TL2L31

I think that until last year, the security really didnt call them unless they were needed. Then all of a sudden something changed. I think it was a state policy changfe or something to that effect . Maybe a Purchase member can give us the exact reason for the change.

Very simple. Port Chester Fd Tower Ladder 2 and Ladder 31. (tl2l31)

That's what is sounds like to me by reading that. Good for them they need it.

I hit reset.

Just kidding (before the whole "typical volunteer" discussion ensues.) I like to keep the heat going in the cab of the rig, and I have 2 pairs of gloves so I can rotate them and try to keep the hands warm.

On a side topic - how do you avoid the excessive dry skin associated with this time of the year? My hands look like hell and I can't seem to come up with a good solution.

Any lotion with aloe works for me.

I remember a tractor trailer rollover years ago in Port Chester on 287E to I 95N. It was the old patrol 4 (Rescue 40) that I think was a 1969 Oren (eng58 can correct me if I am wrong). It had a huge exhaust that could be heard for blocks and we stood next to it to keep our feet from freezing. It might not be the most up to date tool to use , but it sure works!

Great job Tracy and thanks from PCFD!

Bids for "triple combination pumper" for Port chester now being accepted, as per Journal News. Bids will be due by 12/31/07.

I think that might be for the re-bid for engine62.

Well it would be fitting if it's last job was on Poningo St!

We will have to "obtain" another street sign for the new rig.

Thanks for the pics. It might be the last one for L31 since the new one will be here next month.

I like the dots better.

No, but we only hear about incidents when we are called for one.

As long as Santa is a member or employee of the dept and makes the kids smile, I am all for it.

RIP CHIEF

A little strange if you ask me.

Nice rig, good luck.

Not NYS police but Rye pd may be finally entering the led craze. We had Whelen come demo them for our fleet at state contract pricing. They use the Federal Vista which were bought about five years ago and transfered from car to car.

PCFD had a member retire so there is 1 position open

I didnt know that BNN was still an active news agency.

Just programmed it, thanks.

RIP BROTHER

Nice rig, good luck guys.

That is the old ladder 25 a 1975 Seagrave. I dont remember for sure, but I think it was sold at auction in 2001. Ladder 26, the 1955 Maxim/1985 Spartan was auctioned in 2006 and is now in Mass and is for sale again.

This sucks!!!! Cmcast Carmel doesn't seem to carry National Geographic Channel, unless I'm going blind. Anybody else use this carrier?

doc, channel 181

I headed down there yesterday, both nice rigs and well though out. Nice to meet all you down there.

Great talking to you Joe, thanks for coming down. I will give you a shout when Port Chester Ladder 31 comes in . Ed (PCFD and New England Fire Apparartus)

I know the ones on I-287 and I-95 are dispatched by the New York State Police in Albany. They operate 2 trucks on each highway, they are on the same frequency and are call signaled as 601-604. They might also have a spare truck or two. They help at accicent scenes, assist stranded motorist if they can or will call for a tow.
