  1. Look Torre was a good manager, but the TEAM makes the manager. METS SUCK, GO YANKS
  2. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Morelli Family God Bless
  3. Pleasantville uses it 24/7 my opinion is leave em running, whats wrong with a second notification, there have been many times when Im cutting grass using the blower and dont hear the pager go off, but I can hear the horns 5x major 3x minor. For the people in the village that are against them, I bet they wouldn't mind it if there was a fire at their house

  5. My thoughts and prayers go out John Martinson and his family, God Bless
  6. Hotels are down right nasty, I bring at least my own sheets and pillow case. Who knows where that pillow was last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
  7. The bags are great ideas, but where do you keep them, on the racks. I hate stuffing to many extra things into my gear tends to get to bulky
  8. I agree, it should be more a part of training. Especially if you have certain areas that have no hydrants. We actually just spoke about having a large scale drafting and relay pumping drill in the near future, so any depts around Pleasantville let me know if your interested. Email me at ascopino@pfdny.org
  9. Go chief, protecting your department. You can tell News 12 is backpedaling
  10. Took about 2 years to get our Ferrara's in decent shape. Customer Service was terrible
  11. Overrated and overpaid, Don't let the door hit your a** on the way out LATER
  12. Seth I couldn't agree with you more, I worked the open house for the Power Dept. A few bad apples shouldn't spoil the bunch. There definately were a few obnoxious railfans who thought they knew it all about everything. For the most part though I certainly saw more of the families and definately more kids than anything else, but again I was behind the displays all day and not mingling with the crowd. Believe me most of the employees at MNRR know the rude and annoying types as soon as they open their mouths, but love working the open house as much as people love coming to it
  13. I'll be working it, see you guys their
  14. Heard the same thing. Sept 10th from what I hear the system is going to be easy to use
  15. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of both FDNY FF's
  16. I'm with you, anything having to do with hoselines is an engine responsibility, keep the rest in service for life and property, plus most towns have 2 or 3 engines but only one rescue
  17. I wonder how many times the words bitches and ho are used in rap songs bought by millions of young kids throughout the world is ????????????? Wonder if Al or Jesse know
  18. In my opinion, I would take the structure fire, your assigned to that call you don't know if anyones trapped, water situation in the area, exposure problems etc. Plus there should be other rigs on the road. Radio in the MVA.
  19. Anyone know of any video sites of the implosion, It seems they dont show that stuff anymore. I'd be cool to watch. Hats off to those guys, I think its amazing these guys can drop a 20 story building into itself. Its an art.
  20. I agree, with what happened with that certain dept and it was a great call by the cheif. I sometimes think though, that to many depts are getting called to one scene. I understand the situations in the daytime, but the evening should be a different story. I mean at 8pm you have a room and contents fire in a hydrant area, do you need 4 or 5 other depts involved or just yours and a FAST. All I'm saying is that I think Mutual Aid is sometimes getting out of control. What do you guys think?
  21. My opinion is I'd rather have more warning lights than audibles, I mean a Federal and an electronic siren as well as air horns should be more than enough to grab attention from motorists. That said no matter how much stuff you have on your rigs you cant be blowing through intersections anyway, there has been many times I come up to an interesection with everything on and people still dont get out of the way or pull over. I guess its the deer in the headlights syndrome. Plus officers cant hear whats going on over the radio when your trying to deafen everyone. I guess everything in moderation.
