  1. I too think that is pretty cheesy don't know if I will watch it. If you are going to make a "firehouse" type show at least get the Job down (ie no SCBA's in the fire scene) and when they were at the "pin Job" no one had there shelds down too. Chris
  2. well "you get what you pay for" comes to mind, The City residents should fire everyone and start over. On the video that was on the link it sounds like there investiments fell through. Why would a city put all its egg's in one basket and who is going to be held accountable for that mess up. Chris
  3. would he get deported since he is here illegally???
  4. I was with my old Volunteer Fire department from 1996-2007 at that time I quit the department. I am trying to find my LOSAP infomation and penson information from that time period. Would NYS have some central database? I haven't receved any yearly update after I left the department, Do I have to contact them and give my current address for future updates. For example When I was Employed with NYC I got a yearly Pension statement of how much money was in my acct. I tried to google it but couldn't fine anything just companies that do LOSAP programs Thank you Chris
  5. What about 5.11 tactical clothing. I have a few polo shirts and other stuff???
  6. what is shot spotter??
  7. They Just did a story on the Ch 7 news about the shootings. The News stated the shootings were due to a debt between 2 gangs over a dice game.. Mayor mike whats the community of southwest yo to "help" them, however IMO how can the community trust you and help you when you are going to lay off YPD officers??? Chris
  8. When I was in the volunteer service I "had" a blue light and was using it. Then After awhile I stoped. The reason being is I felt it is more of a hinderance and causes panic with other drivers on the road. When The pager goes off The fire will still be there, Getting into an accident you are no help to anyone. Also with a blue light you have to obey all traffic laws. So as you have your blue light on flashing away siting at a red light waiting it to turn green. What good does it for you??? It draws attention to yourself. Stay calm and you will get there.... Chris
  9. I am a city of Yonkers homeowner (Northeast Section) and would have no problem to pay a little bit more money to help out the FD and PD. However, with my property taxes along with the City residency tax that they take out of my check. I think the City should be better alocating the money. Why Should you raise my taxes then cut services. Paying more money for less what's up with that. Or the city should add a line Item per resident "fire/police tax" where they charge x.xx per person for the service and the money goes stright to that instead of the slush fund. What about the city taking over EMS and doing 3rd party insurance billing (I have no idea how it works as empress EMS has with the CIty) So far Nock on wood I haven't needed there services. Just my 2 cents. (or 1.5 after the city takes it cut) Chris
  10. thats really great!! I am guessing that there is no age cut of for the City of San Fran Fire Dept???
  11. I work for MNR and the only people that ride for "free" is MTAPD and Other Police officers, along with MNRR Employee's If you want to ride for free get a job with MNRR. \ It all depends on the conductors that are operating the train, other then that but your ticket, Why should a conductor risk his job and get jamed up just so you can say "I am on the job, and I don't want to buy a ticket". Chris
  12. that looks pretty bad!! with the new tier 6 plan it looks like with the SUNY/ CUNY they are trying to push a 401k style with employer matching if I am reading it right. Can a New employee do both? DB Pension and 401k or 457? Or is it Pick one and that's it?? Chris
  13. With the new Tier 6 plan there is no real incentive for people to work in the civil service field. Also too would there be a rift between new hires and other members in tier 1/2/3/4. In today's world its the I Got mine or I want that! Chris
  14. This is from Wikipedia about the MTA police: MTAPD
  15. I voted 3 times today (my computer, cell phone and g/f cell phone) Have to wait until midnight to vote again
  16. one of my friends has the best jobs being flight paramedic in key west FL he just got his RN degree too
  17. I am in the MA Emergency and Disaster mgmt program,I also added a certificate in Terrorism Studies onto it as well. For Grad school one class will set you back 975 dollars. They also too have the choice to Audit the class too which is only 300 or 400 dollars. The nice thing with APU is you don't have to take the GRE exams. The Grad class range from 8 weeks to 16 weeks. At work they give us 4k a year for school remimbursment each year, So my feeling is let the railroad pay for my Masters. Good luck Chris
  18. voted again for 306. (as a yonkers tax payer need to represent the YFD)
  19. I was also looking into this and with my schedule is crazy, I was looking into getting my masters degree and Check out American Public University/ American Military University. The college is accredided and stuff. There per credit cost is a lot cheaper compared to other online schools. I Tried one class but droped it becuase I haven't been back in the school enviorment in about 10 years. Also With undergrad work with APU the textbooks I think are included in the class fee. If you want anymore info PM me Chris
  20. put it on my facebook page too
  21. from looking at the RAC pictures it would appear it is a mobile water cooler.
  22. Check your inbox Chris
  23. I was looking at the dispatcher jobs that have been posted the past few days and it is sad that they pay so little to start off. In all reality now is someone living in the northeast have a decent way of life without killing themself working Overtime for blood money. Or they have to work 2 jobs in order to achive that. just my .2 cents have a good day Chris
  24. What I really don't understand with people today that it is only a GAME that's all. To beat someone up just wearing a different teams Jersey is beyond stupid. I don't know what else to say but **insert expletives** Chris
  25. How would scanner apps for your smart phone, apply with the above stated law?? Chris
