  1. A few yrs ago we responded to a report of structure fire on the boarder of our district we arrived on scene heavy smoke coming from a 1 story commercial building. The paid dept. which we boarder was on scene also and was stretching lines the building was the first building over our boarder. The IC said its ours our chief said ok do you need any assistance they said no we got it. we stayed a few min the fire started to go through the roof the IC called a 2nd alarm then a 3rd alarm. My point is the IC had 25 guys ready to go to work and assist why turn down help that is already there? If I was the store owner I would be really mad that help was turned away because we are not paid and I lost my whole building.

  2. From my expierence (24yrs) the county parade was always judged by Westchester county judges. I have seen the parade judged before (which is you bring your rig up to a site to be judged prior to the parade) or it is judged during the parade so what I'm saying is that the guys that know how the rigs & marching are judged spent a lot of time & energy on cleaning these rigs & all you had to do is clean the driver side of the rig the time that was put into cleaning the rigs was a waste.


  3. Diesel gas leak from generator pump. all engines operating on scene till 17:30.

    Large commercial building lost power & when the generator turned on the fuel line feeding the generator broke. This caused the diesel fuel to spray all over causing a heavy smoke condition no fire. E45 stretched a line assisted by E44 L22 vented the building.
