  1. How much and can you just buy one set?
  2. This test covers the Putnam County Sheriff's Office, Carmel Police, Kent Police, and the Putnam County 911 Center (fire, EMS, & PD dispatch). Also EMT's get a $2,000 stipend added to their salary.
  3. Mahopac Falls FD (Putnam) Total: ~825 fire and EMS calls
  4. Arrest records are public documents. Another idea that came over from Revolutionary times to protect the people from being taken away by the State (police) and disappearing forever.
  5. That's what I meant lol.... I'll be there with the soldier in uniform. One of my best friends is coming home from the Army that day and is going to the show. So we are going for him.
  6. This is true. There is a carpenter, a NYC teacher, an NYPD, and two FDNY. These guys are a true blue blooded hardworking band. If you get a chance, see them. I've seen them close to 20 times and each show is better than the last. They always remember where they came from. Not to mention they are hilarious. A bunch of us will be at the Molly Spillaines show on Friday in Mamaroneck.

  8. Seth, It all matters on whether or not Yorktown is a 'Fire District' or 'Fire Protection District'. In a Fire District the fire department is a government entity and be accountable for all their funds to the people of said district. In a Fire Protection District the fire department is technically a private corporation that is contracted by the government to provide fire protection and is provided funds by the government but those funds become the property of the corporation and as long as fire and rescue services are completed there isn't much that can be done besides canceling the contract and finding another whole entity to provide those services. But in my opinion, I believe it is highly irresponsible for the fire department to disregard the obvious will of the people and build the new firehouse, no matter which funds they now use.
  9. Hudson Valley Firemen's Convention held at Lake George. June 18th to June 21st. Dress parade June 20th.
  10. In Mahopac Falls during such storms we take responsibilites for the dry hydrants in our distric and clear those... For the small area of Secor which has pressurized hydrants this is left more to the homeowner... though nobody here does it... I have one across the street and its never clear and most of the time blocked by the 21 y.o. daughter who parks her car there... idiots
  11. I can't mention names or identifiers on here but here ya go: Responding on the odor of gas Chief: XX-X-X to Control Control: Control is on Chief: XX-X-X on scene, nothing showing And a bunch of firemen laughing on the truck
  12. That would actually be the 911 Dispatchers in New York State who continue to be snubbed by the political leaders in Albany year after year. As for the question on whether to volunteer without blue lights: Of course I would still. I joined to help people and be part of something bigger than myself and be part of the American dream which was born on the back of volunteers. But I must take slight insult from the original poster of this forum. It almost suggests that to be a volunteer you must be a buff to want to help others. If anybody should be reprimanded on this forum (cause I know one person has that had commented on this forum) it should be the original poster for asking and subtlely suggesting that volunteers are only worth as much they are given to do their job, when in reality it's the volunteers who will do this for up to 20 years without any compensation at all except for those few parties and fewer saves that we will get in our life times.
  13. It is with deep regret the Mahopac Falls Volunteer Fire Department announces the Line Of Duty Death of Firefighter Robert Johnson. Firefighter Johnson was involved in a fall off a fire engine last fall while performing fire prevention techniques for a school in our district. He had been in a coma since. He was also a retired United States Marine. Arrangements will be posted as soon as I hear them.
  14. Arrangements are as follows: Wake will be held at Joe Smith Funeral Home on Route 6 in Mahopac. Tuesday 7-9 Wednesday 2-4 and 7-9 Firematic procession on Wednesday at 730 in Full Dress Uniform. Funeral will be held at St John the Evangelist Church on East Lake Blvd in Mahopac. Thursday at 9:45 a.m. I would like to express thanks on behalf of myself and the rest of the Mahopac Falls Volunteer Fire Department to those who have expressed their sorrow and offers of help. Thank you.
  15. For me the first dispatch gets all the info, cross streets specific med prob, determinate level; any dispatch after, i say just the dept whats needed and exact address
  16. As a dispatcher for some time now.. I live by one Acronym- KISS- Keep It Simple Stupid- Unfortunately its not lived by many in Putnam
  17. Hey you get any photos of Mahopac Falls. It was a great parade and a great day for one too.
  18. That is correct. In Putnam County we use the ProQA EMD system which after asking certain questions it provides a response level: Alpha- being the least level in which only a BLS ambulance is sent(although it is dispatcher discretion to to upgrade to send a medic. Bravo- BLS & ALS Charlie- BLS & ALS Delta- BLS & ALS Echo- BLS & ALS which is usually Cardiac Arrest or current Choking
