Spoke to the county and they said that they send out info 10 days prior to the test.

Anyone hear anything more about the test? Like locations?

Chassie is to be completed Friday and shipped from Spartan to Smeal. No Pics yet. Delivery should be end of march or early april

Which rig is the new one going to replace?

Please tell me you took a picture of this. Send it to Astorino!

Couldn't agree more!!!! That's amazing.

West Harrison FD.

402 (No EMS) Highest in Department history. 87 Calls in three days during the March Rain/Wind Storm.

135 were dual Response with Purchase FD. (Anderson Hill Rd. Area, Brae Burn Country Club area, and 684 from Split at 287 up to the Airport, Exit 2.)

Great Pictures Bill!!! Looks like a real tough one to extinguish. Thanks for the pics.

Sorry for the poor quality. Great job by NRFD under tough conditions. Got there as TL11 was venting the roof. Enjoy. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and be safe.

I'm in. Sounds like a very reasonable price!

Congrats Chris! Hope to still see great pictures from the Air.

Isn't Engine 59 from Manhattan? NOW THAT'S MUUUUUUUUTUAL AID! LOL!

133rd street if what i looked up is correct.

Bruce will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends during this difficult time. Rest in Peace brother.

I came across this while looking through the KME website. KME Kovatch Organization will be having an open house with tours of their assembly plant on Saturday July 10, 2010 from 10A to 4P. It says they will have various apparatus on display. With the tour of the plant, if anyone does go, you may see one or more of the several area apparatus that are in production. This does look interesting.

I had the chance to attend this open house/tour about 3 or 4 years ago. This is a great event that allows you to see every part of production from the preplanning stages/drafting to the finished product. KME allows you to go through every building and see the inner workings of their plant. Usually at every building there is a rig being put together, whether it's engine mount, paint, or even the ladder or electronics. There is some demos on pumps and arial devices from what i remember. Usually, all who attend bring their respective apparatus and those too are on display. Plenty of ideas to borrow from other departments if you are thinking of getting a rig from KME.

Condolences to the family of PO Perry and to his WPPD family as well. Rest in Peace.

Thoughts and Prayers are with his Family, both at home and the Eastchester Fire Dept. RIP Brother

Description Of Incident: Officer shot 3X to the abdomen and vest by an EDP. PO transported to Lincoln Hospital and EDP located DOA in an apartment. FPTF

Reporters/Writer: Truck4

News reporting that the Officer shot is from West Harrison. Just wanted to say best wishes for a speedy recovery for this young Officer. Very scary incident that could have been much, much worse.

Bobby is a personal friend of mine and former member of the West Harrison Fire Dept. He was a proud and dedicated member before joining the NYPD. Knowing him, he can't wait to get back to work. Thanks for the thoughts and well wishes. Also, my best to those other officers with him, and to all Police officers, I thank you for what you do each day.

Just heard the NYC Schools are closed tomorrow. 1010wins just reported it and put in on their website.

I actually remember my instructors talking about this a little during my FAST class, sounded like a very interesting and useful device. Do any departments around Westchester with FASTeams have these in operation or have experimented with them?

In West Harrison, we have 3 of them. Two of them are used only at a real incidents. Of course, only one at the scene, and the second is a backup. The third is used for training. We have had the SORD now for about 2 years. It is a great tool to have. Ultimately, every situation is different and you may not always need it. As we have seen though, when you can use it, it's a great tool. Definitly helps the memebers get the person out with less hassel.

I truly enjoy responding up there at 3 AM for wires down during a thunderstorm. It is an interesting place. Most of us if not all of us who lived in town all went up there at one time or another. The best is when a car full of kids drives by the firehouse and asks where is buckout road is.

MY wishes for a speedy recovery!

Lt. Murry, my best wishes to you on a speedy recovery.

My condolences go to the Joyce Family and YFD Family on this terribly sad day. May God grant you strength to get through this difficult time. RIP FF Joyce.

West Harrison has full set of Cutter, Spreader, Rams, combination tool and Air Powered Tools on Rescue 35. Engine 265 has spreader and Cutter. We have a portable unit with Combination Tool on Eng 267.

Glad to hear. This truly has been a long time coming. My dad was a member there when 74 and 75 were brand new. Best of luck to our neighbors from the north.

Hmmm... Let's see, Yonkers calls themselves Marine 1. Now Ossining calls themselves Marine 1. Perhaps the thread on resource numbering is applicable here too. According to the DES listing Verplanck is Marine 1.

What is the response area for this boat?

Chris,

I have noticed Yonkers Marine 1 in a marina in New Rochelle all summer. Is this because of budget cuts that it is not in the water??

Congrats to White Plains FD on acheiving their ISO Class 1 rating recently!!

Are they the first department in Westchester to achieve this?

What does the ISO Class 1 Rating mean?

How does a department achieve such a status?

Thanks
