  1. it is sad that there has to be a thread about proper etiquette at Firefighter Funerals, members who have been in for 20 years or 2 years you think they would be able to keep it professional for a few hours. We recently buried one of our own senior members and I was surprised at the amount of guys who showed up without ties, wrong insignia, no gloves or no mourning bands. If you cant wear the proper uniform then wear a suit instead. Think to yourself would the guy your honoring show up to your funeral with his uniform all jacked up.

  2. After a Armed robbery occured in Hastings yesterday, How concerned Should residents be? The village that has been known for its low crime rate has experienced several serious crimes in the past few months. Unfortunately it seems that the smaller quiet villages and towns are frequently popping up on the news for similar incidents. I just want to here some thoughts and comments on the recent robberies and crimes in the "quiet places" and how the residents should react, because I fell that some people are still very blind to what goes on.

  3. B1, B2, and the Safety Truck rack up a "ton" of mileage throughout the years that they are in service, despite the outside appearance of looking great (Attributable to the great maintenence staff at the DPW). The Ford Excursion is no longer available and I am sure that YFD specd' out and choose the Pick Up because of its durability in those tough roads in Yonkers.

    good point thanks
