    I think he was a former member of the Waverly Engine Co 1 Eastchester Volunteer Firefighters.

    Yes, I have also heard that there are issues with the Volunteer FF's in Eastchester, with allot of 'Smoke' (excuse the pun) coming from within the Eastchester Board of Fire Commissioners concerning the Volunteers. Would be nice for these 2 factions (Volunteers and the EBOFC) within the Eastchester Fire Department, to be able to resolve their issues/disputes, to allow for the Volunteer Side of the Department, to once again, 'compliment' the Paid Side of the Department (as it was years ago), and then, possibly, the FDMV (Mount Vernon) could learn a thing or two on how to utilize a Volunteer Staff to suppliment the Paid Staff (instead of always calling on Mutual Aid).
    Watching Winters and Lore go at it, each and every Board Meeting, on TV, is like watching a WWE Championship Wrestling Match - LOL : )

    Station 4 is the home of Engine 30. With that there are two career staff stationed there 24/7. The upstairs is a meeting room where the volunteers as well a various public oginizations hold meetings. The room with the bar etc is the quarters of the Union Corners Engine & Hose Co. Which is the volunteer company quartered in the house. Yes, the volunteers are in a sad state. Would be great to see them rise again. This station is vital to the Chester Heights section of Eastchester in which it is located. New Rochelle road has a very high traffic level which would slow Eng 27 coming from the center of town or Eng 29 coming from Bronxville. this firehouse provides quick response for EMS and all fire emergencies to Chester Heights.

    Nothing against TFD getting this grant, but the bridge does nothing for N.R. we do not import workers or make products the City of NR is mostly residential and our population tends to commute out to work.
    The Bridge is a major part of Tarrytown (& Nyack) they do not pay taxes to support local emergency services, but they are a big user of those services (yes NYSTA pay a small stipen, but it does not cover the cost of the service provided), the building of a new bridge will increase the requests for emergency service, so this is a nice way of compensating TFD, TVAC and others.

    To answer your question, the house is literally feet away from the Yonkers border. One side of the street is Hastings but across the street is Yonkers. Very happy to see everyone working together, regardless.

    It was a nice evening and the weather was perfect after the heavy rain we had enroute to the training center. The sky was awesome. Again thanks Bill for allowing us out to help out and for me to take some shots. Spanky Dean you make us proud, even if they call you smurf at class.

    Army Trucks are so DC 911 can deploy Troops from the Command Post...ok not true, lolololol...but ideal for flooding or bad storms to get the Big DC 911 Wigs around. Great Shots.

    Bill, click the link below, it's the program that is provided here on BRAVO to reduce the size of the pics so they don't take up some much storage space, part of the program allows the user options of different effects, the program is Irfan View, hope this helps and thanks for the kind words, still trying to figure out the new camera, making strides, umm maybe baby steps is more like it.
