  1. Great shots. Don't see a porta tank or discharges, so wondering about the tanker designation. Did you get any shots of the interior?

  3. http://www.abc15.com...in-green-valley http://azdailysun.co...c9893b23a4.html http://www.gvnews.co...19bb2963f4.html Four civilians and Fire Captain where in a Sutphen Aerial, extending 100' on 45 degree angle, when the bucket suddenly retracted 40 feet. Occupants suffered injuries of which could have been more severe had they not been wearing some type of restraint device. Members may want to rethink or look over SOP's and adjust for always wearing safety restraints when using the Aerial. Also when making a rescue make sure that stokes basket is secured to the bucket. Before the comments start that it was overloaded, in the images it appears to be a SPH100 which has a unique waterway, it has a 1000' weight limit and the Sutphen brochure states a 3:1 safety rating. (Huckbee bolts and box frame.) I would assume the cable was rated for the same. We should hold off judgment of what failed, until after a thorough investigation is finished. Edit: Spell check, so I don't come off as an Illiterate.

  5. I wonder how they will handle the situation when FIre uses an access gate, or will they be required to no longer use them as they need to have accountability.
  6. More importantly you need to wait for that receipt so that you can get that refund. When hard times hit, everyone is looking to pass the buck. I wonder how good collections are on identifying fire apparatus blowing through the easy pass lane with no plates.
  7. I wonder what it feels like to roll up with the wrong POD.
  8. Go Rangers!! What an ending to game 5.
  9. MN Tanker at Croton Harmon Open House 10/2006. I'm hoping someday they resume the open house.
  10. http://scalefirehouse.com/sfh_chat/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=3045 After searching the number, came across Firehouse 66 Inc, then more links with bad reviews, and then a link to bankruptcy.
  11. Nice looking boat, with the new marina, increased activity on the water (Every school these days has a crew team), and the redevelopment of the Poughkeepsie waterfront, I'm sure it will be put to good use.
  12. Interesting read about this topic: Can a homeowner whose house is on fire refuse AMA? The following has a nice list of NYS laws that deal with the fire service. NYS OFPC has link to laws In the above scenario, the homeowner is in violation of 204-e since he has not received permission of the chief, you cannot burn your own property. § 204-e. Unauthorized destruction of property. No individual or corporation having a possessory or proprietary interest in a building or motor vehicle within the meaning of section 150.05 of the penal law shall ignite a fire or cause an explosion in such building or motor vehicle without the prior written permission of the chief of the local department or fire company with the responsibility to respond to a fire call, or the chief's designee.
  13. It appears in the patch as well, company patch not department. My linkhttp://www.nassaufdrant.com/patch-gallery/p2007_sectionid/9/p2007_imageid/255 http://firecritic.com/2011/01/the-elmont-fd-in-long-island-is-under-scrutiny-for-using-the-stars-and-bars/ In a world where PC police go to far, such as removing the Indian mascots from schools that are named after Indians, I feel the confederate symbol is racially charged, and has no place on their patch or the apparatus. If the apparatus image was changed to red, white, and blue and not reminiscent of the stars and bars, I would be fine with that. I wouldn't however accept them disrespecting the American flag as bunker pants either.
