The gators are from DES and Valhalla and Hawthorne will respond with the units. They are very helpful and saved us a lot of work.

Yes Ardsley is looking into getting a new Ladder. We are looking at many different types of trucks. We want it to have a 100ft stick and a pump so we can still use it as a quint.

World Championship qualifier for what?

We are supposed to now move in within the month or at the latest mid-october. I was in there a couple days ago and it is coming along very nicely. They have a good amount of work to do on the inside but it seems like there are a lot of little jobs that have to be completed. When we get the word on when we can move in I will let everyone know. Should be soon.

I was the pump operator from ardsley on engine 164. from my understanding they used the tankers on midland ave to supply sleepy hollow's tower and engine. i wasn't getting that great of pressure towards the end on the fire. from about 5:30 when i started to about 7 or 8 i was getting great water pressure. i was able to put out about 200 pounds on the 5 inch. then i m guess someone was opening up other hydrants or they were using more lines off eninge 79 and i couldn't get enough pressure from the hydrant so we moved about 400 feet down to the hydrant on benidict. i was getting great pressure from there for bout an hour or so and then i m guessing they started to take more lines off and i was staying constant with about 150 pounds going up to the engine 79. i was in direct contact with engine 79 and we were working together very well to get the most amount of pressure to there rig so that they could supply ladder 37 and engine 80. As far as i know i was the only engine pumping up the main hill to any tarrytown units. i never made it to the top of the hill to see what was going on so i don't know if they were using anymore hydrants. But i would like to thank tarrytown's I.C. and the operator from engine 79 for helping me with good communications so i could try to get them the most pressure they needed.

What did everyone think of the county test?

I wish it was that easy to just do that. Thanks for the help so far and if anyone has a specific program i would love to know that.

How do u make the changes? Do you use a computer program or hand write them in?

Street Maps, hydrant locations and house numbers. Sorry, thats what we call them i bet other departments have there own names.

I am in the Process of updating my departments running books. I was wondering how often you update your books as well as how you do it?

Seth, Get Well soon and I hope everything is ok.

Has anyone ever thought that maybe the information that is said on this board may be a little off. At the incident that HFD23 is talking about not all the M/A departments had all 3 chiefs there. I also think that it is crazy to have 3 cheifs responding to a M/A call. I know that in my department that only 1 cheif goes on the M/A.

Ardsley's first was a reported brush fire that turned into a fully envolved car fire. Came in at around 1700hrs on january 2nd.

Arrowxt, why do you turn your SCBA on in the Truck? I have found that this can lead to more distractions for the driver. If you are sitting in your seat with your belt on you can not really move that much and then the PASS Alert goes off which is really bad for the driver.

Does anyone know what is going on in the area of Sleepy Hollow Country Club? I sow a lot of trucks there? Maybe a car accident?

Thank you. And yes i was in your FF1 class. I know that everyone else on this site would of done the samething, and i would like to say that there were also other citizens there helping as well.

I thought that the DFFD unit was in use and something happened to it. Also, what is the protical about this for the PD? IF you have a someone in the car that you are transporting?

As far as i know, yonkers esu was called before dobbs ferry. My problem is, why would a yonkers cop call there own esu in? There are plenty of other people that can do the same job they did and that are a lot closer. If this accident happened farther up on the Saw Mill, would the yonkers cop still call there ESU in. I think that this was wrong to do. There are plenty of people that are there to help who were closer. I think that if you are out of your reponse area, you should have no right to call your own apperatus in, let the proper people know. Yes, you should stop and help if needed but also, don't take everything into your own hands.

My question about the whole incident is why is yonkers being called up to help. You have 3 other fire departments in this area who are here to help. Another question is, who has control at those scenes does the P.D. or the F.D.?

the line up is at the Concord Road School off Heatherdell. And the finsih is at the Middle School off Ashford.

Reminder tonight at 8 is the big party.

No trucks please we have no room for them. But we are hoping that a good amount of people do show up. We have our drill tonight and we have moved everything out of the old firehouse including the trucks and gear. I will find out about the trucks but I am almost certain it is a no. See you all soon.

The party will start at 8pm. There will be parking behind the firehouse or in the Police buidling lot. If those are full you can park at the bank which is 2 buildings down from the firehouse on the right or where ever you can find. If you have any questions ask them.
