I'm wondering if that is a cistern or other drafting hydrant with a pump connected to it. Or it could be a booster hydrant used to pump into and boost pressure in a hydrant system. Have to look that up. very interesting.
Can I use your photo to post it up on another site to ask for some information?

Nice to see the new building going up pretty quick, definitely its going to be a 100+ year structure.
For those who done know, HQ is actually Station 2, the "temporary" Station 2 is the Maintenance facility that was built withing the last 10 or so years. I had heard they did some quick renovations so that HQ's apparatus and some offices could be there. The Norwalk guys could tell you better information.

Hey all, I got a message through the old IPBoard app on my iPhone that they have a new app for upgrading. The old app is no longer supported and the new app is free for download. Just wanted to pass the information along.

I'm a non-seafood eater............but if the men know i'm working, they will always buy me a chicken cutlet. And in the meantime, i'm still helping prepare the fish meal...........it's never been a problem..........and i'm not the only one who doesn't eat fish in the firehouse.
The men are ALWAYS accomodating!!!!!

Most of us on the job recognize the "6 companies in 8 years" as a big red flag. I fear that a judge will interpret this differently and say it is a widespread prejudice against vegetarians, with FDNY ignoring the problem.
A guy who transferred that much should be scrutinized in his bid for Lt. Something is wrong.

...ya know, bread and fry a sponge with the rest of the chicken parm!
On a serious note: we regularly TRY to accommodate everyone, and for less serious issues than being vegetarian. If a few fish haters are working we don't get fish.....
.....6 companies in 8 years is a sure sign of a problem child.

Just spike the leftovers once, and it will never happen again.

Been in 6 companies in 8 years. He's a problem we've had brothers who are vegetarians and have accommodated them with no problem he must of done something to piss the brothers off

That's the problem right there................6 companies in 8 years..............OBVIOUSLY he has a very hard time getting along with others.............This is a NON-STORY!!!!!!

This article is an embarrassment to the job and more so to this disgrace of a firefighter. The article would have you believe that this is a dietary issue and that the other firefighters are making him feel like an outcast because of his dietary choices. I've never worked in that firehouse, but we all know what the firehouse kitchen is like. The kitchen is sacred in the firehouse. It's where a group of firefighters, working together for 24 hrs, come together as a unit, cook and eat. Everyone coming together is key to the cohesiveness of the firehouse. Not everyone likes what is put on the table every night and no one is forcing food down your throat. Plenty of people I work with don't eat shellfish or cheese and some guys ARE cutting down on their meat intake for health reasons. That's fine, but everyone still pays and everyone still cooks. If nothing else, it's a highly important symbolic activity. We have a rule, if you're "out on the meal" then that's it, you're out.
Don't be fooled by the NY Post rhetoric or this guys nonsense story. The trouble didn't start because one person decided to change their diet. It began when that one person decided that the whole firehouse and a sacred aspect of it's culture had to change for him. We drill together, we laugh together, we eat together and we put ourselves in harms way together. You can't shun one of those things and expect everyone to maintain the same level of respect for you.
If any serious credence is lent to this story, it will be one more slide down the tube for society.

The computerized dispatch is also being used in Branford, CT also. This is not going to replace the dispatchers' job; this is just a newer pre-voice alarm that as soon as the call is entered into a CAD, the type of call and the units responding are announced. then the dispatcher gives all the vital information, location, ect. This conforms with the "Class A" type of dispatching. The whole idea of this new is to improve and shorten the dispatch time.
This is similar to the voice alarms FDNY uses in their stations (aka "ENGINE", "LADDER", "SPECIAL UNIT"). It is just sent out with tones and the announcement (or per-announcement before the actual dispatch) over the department radio / dispatch channel.

It's sad to hear SFRD is going through this with their apparatus, especially with R-1. But unfortunately may manufacturers trying to sell the lates and greatest thing since scliced bread without proper oversight of the construction process. Too many manufacturers don't put the quality and pride in building thier apparatus and just want to pump trucks out.
I hope everything works out for the guys and girls in Stamford with getting the Mack up and running again and eventually leading to a new piece of apparatus.

I remember it well Izzy

Sleepy Hollow will be officially donating the former Engine 87
Stay tuned for press release.

That's awesome!

Sleepy Hollow FD is in the process of donating there 1991 E One Pumper to the Department

Let's be clear: SFRD Rescue 1 is/was an HME not a KME? Some post seem to blur the lines a bit?

LA County Fire has 200 rigs from KME as of now. In the begining they had nothing but problems (ie) keep machanics employed. So KME worked with county and now they are better but still have many issues.
