  1. Test results are available to county employees, and I did the math
  2. A lot of people (groups) have been starting up Facebook groups for thier counties and posting incident alerts in them. It's allowing buffs to see what's going on and it is also allowing the public to find out about stuff. Most sites keep it to fires, mva's and serious traumas. The ones I've been to usually stay clear of law enforcement issues. So lets make a list of groups so others can discover them. Dutchess County Fire/Rescue Services Dutchess County Fire wire Ulster County Fire/Rescue Incidents Orange County Fire Media Orange/Sullivan/Ulster Fire/Police Buff Group
  3. It's truly up to the page operators to monitor and control the information displayed on FB. A lot of this is common sense that most people follow. Names and facts are generally not posted until it's in a local paper, but yes you can have an idiot make a comment about it with personal information. This is where the board ops. have to use their heads and remove it ASAP. Bottom line no one truly "police's' these sites unless an issue arises.
  4. The upper middle part of the state took a tremondous pound from the rain storm last night. the govoner has declared a state of emergency for multiple counties All arease boarder the I-90 & the Erie cannel Fort Plain NY I-90 Utica NY Herkimer NY Photo via web by Jeannette Webb
  5. If that's the case diesel is a heck of a lot cheaper than aviation fuel... Load & Go don't sit & play a problem that is created when when the bird is called on every other call and not just the right calls, people forget how to transport in an ambulance. Some countys have the medevac on initial dispatch based on the type of call. ex. a rollover.
  6. That has got to be one tired finger after it's all on.
  7. My department utilizes dry reels with 1 3/4 on it. It's great for BS fires with limited manpower
  8. All results are out Firefighter test 0 got 100 32 got 95 105 got 90 110 got 85 Firefighter/Paramedic test 0 got 100 2 got 95 5 got 90 8 got 85
  9. I love this comment "Borough Administrator Jack Terhune and the Borough Council Fire Committee released a statement that said only firefighters will be allowed at the firehouse. And they can only be there to respond to emergencies or maintain equipment." So lets not allow people to "hang out" aka man the station so the response time is extended, good decision see you in court when my house burns down and it took too long for firefighters to respond because they were not allowed to be @ the station. (I do not live there just using that as an example). What don't we know about this situation? --------------------------------------------- As far as the descrimination comments, unfortunitly you can't deny a person volunteer membership due to a disability however you can limit the activities they are allowed to do. If you have rules that a person must complete mandatory training and they don't do it you have an excuse to remove them.
  10. However you feel it's called "Discrimination" and it's illegal. Only a Arson check is allowed unless the application asks if a criminal background check may be performed, similar to a job application. As far as I am aware unless you have a conviction for arson, sexual predator or violent felony you cannot be barred from joining a volunteer department If the person was a guest why wasn't he supervised???
  11. Can you please fill us outsiders in on what your talking about? I am assuming based on what I see is that some officers walked in and were overcome by CO

  13. Smwells - lightbars are over priced. the individual lights are less maintenance Eli, Definitely great shots considering there was very limited room to take shots.

  15. From www.recordonline.net From Lifenet NY Facebook (Goodwill FD at Landing Zone on the westboud span) It's a good thing the local High Angle rescue teams practice off these bridges
  16. Marlboro went to Middle Hope St. 2 for stand by
  17. Why were people allowed to occupy the building during the demolition of the attached building. Apparently a proper inspection wasn't done and protection wasn't properly put into position.
