    Just remembering my early days with OVAC when I joined as part of the Explorer program and we started riding the rigs at age 17. Back then it was the two cadillacs and there was nothing, and I mean nothing like sitting shotgun with either Frank Vasallo, Sr. or Walt Cassisi driving down Croton Avenue to Hubbells Corner, against traffic with the Federal Q pinned.

    I never got to drive the OVAC caddies, but I did the BMFD caddy. Those were rides.

    Frank Vassalo...Wow, havent heard that name in forever. Had the gas station out towards 133 on Croton Ave, right?

    Hello All. I'm new to the board but have enjoyed this site for a while. My question is if anybody knows of any old rescues still floating around the county or has any photos of them.

    I know of Ossining's old Ford that served as Rescue 14, the former North Tarrytown Rescue 12 that was a GMC, the Peterbilt? that served Eastchester. Any other good ones/interesting ones? Thanks.

    Pale in comparison, but i got a call from my sis in NY a while ago asking me what the name of the school my kids go to.....2 schools locked down due to student with a gun. the things that go thru your head until you find out where it's happening......i don't wish that on anyone. My heart goes out to all in PA, as well as the parents here still waiting to hear from their children.
