Danger

You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little f'ed up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to f------' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?

you keep this up, i'm gonna climb a ladder and get the hell out of here :angry:

I signed up for this. What a great career.

the ROCK does it all, let's just leave it at that

There is no "heavy rescue" assignment per se. Any sort of extrication/rescue is handled by the truck companies I believe. There's always AFD with a staffed full heavy rescue down the road. I've heard talk of it possibly going in to service as front line, but who knows until I see it.

I hate you Donald Robison!

Great shots. Rumors are that this was a storage garage for classic hot rods, and that the owner managed to rescue most of them. Was this 41-11's first fire?

Maybe it was just a bad taste from the commercial I worked for, but I don't think I could work EMS again anywhere, especially NYC even if we got paid the same as the fire side.

When 911 was coming in to play, a few departments decided they didn't want to participate. EFFD still gets polled from County, they just don't advertise it. However, City and Town of Poughkeepsie and I'm pretty sure City of Beacon do not get called from County. When someone dials 911 for a police matter in those areas, the caller is transferred to their own dispatch. Which I'm sure has it's pros and cons.

Well, all I have to say about that is IBEW 1320! Screw them!

There still is quite a bit of training up there. I signed up for a live fire weekend there a few weeks from now. From what I've heard, there is also a lot done by various SWAT teams including something federal- FBI/Secret Service etc.

Full time only, mid 10's

Poughkeepsie is doing interviews now, don't think theres open spots on 3rd, just 2nd.

Poughkeepsie or East Fishkill?

just an all blue whelen slimlighter, only used it maybe a handful of times

Anyone know why it is a different color scheme than the Tech Rescue Squad?

I think that came with the black roof

Blue is probably because it belongs to the District Chief (or is it Captain) of EMS. Ambulances are white and blue, why not match...

Arlington High School, 1300 corridor, Mr C's class. We all said it was an accident, a small plane. Bell rang and walked to the next class. Walked in just in time to see the next plane hit. Spent the rest of the day watching. One of the teachers said it was "nothing" and turned off the TV and recited irrelevant lectures. How could you not watch the most important event of our lifetime? When they fell, I still had my youthful naiveté..."Everyone got out" I wasn't too stupid to know that nothing would ever be the same.

Los

Angeles Fire

Department Paramedic Captain who flies helicopters for the Department.

Wow, he sure has some imagination! I wonder if he ever moonlights on the weekends as a astronaut/cowboy.

With all of those retired ambulances and the fact that the district's current two are always in and out of service, wouldn't it have been wise to perhaps keep one as 39-73 as a spare and/or for standbys, etc?

In addition to the above comment about the Emergency Control team in Poughkeepsie there is another team at IBM's Fishkill facility that at one time ran with two engines, a utility and an ambulance (that's going back about ten years).

IBM POK E/C had two engines, a rescue, a mini pumper/utility and an ambulance at one point, but as the mother company downsizes...

Listening to Mobile Life's frequency, you always hear their paging system which is on the same frequency and they call a "code 99" for almost everything trauma related...that helps build up the numbers

Well yeah, I've brought patients in BLS for a fall and it somehow gets 99ed

I work for IBM Emergency Control. I'm not sure about what Westchester has, I'm assuming the Somers site. We have a 24-7 staff of Firefighter/EMTs trained in Haz-Mat and Confined Space rescue. We also issue CS permits and perform inspections and tests of fire alarms, sprinkler systems, hydrants, etc. Apparatus-wise, we have an engine 97-11, fly car 97-67, utility 97-69 and haz-mat trailer 97-97.

When a department is assigned that number it "usually" has no direct affiliation with NYSP other than being dispatched by them.

NYSP does not staff the vehicles, the jurisdiction that the number is assigned to is responsible for that.

Interesting. I figured there had to be some sort of arrangement like that. I couldn't picture a State Trooper in a local PD uniform/car.

I don't see any fault on the Yankees' part here. Walk in to any urbanwear or hat shop and you can find Yankees hats in literally hundreds of patterns and colors. It's easy that any NYY exec would easily rubber stamp this unknowingly.

I see the plate has 7K2##. That is the designation for NYSP affiliated local PDs. Anyone know of any relation?
