  1. Outstanding. Saves me some agita, and perhaps some money. Perhaps they will put some MetroCard machines in at big stations like New Rochelle or White Plains or in the NYC Line Stations. I mean, you can get $20 ones at MNRR Stations, but, it would help to be able to refill them. -DA BUFF
  2. Perhaps this is more appropriate for across the way, but, I'm wondering who ran (runs) Ford C model's. I know North White Plains runs twins, so does Pound Ridge. Who else? Thanks. -DA BUFF
  3. Nice Photos!! Although I have to admit, the suction hose looks kinda weird, LOL. You know, Edgewater Park in New York has an Isuzu rig. -DA BUFF
  4. God Bless Captain Pagano's family and Rest in Peace, Brother. -DA BUFF
  5. I have two suggestions as a Midway Point- Perhaps New Rochelle (New Roc City) White Plains, or Mount Kisco? Any or all of those is easy for me to get to (via Metro-North.) P.S. If I could, I'd like to show my photos from the Nyack Chief's Inspection Parade. -DA BUFF
  6. When might this be happening/am I invited? -DA BUFF
  7. You know, there are also Deep Fried Mars Bars. Sold every year on Arthur Avenue, I believe. I guess them Texans will never cease to amaze. -DA BUFF
  8. I have never heard of this book! Perhaps I should get me-self a copy... -DA BUFF
  9. Thanks for the info!
  10. I think this counts as an Engine-Tanker: http://www.nefirenews.org/ne/EastFarmsCTET9.JPG Well, it's called an Engine-Tanker, anyway. Pumps 1500 gpm, carries 2000 gallons, 25 gallons of A and B Foam, and Hurst Tools. The town has a second one of these too. I don't have a photo of that one. Hope this helps. -DA BUFF
  11. I did indeed notice that one Cap! I always wondered about that, especially because Johhny and Roy never had knee length coats. I think LA City FD still does that at non fires, like Technical Rescues. This is downright stupid. Regulation underwear? Maybe if the city was providing UnderArmour as a service, but, this is ridiculous, especially for $16,000. What is this, the QUeen of England's under things? And also, stripping down is a rarity, so far as I know. Them Canadians and their lack of strong unions..... (And if I'm wrong on that front, my apologies.) -DA BUFF
  12. That is a nice floor design. Credit to the members and some fine tile work. Thanks for sharing! -DA BUFF
  13. Obviously, I refer to the Bedford Hills Women's Prison in my title, LOL. I was just curious what other apparatus is run by both facilities. I know that Bedford Hills runs the old Engine 197 as Engine 263?. I was just wondering if Sing Sing had any rigs of their own. I take it also that the Fire Brigades there are run by cross trained Corrections Officers rather than inmates? Thanks. -DA BUFF
  14. Hey Board. I really hate flying (I flew in 2005 for the first time in 5 years) and I'm lookin for recommendations on an Airline towards Jacksonville, FL (preferably, a direct flight.) I know Continental does directs from Newark, what's Newark Airport like/is there somebody who does it cheaper out of JFK or LaGuardia? Any and all help is greatly appreciated. I prefer trains; I've done the train run to Florida round-trip twice. -DA BUFF
  15. Great photos and a Beautiful Pair of Rigs! Any word on what will happen to the old 9-Tower? ANd that is a BIG Aerial Device. Thanks! -Joe
  16. Well, now I'm not interested in Baseball, except who wins the Series, just because I'm something of a sports fan. Time to wait for next year. I really thought the Mets would do it. Hopefully, Steinbrenner will stop eviscerating the Yankees and Baseball will remember small ball and clutch hitting. Ah well. -DA BUFF
  17. AND LET'S GO METS!!!! Bring a Title to New York for the first time in 6 years, and for the first time in 20 Years!
  18. Any plans for the Old Mini-Attack 14? If I had the money, I wouldn't mean picking it up my self! -DA BUFF
  19. LET'S GO METS! Since there are no Dodgers or Yankees to root for. Too bad the Dodgers ain't still DA BUMS in Brooklyn. They were when my Dad was a kid. And he goes back that far. So, LET'S GO METS! MEET THE METS! YOU CAN DO IT!

  21. You're absolutely right, LFDR1. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear, I just meant that Amtraks run along that line. MNRR does indeed own the Right of Way. I'd also like to insert my own answer to the trivia Question, I say the Old Croton North Station. And It is Conrail under contract to the MTA. Before that, the New York Central. -DA BUFF
  22. I concur in that one Res6cue, I'd add, Or anything else that moves! -DA BUFF
  23. Hey all. I was at Katonah's Chili Night Last Year and I had a wonderful time! I was just wondering if the Chili NIght was on again for this year. Thanks. -DA BUFF
  24. Nice Ride! I have one of those myself, except mine's a 40th Anniversary, the top goes down, and I've got 8 cylinders. But the new V-6 is much better than the old! Best of luck with it. You put a light in it, you'll be the new "Ford That Chases Porsches for a Living"! Enjoy her, Mustang Pride forever! -DA BUFF
  25. Hello All. I'm new to the board but have enjoyed this site for a while. My question is if anybody knows of any old rescues still floating around the county or has any photos of them. I know of Ossining's old Ford that served as Rescue 14, the former North Tarrytown Rescue 12 that was a GMC, the Peterbilt? that served Eastchester. Any other good ones/interesting ones? Thanks. -DA BUFF
