As a member of local 1971 [ retired ] and a 44 year member of the PCFD . It's not about the firefighters it's about the community we live in and the safety of the residents that now are at risk . Most of you guys know me and know that during my career I had my share of fires over the years many and I mean many that I pulled up to by myself. Many voll pulled lines off my rig and started to attack the fire before the rest of the rigs got there . Now that element is lost We worked together well and that my fellow firefighters is what made our dept work .

It is true and has been coming about for some time . Do any of you guys remember the time when North White Plains had there trouble with there chief , well guess who's chief in Port Chester . Said day for my brothers in local 1971. We are a busy dept with no room for this and if anyone has driven in Port Chester lately you can see the village is booming with new housing

Like what was already said , when I started we had only 2 packs per rig and maybe 20 firefighters to each rig [vol ] and nobody died from lock jaw. As long as they are taken care of and don't share the snot go for it !

Remember what Bnechis said about two year's ago about the cap. FD's and PD's are going to fail and fall by the wayside

The Siccard that Port Chester uses like most has 2 stages. When used to fill trucks it is used in first stage and cannot throw no more then 15 feet.But like the one used in Boston that was used by a pissed off operator that was not using it right at all, and yes sucked up a few shopping carriages along the way

dwcfireman , the S
iccard was bought from the saleman from Siccard after the county turned down the unit. It was bought by the county for the airport [HPN]. Port Chester picked it up at the county garage on Brockway place in White Plains.

Don't worry about where I came from , NOBODY AND I MEAN NOBODY spoke to the board about the jobs but firefighters . The pubic does not care about the jobs and that is my point , all they care about is tax's going up and that's what I meant by not to focus on the guys because they [ pubic don't care ] about the guy's
