    Katonah carries a full set of high pressure airbags,

    a large assortment of composite cribbing,

    and a set of 4 Res-Q-Jacks with all of the parts that go with them.

    we have used our ram to lift different things as well.

    We almost never use the airbags on a scene though. all of this equipment is on Rescue 17.

    We did get verry lucky... not a drop of rain :D:) but not a great turnout. Alot of the departments didnt show :( or they didnt bring the whole department for some reason or another. unfortunatly a little boy got hit by a car right next to the parade route. :( katonah fire department, and Katonah- Bedford VAC reponded extreamly quickly. I think he just got off with a broken arm and some bruises.

    Over all it was a great and dry parade and all of the departments did great

    thanks alot to everone that showed up!
