Good luck to the new Commissioner. I hope he comes in and sees how completely understaffed we are. I hope he does his due diligence before he takes the job and will be allowed to get the proper resources he will need. Comm. Kielb stepped down rather then put firefighter and civilian safety second to politics. Good luck in the position.

Why does the City and the press automatically come after our contracts and say they need to be re-negotiated? Let's talk real money and discuss the deals made with developers that continually use high priced attorneys to get the best deal for themselves. No mention of re-negotiating these contracts because those same high priced attorneys would tie the City in knots in a court of law, and the City would eventually lose. When a union threatens the same we are called greedy but when a developer does it, they are just using good business sense. Amicone gave this City away to developers and got squat in return. Yes we get some sales tax but there was no benefit to the City's infrastructure. The people employed are mainly from the Bronx and Yonkers taxpayers get the short end again. Spano should assemble a commission to look into how Yonkers was raped under the previous admin and if they can't file criminal charges then use a publicity campaign to expose the one sided benefits that developers got and what the taxpayer paid. Not really expecting any of these cowards to do anything even close though. Government is no longer about serving people, it is self serving.

I work for the government, I don't get to set the rules. Politicians do that and unions negotiate with those politicians. We have received 0% pay increase over the last 4 years, including these year's proposal, and taxes will have been raised 26% in those same 4 years. Where is the money going, obviously not to the people doing the work but to special pet projects and welfare. So just to be clear we are not the ones that are self serving, we provide a valuable public service. As NYC Medic, I would have thought you would know the difference.

As someone who had a heart attack at 44, I want to tell you that it can happen to anyone. I was 200 lbs and 5'11", no family history but had high cholesterol. I went to the doctor but never took medication for cholesterol. I am now 190 lbs and eat better, snack on fruits alot. Our job is stressful and being in relatively good shape does not cut it all the time. I take meds, work out and go to the doctor and actually listen now. I am self motivated because I never want to go through that again. I hate to run so I try to mix it up alot, one thing I enjoy is climbing stairs in the firehouse, sometimes with the weight vest on. It isnt as boring as running and is actually useful at a job. I was like you in that I needed motivation now I am motivated by fear of it happening again. My Cholesterol has gone from 300 down to 120. It is all a combination of diet, exercise, for me meds, and self control. Everything in moderation now. I have a second chance but I hope that we can get this problem reduced to zero, wishful thinking I guess. Stay safe and listen to your doctor.

George,
Did they cover the chimney and air vent for the waste line? It is hard to tell from just one side of the house. I know the house on VCPA and Loudon St.

We are all brothers, although I never met Rory I feel his family and friends pain. Yonkers lost someone that makes this community and NYC a better place to live. The brothers were there last year in our time of loss, rest in peace Pat, and I only hope that YFD was able to reciprocate some small measure of the support that we received last year. I saw alot of friends from FDNY that I would prefer to see under better circumstances, but it is always comforting to know that no matter where you are, you always have brothers.
