    ok kentland 33 guys are great guys they know thier stuff.

    GoshenFD to answer your question i know a couple of guys form thier and met them at a show and talked to them and asked them if i could come and ride and they said yes so i go down once every 2 months or so. GoshenFD PM if you want more info

    Affordable housing is not every affordable any way. My old department was looking into getting affordable housing and they found out that only about 2 or 3 people could qualify or it.

    Personally a live in program in such towns as Bedford, Bedford Hills, Somers, Mamaroneck Village, cause they are busy departments. Pleasentville, Briarcliff and maybe Mount Kisco cause they are close to Pace.

    The mainpoint in having a live-in program is creat a great fire dpeartment and get out fast. Which is good for the community. If you had a live in program in a fire department that has a big coverage area then they could get out faster, and also if they run ems it would be easy for to get and they would not have tone out the department over 60 control they would only have to set the house tones off.

    I would like to hear form alsfirefighter and Homer J what thier feelings about live-in program in general and would or could it work in westchester

    How come in westchester their is no live in members departments ?

    First let me start out by saying what a live in member is. You live at the firehouse. You eat , sleep, shower all at the fire house. This ever big down in maryland it is a great idea it helps to cut down response time and also it helps younger members learn more responsablity. I go down and ride with a department in maryland let me tell you it is great.

    Thier are so many benifits to having live in members. One response time will be cut down. Also it will help to to encourage recruitment in your department. I know that in the department that i ride with in maryland and after talking to many other departments that have live-in members that the live-in or bunker crews do not have to pay rent which is huge the only thing is that you have to a full-time job or be a full time college student. Think about all the money that you could save if you did not have to pay rent.

    This would be a great thing to happen to westcheter if we got live-in members or bunker crews plus you could also make one kick a** department to.

    This is just some food for thought.....I would love to hear everyones OWN THOUGHTS about thid

    Engine 454 is a 2003 Pierce/Lance that has a 2,000GPM Pumper with 600 gal. tank and 150 gal. foam tank. The engine has a 150' foam reel w/ 150 gal. foam tank. It carries 1,700' 5" LDH, 3 deluge guns (1 remote controlled, 2 portable).

    Why would you need this many deck guns on a truck. This truck is set up for a defensive ops. This is a great looking engine with a rescue style back. When I saw this truck I thought that it was interesting.
