Great news

RIP brother

Seth, first thank you for the kind comments. Motivation is something you have to find within. I have found what keeps me motivated is the life I am living now as opposed to only a few months ago as well as a huge reduction in the medications I was taking especially insulin which I am off. I can say with all honestly if you don't address your health now you will have to address it later. There is an old saying" people who don't find the time now to be healthy will have to find the time later to be sick".

Recently losing 110 lbs and developing healthy habits, I have become passionate for health and fitness as well as an advocate for firefighter, ems, and law enforcement health and wellness. As a health coach and in the process of obtaining my personal trainer certificate, I would like to share fitness ideas with others. What are members doing to obtain optimal health? Cardio? Weight training? Both? How much time do you dedicate to working out? What about diet? What are you eating? Do your departments have exercise facilities or gym memberships? Do we overlook our own health and wellbeing as we care for others?

"Until you walk in the shoes of the incident commander you really don't have a clue about the initial size up and consultations that were occurring during the incident in question. " Bingo!!!

RIP

He was an inspiration. May he rest in peace

Is there still a critical incident stress debriefing team in Westchester?

Thanks everyone

I am trying to locate the present Westchester County towns and villages police eligibility list for the exam that was given in 2012. Thank you in advance

RIP Chief

Never forget

Congress is nothing more then a greedy crime family

Given the circumstances they get a by. Sounds like he was calling for a line and it wasn't coming fast enough. I think we all have been in situations where the last thing we are worried about is our language. What is important is they got the job done and went home to their families

Knowing people personally in similair situations this is both sad and also a burden on the FD who I am sure responds with the greatest of professionalism regardless of how many times they are called but this doesn't seem to be emergency requests rather routine calls and now with this being made public how many more people are going to call for lift assists because they know when they come the FD will come.

Shameful

I rode the tailboard for many years until 1991 and though I will admit I miss that era and everything about it looking back it was dangerous and to hear there are some today still riding it like mentioned above is unbelievable that it still exists to some capacity

I could see how the term "move over" could be misconstrued

I usually do not respond to comments like this but I have to say it was uncalled for. I can assure you that this FASNY member does not want to see anyone lose jobs.

I sure hope not I hate to see people lose their jobs

This attack on cops as well as the blatant lawlessness has to stop.

When I worked for the corrections department the first thing the inmates wanted when they were booked into the system was methadone. The policy was they had to wait 24 hours until they can get it. It is a crutch. I started the job in 1986 and retired in 2011. Many of the same dope fiends coming in hooked on herion were still coming in throughout my time on the job. It just doesn't work.

I say there are alot of clueless radical kids out there that are being misguided and brainwashed in some cases by the schools they attend. If they want to join something that has meaning than why not enlist in the military? Beccome a cop, firefighter, ems? Peace corps? Animal rescue? There are plenty of organizations that can used able bodied and motivated people that don't burn people alive in cages, rape young girls, or behead people.

I sincerely hope this is not true I hate to see people lose their jobs

RIP
