Before we get to deep here understand I'm putting myself outthere and asking for help . Maybe I should or should not be doing this but I'd like to keep my butt warm this winter.

Several factors are in play here and finding fault means nothing getting this rig fixed is the bottom line.

I once again thank all

I'll try to be as accurate as possible;

Right now we have three issues with the rig

Broken Chassis bolts

tip of stick about 4 feet down has crack

return line of hyd. system is twisted causing heating problems in system. Been replaced a couple of times.

We need them to take this rig ASAP

And for Seagrave It appears no warranty issue???????

Thanks and Happy Holidays to you and your family

I'm reaching out here for help on a issue that needs addressing:

If anyone has any juice with Excelsior please read carefully:

We have been using on the line a 1972 Mack 75ft. Tower for some 14 months now and our 1998 ( I think ) 100ft. Seagrave has been sitting around collecting dust,since a turntable seal let loose in Oct. of 2005 at the training center.

Now lets compare: 1972

Nixon was President

Gas Prices - low of 40.4 cents per gallon

Bob Newhart Show #1

Number 5 on the hit charts: candyman: Sammy Davis Jr. ( R.I.P)

I was 14 years old ( God I'm old )

We need this rig back in service as winter is coming and for our Safety.

The people of Mt. Vernon deserve better and no fault by the adminastration this issue needs resolve.

I ask if anybody out there doing this job is using a 1972 rig on the line anywhere in N.Y. state.

I ask that you guys give Excelsior a call and help us get this needed rig back in service.

Thanks

Just curious what would there number be after the 8????

162 is that right????

Guys your right on target

I just love this job and all I have the honor of working with.

When I air out a topic its because one day I dont want read how we lost 4 guys.

I hope that one day we can figure out how to address these issues.

I beleave this forum is a place to start. you have such a powerfull tool here so you must realize why I would use it as such.

But I also dont want to be a distraction for other topics.

Thanks again for all your good work

Once again New Rochelle is thinking of their future and the safety of their firefighters. I applaud Doc for taking this fine Dept. another step forward, also thank them for their constant MA in the city of Mt. Vernon.

I hope at some point they realize that this manpower increase is gonna benefit Mt. Vernon, as our dept. has decided this fed money does not work for us.

They would have to increase the city charter number and they just can't do it, as that would be a responsible move. And why should you, we have New Rochelle at our disposal.

Hey scott whats up??

Your Dad did his awsome job like always, he just loves this job , as old as he is. ( Dont tell him I said that or he'll light the dorm up again)

Trust me on that

Guys on second floor had to exit stage left, or butts woulda been burned. out windows they went.

We just keep getting lucky that no one gets hurt bad , with the deal we gotta work with.

Take care

the origanal call was for a investagation of smoke for engine 4 then filled out assingment.

I gotta ask the board here , is mount vernon being blocked out ,cause Ive been trying to post and have gotten blown out numerous times??

I was called in because of my past post and they were taken to the law dept. with the city, should this be true I would like to know.

I could be all wrong on this but I dont put anything past the city because of their lets not make noise attitude, this way everything is okay.

Hey hudson

Maybe that link is like a Mt. Vernon truck

Its there and looks real but it does not work

Rangel is without a doubt the biggest disgrace in Congress.

If you listen to him long enough anybody with a clue knows his agenda.

Charlie has no respect for the office of the President, one can make a point and still show some respect for another person , chuckles doesnt have a clue.

And best of all, he represents the district I work, big ,big disgrace.

Being successful is hard work and I thank you for your efforts, I'm not sure what this is all about but I can tell you the guys from FDMV got your back.

We have a real platform to get our message out on and have it read by both Voly's and Pro's, and both have given us positive feedback, so we couldnt have done this without this site.

Get healthy, and do what is best for you, but I thank you for providing us with a real site that covers many and important issues.

Hudson your in big trouble mister:

Lets not get so tight , everybody has a right to post ,

Have a nice day and play nice.

Hey you guys really wanna get scared , go look at what middle east news groups think of our new leadership. That they see our changes as positive makes me really nervous. Back to the good old days.

gotta go I gotta finish that bunker in the backyard.

PS. Anybody got extra candles?

see ya

First I mess up and use those pics then I cant get your name right,

Sorry once again Nate................

I'm on a roll

gotta go take my meds-see ya

Today I learned I had used some of Ned's pic's for the FDMV tribute video, first I did that video on the fly and wasnt thinking.

I have used this great resource here as a tool to get out our message at work and help better our job and having this site is a awsome way of communicating with others that can help.

That said : I apoligize to Ned and EMTbravo as well as all members and you can trust I wont make this mistake again.

I hope others read this post and understand that this is about the great work these guys do everyday for us and should not be abused, its not about the copyright its about respect.

Sincerly,

Not to bright

New Rochelle should be commened for there realistic and progressive thinking, the biggest problem with these jobs is just getting to the floor without your nozzle team being wipe out by the climb. ( up the stairway ).

Add searches , venting a real problem with high rise , and accountabilty.

I noticed Mount Vernon was not mentioned which makes sense since were going backwards with a " when and if it happens attitude " .

2006 and a 1960's attitude:

New Rochelle is becoming a department that is growing with there infrastructure and the needs of there members. Safety.

I wish them well.

Engine 3 and 4 came out of 211 So. 4th. Ave. until 3rd st was built, it was there until e-1 went 10-15, then over to oak st.

bottom line 5-engines sometimes 4

2- hurting trucks

Does not matter who's on first,

Anybody see a pattern here.??????????????

Big Al

What does 3rd person mean??????

3rd. f.f. on rig?????

and in Mt.Veron Ladder3 is a rear mount

Ladder 4 is a 1972 Mack

Basement job guys did there regular awsome job and knock it down quickly,

Good job 4 group

Just curious no Mt. Vernon MA , oh never mind I forgot they only receive.

Station 2 only 4-5 blocks away.

Scott how are ya??

I met you a couple a times when you came up so I know who you are.

More important your dad is a first class ( old school ) firefighter and i was lucky enough to be a probie working for him some time ago. Todays guys dont understand the bottom line is in the building.

Thanks for dropping a line and yes 1 truck in service for 2 days and today we caught a job ( small ) on Wildwood. Attic job.

New Rochelle in sta 3 before 4 th. engine on scene. I dont understand how long other cities will keep this cover for Mt. Vernon up but lucky them.

Hey Hudson well said , now we cant hear each other in plain language.

Maybe we could write notes to Newro and send them by birds

First the guy changing his bottle only got dirty because he trip on the curb,

second the 1972 Mack speaks for itself!!!!!!!!

gotta go Hollywood is calling

P.S. 6 didnt realize they lost 5 lenghts down the block

Thanks just did it on the fly, these guys mean a lot to me and I thought they would like a little boost instead of the everyday crap we goota put up with.
