When someone starts a post with "Just curious", how come it is so hard to believe that maybe they are genuinely interested in knowing and looking towards those who were on the scene to say "...it was because...".
Maybe it will allow those without significant fire backgrounds to actually learn something. Maybe someone in the "know" could explain that certain ladders are better equipped for such and such, or certain departments are more appropriate in this situation because such and such...

Cops: Man told troopers he was ill, then jumped off TZB

THE JOURNAL NEWS
(Original publication: June 30, 2006)
TARRYTOWN — A man who told New York state troopers that he felt ill after his car collided with a truck on the Tappan Zee Bridge walked over to the railing and jumped into the Hudson River early today, authorities said.
Rescue workers were still searching the Hudson River for the body in early afternoon.
The man jumped just after 4 a.m. — 35 minutes after he was in the accident with the box truck. State police Capt. Evelyn Mallard said the man leaped while he was being interviewed by a trooper.
Senior New York State Investigator Robert Bennett of the Tarrytown state police barracks said the troopers saw the man jump.
Police believe that they know the man's identity, but they have not released it because they have not contacted his relatives.
No one was seriously injured in the accident, which occurred at 3:30 a.m. when the truck and the man's Honda collided in a northbound lane at the highest point on the bridge. Police were called.
Captain Mallard said a trooper was talking to the man just after 4 a.m. The man had been a little shaken up from the accident, Mallard said. He told police that he felt sick and was about to vomit.
"He did indicate that he was ill," Mallard said.
The man then walked toward the rail and jumped over.
It is not known if the man was intoxicated. He was not under arrest at the time, Mallard said.
The accident was relatively minor, even though there was property damage to the truck and the car.
Police are still investigating, Bennett said. The names of the two troopers at the scene were not released.
Nyack and Piermont fire department divers searched the river after the incident, but did not find the man and ended their search, Rockland fire officials said. In addition, boats from Irvington and Tarrytown assisted in the search.
State police divers were staging their rescue efforts from the Westchester side of the river.
The Coast Guard dispatched a 25-foot rescue boat from Staten Island to direct boat traffic away from the search. Petty Officer Angelia Rorison said.
The bridge was closed northbound for a time after the accident.

It was very hit and miss. My father lives about a 1/4 mile from the point and barely had any damage, just winds. They didn't even know what happened til they heard it on the news.

Yeah I think so... If so I would like to welcome the dispatchers
Four new dispatchers, 649-652, started a little over a month ago.

I do not believe that they have police power in NYS. NYSP cover the NY section of the PIP and I believe NYS Park Police cover the parks that the PIPC operates for NYS OPRHP.That is correct. NYSP Troop "F" Haverstraw covers the PIP in NYS.

GOSHEN — A Florida couple was injured this afternoon when the helicopter they were riding in crashed in a field just off Route 17A.
Goshen Police Sgt. Matthew Imperio said the pilot, Gerard Legault,61, and his wife, Aurore Legault, 59, suffered head and leg injuries and were taken to Orange Regional Medical Center in Goshen.
Gerard Legault, 61, was able to use the wind to stabilize the chopper on its way down, Imperio said. The helicopter went into a spin just before hitting the ground about 2:40 p.m., he said, and broke apart upon impact.

The*** has great legislative news for our members - the Senate and the Assembly have passed the “blue light bill.†The bill was sponsored by Sen. Nick Spano and Assemblywoman Joan Christensen. We are thankful that members of the New York State Legislature recognized the value of this bill, passed it and agreed to send it to the Governor, who will decide whether the bill is signed into law. This bill would authorize police vehicles to display blue lights; a combination of blue and red lights; or a combination of blue, red and/or white lights. The blue light or lights would have to project toward the rear of the police vehicle, and such lights could be displayed when the vehicle is engaged in an emergency operation.
The *** has been pursuing this legislation since the horrific death of one of our own members, ***, in December 2002. *** was completing an accident investigation in a Ford Crown Victoria parked along the shoulder of the *** when an uninvolved sport utility vehicle crashed into the rear of the patrol car. The patrol car burst into flames.Since then, the *** has been working to educate members of the New York State Legislature about studies that have shown that blue lights attract the attention of drivers better than any other color. In this way, blue lights, in combination with the current emergency light configurations, would further enhance the safety of *** and all law enforcement officers.

State trooper OK after serious crash on I-87
By ERNIE GARCIA
elgarcia@lohud.com
THE JOURNAL NEWS
(Original publication: April 29, 2006)
A state trooper responding to an accident lost control of his cruiser and crashed into the median of the New York State Thruway between exit 13 and 14 in Rockland just before 10 this morning.
Police said the accident occurred when a left rear tire blew out. No other car was involved.
Trooper Randy Smith, reached at the emergency room at Nyack Hospital shortly before noon, said in a brief telephone interview that he was "all right."
Sgt. John Antonelli said Smith was initially unconscious at the scene but regained consciousness at the hospital.
Smith was heading south on the Thruway with his lights on when he lost control about a half-mile north of exit 13, where the Palisades Interstate Parkway connects with I-87. It appeared as if the car hit the median head on — airbags deployed and heavy damage was concentrated in the front section.
Despite the damage to the car, Antonelli said Smith was not driving at a high rate of speed because of heavy traffic.
Police shut down all but one lane on the southbound side of the Thruway, causing major delays. Rubbernecking on the north side was also causing backups.

13-year-old girl found after Ramapo abduction
By CATHERINE L. FOLEY
THE JOURNAL NEWS
(Original publication: April 24, 2006)
A 13-year-old girl was found in the trunk of a stolen car in Spring Valley this evening, hours after being abducted outside her home as she got off the school bus, Ramapo police said.
The girl, Mara D. Downes, apparently was in good health when she was found on Homer Lee Avenue about 6:20 p.m. but was being checked out by paramedics. Police were called after a car matching the description of the one driven by the three masked teenage suspects was spotted.
A police SWAT team and a chopper were searching the area around Homer Lee Avenue in search of the suspects.
Magguy Eugene, 42, who lives across Trinity Avenue from the girl's house, said she had gone outside to get her mail when the school bus came and the girl got off.
"The two guys get out from the car and they grab her," Eugene said. "She was screaming, 'Help me! Help me!'
"I saw them fight to put her in the trunk," she said. Eugene immediately called 911 to report the abduction.
Ramapo police issued an Amber Alert and closed off part of Trinity Avenue as they interviewed neighbors and other witnesses.
The car was reported as a silver and gold four-door sedan 1997 Toyota Camry with New York license plates, reported stolen earlier this month from a gas station in Ramapo.
"I was saying," Eugene recalled, "'Oh my God, the girl, what are they going to do with her?"
A computer, digital camera and other equipment were taken from the girl's house by police after the abduction.

Anybody know what kind of car he was driving. I bet its a nice car considering he is from Greenwich, he'll get away with a slap on the wrist. They should impound his car and sell it.2003 Acura 3.2CL

I've always felt that the phone is a more appropriate venue for calling in and out of service for fuel/training/etc.
Yes/No?
Also, in the age we live in, how come message paging/email/etc cannot be used for meeting/parade/etc announcments, in place of your primary dispatch frequency. Any agenies utilize those alternatives versus tying up 46.26?
