  1. Many houses in the Bedford Hills/Mt.Kisco area seem to be pretty more christmas oriented as they have been in the past. Alot more houses are starting to pop up with those blow up figures in their front lawns around the area. Seth defiently take a ride around the elementary school area in Bedford Hills. Hopefully the christmas cheer around this area will brighten up your holiday spirit. Also, check out the house behind the bedford highway garage on Adams St. alot of holiday figures and christmas lights.
  2. In Bedford Hills we have a huge 12ft tall air-blown snowman geeting people at the front door which is facing towards downtown bedford hills. Also, the tree in the parking lot is decorated with multi-color lights.

  4. Almost every department in Westchester has a Thermal Imaging Camera and some have multiple's in their department. What do you think about this technology which was developed. I love the thermal camera, however you cant use it for everything. My dept. has an Bullard MX camera and i personally believe that its a great camera. Has any1 experienced any problems with TIC's, or have any other input on the camera's

  16. Nice... That’s what the 1st set of Power-Hawk extrication tools in the county that I know of. Defiantly sounds like you guys put a real good hard effort into this truck...I cant wait to see it when it finally comes to Somers.
  17. Any Pre-Connected front bumper extrication tools or just a normal set up off one of the sides of the truck. Also, I assuming that Rescue 20 will be assigned to Lincolndale fire house, since 183 which is the rescue-engine is currently assigned their and is being replaced with this new rescue

  23. Tower Ladder 57's motto "Soaring Above The Rest" is on the bucket underneath the two deluge guns
  24. Engines should defiently have a CO or Multi Gas dector since their usually running 1st to co or gas investigations. Also, a hydra-ram would be a good tool to have on an engine to use for forcible entry, incase the truck doesnt get on the road due to manpower limitations that some departments suffer. Personally, i like the idea of having FAST equipment on a truck, but it can be done by an engine, rescue or utility. A well spec'd rig can carry as much equipment as needed, and laddering a fire building incase a rapid escape can be accomplished by 1 apparatus if the FAST truck is a ladder, which will have numerous portable ladders. I like Larchmonts theory of using the Rescue as their FAST unit because it also provides a cascade system at fire scene, which is always needed.
  25. I just tried the banksville audio and none of its working.
