers is funny too, they dont want to take a truck from the northeast side of town, but closing a west engine company is ok, and closing a south side truck company was to. I guess these people dont count as much. They can make a agruement for a truck with all the OMD"s there but it only goes so far. Station 2 would make more sense and most likely only add about 1:00 min. more on our response time in that area. But what does my small mind know. I guess Im gonna find out what its like living after Katrina, Jim Loftus Ladder 2
  22. That crash truck has been sitting there for almost two years now. I think we got it from Stewart, Just like all rig work hold your breath. Davis will just call FDNY for all our needs, since he doesnt have to put anything in the FD. Shame because that beast might have potential. Love to see it pull up at a job. JLoftus L-2
  23. On Oct. 24th. at 10:30 AM Local 107 Mt. Vernon Firefighters will re-endorse both Clinton Young and Lyndon Williams. The press conference will be held at Station 2 on Fulton Ave., after 12 years of disdain and lack of concern for our members, safety as well as the safety for the people we serve, Local 107 is going with what we beleave is a step to getting our job back on track. We understand what Mr. Young wants from our department and will work with him and his team. You can go to FDMV.NET to see the pdf. on Mr. Young's answers on our situation.
  24. Just for the record: ALL of the current problems have been recorded numerous times , starting since 1992, we do try to take care of what we have but please tell me how to clean MOLD,Insects-( most you cant see),and a administration that does not care. Our jobs are to protect lives and property of the people of Mt. Vernon not be part time janitors. And please lets not insult the people that live here, most are good people having a hard time. These are not things that happened yesterday and yes shame on us for not being heard before , but think of the number of problems we have, after awhile, people say it's them again. Gotta go now I cant stay in this room any longer then 5 minutes before I need to shower.
