  1. Greenville Fire District, as we know it, would by state law cease to exist. The commissioners would no longer be in charge, the village would now be in charge. Unless Greenville, Fairview, and Hartsdale became one, then the village could be part of that district simular to what happened in Pelham whe. The 2 villages became 1. The district folded
  2. Nysdot in the process of testing them on I84

  7. that is such a true statement if its that big it will be there when you get there I always say so take your time your'e no use dead
  8. very nice pictures and I hope you can attend and film the 100th Carmel anniversary parade on august 22nd around 4pm start
  9. I have to admit when i first got my blue light it gave me a false sense of power or authority but as i got older i realized that its nothing more than courtisity today i hardly ever use it going to a fire call , its used to get though a fire line or police line to let them know who you are not so you can run red lights all that does is get you and others hurt. If the fire is that big it will be there when you get there look at warwick 7 alarms later and a day later its still there . I do find myself using the blue light to let others who maybe responding to calls behind me that i am one of you so please donot pass me if you really think you can get there before I will let you pass but you will have to wait for me anyway either I am driving or filling out the crew . what did you gain by passing by me and I see guys with all these lights in the grill on the sunvisor even a light bar sometimes responding from 2 towns away why ??? again if its that big it will be there when you get there !!!!!!!!!.

  11. here i have another one back in the (1975) when i first joined the fire dept and i heard the whistle from the other side of town i counted out the box it was 512 i think i toke off in my car blue light on and had to pass the firehouse on my way to the scene which i did as i went by the fd there was a couple pof guys sitting on the bumper of the engine on the apron i wondered why they were there and not responding so i turned around and wenT in the back door of the firehouse only to find out the whistle i heard was larchmonts who had a brush fire at flint park not our district boy did i feel stupid i was the joke for a few years i miss that whistle
  12. heres a good one when i was new at the TMFD back before the fire house was remodled and 2 bays added on we would hang out down in the club room when an alarm would come in you would run for the sairs which were right next to the kitchen on the left side of the door well in 1995 the fire house renovations were finished and to the members old habits were hard to break well when the alarm would sound everyone would run for the stairs and for a long time months probably we would forget they were moved to the back side of the room no longer next to the kitchen that was now a wall well you can guess the rest "bang"
