If they were going to go to the nearest level 1 from Brewster wouldn't that be Danbury?
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.

repacking over 1000' of forestry hose if not on a reel would not be fun.
That has got to be one tired finger after it's all on.

My department utilizes dry reels with 1 3/4 on it. It's great for BS fires with limited manpower

The Leonia FD is back open at 8 am today:
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.
-
what is the deal with even letting someone with obvious and well known developmental disabilities which would most likely preclude them from ever serving as a firefighter apply. Volunteer companies need to realize once and for all that they are not social service agencies that exist to make people feel good about themselves. The job of the officers is to recruit firefighters, not to let someone hang out and be a danger to themselves or others.
Indeed. really wish I could openly debate this here.
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???

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

Marlboro went to Middle Hope St. 2 for stand by

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.

Tony Adamis, managing editor The Daily Freeman responds to complaint
Who exactly is a paramedic who drives an ambulance?Some of our readers have taken great offense to the headline to a story in our Sunday print edition, which read: ‘Ambulance driver badly hurt in crash: 3 others injured in head-on crash’
The story, accompanied by a photo of the badly crumpled front of the ambulance, went on to describe how the ambulance, driven by paramedic William Spadafora, had collided Saturday morning with a pickup truck on state Route 32 in the town of Ulster.http://tonyadamis.blogspot.com/2013/05/who-exactly-is-paramedic-who-drives.html

Scaffold Collapse Newburgh-Beacon Bridge workers hang from safety ropes
Awesome job by their coworkers! *Check your safety equipment often*
Scaffolding under Newburgh-Beacon Bridge gives way, men OK
BEACON – Two men working for a painting contractor for the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge escaped injury Tuesday when the scaffolding they were on under the westbound span of the bridge gave way and they safety harnesses they were wearing kept them from plunging into the Hudson.

Corrected MOS' name to Gremmert.
The hearts of the entire EMS community are with the family of Irene Gremmert at this time of loss. Irene was an amazing mentor, marine, preceptor, paramedic, but most of all an amazing friend to many of us. Rest easy we will take it from here.
