What's a "notable incident"?

How about asking how many times apparatus responded without a full crew of properly trained personnel?

Do numbers tell us anything at all tell us about what we do????

It was still opened. It wasn't not closed. Even on the news cast on Monday morning they said they would be staying open to come in and buy some Mums.

Leave it to history class? I don't they even talk about the civil war any more in schools. Watch the link below of a girl interviewing college students and asking them who won the Civil War. Only one knew it, and she wasn't to sure of her answer. Then she asked who Brad Pitt was married to and who he was married to before and they all got that correct.

Suffolk County Police Department was $100 ten years ago. Can only guess how much its now. $25 fee isn't cutting anymore. Everything has gone up in cost, from the proctors to the paper to the amount of money the schools are charging to allow them to open on the weekends. They can make it $200 fee people will still line up to take the exam.

DID I READ THAT CORRECT $709,821 FOR A RESCUE PUMPER?

My favorite Friendly's meal is the Reese's pieces sundae. What that's not a meal!! LOL

At times they will put a police officer who's a EMT or medic in the bus for a tour. They will be doing police work as well as EMS. I get a kick seeing the ambulance at a traffic stop on Central Ave.

What are you talking about!? This isn't an issue of 5 points! This is an issue of denying someone a job without cause. This ALSO isn't about anyone else. This is a guy who had every endorsement from the mayor to the police chief and down to the citizens of the village. The outward appearance here is that he was denied because of petty political infighting. The veteran aspect helps draw positive attention to this issue, positive for the candidate and I'm glad he's using it to his advantage.
Could there be a valid reason for passing this guy over, legally? Sure could. If there is, then why don't these 4 trustees just come out and say it. From the outside looking in, the silence is awful telling.
Lastly, on a personal note....your comments thus far are quite telling of your character. Degradation of the commitments of those who serve in the military is disgusting. Self gratification? I work with guys who have multiple purple hearts....and the scars to prove it. Come on over and tell them about their self importance and see how long you stay standing on your two feet. Standing in the line of fire, taking bullets and shrapnel and living with the fear of death everyday seems like an awful lot to do for 5 measly points on some civil service test. Although....in your eyes, they don't deserve special recognition. Well, keep enjoying football Sunday and holiday's with your family....don't worry, no one had to sacrifice for you to have those comforts.
Veterans working on Wall Street....guess what? You put military service on an application for ANY job and you get a leg up....deservedly so.
Love how you threw a jab at Volly's in there too. That is a SYSTEM with some problems, but filled with a majority a well intention'd people.
Enjoy your comforts, paycheck and straight 8's in Eastchester.
Love,
The U.S. Armed Forces
Vet credits are actually given to anyone who serves in any capacity. Obviously, there is a differentiation of an additional 5 points for those who are combat wounded.

While that was a massive fire, the General Slocum was the "biggest" maritime disaster in NYC history
On June 15, 1904, the General Slocum caught fire and sank in the East River. At the time of the accident she was on a chartered run carrying members of a church group. An estimated 1,021 of the 1,342 people on board died. The General Slocum disaster was the New York area's worst disaster in terms of loss of life until the September 11, 2001 attacks and remains the worst maritime disaster in the city's history.

Westchester has more then enough of aerial devices to go around. So with MA(If Need) I don't see it being a problem.

Next he will be going after the Triborough Doctrin and for people who dont know what it is.
The Triborough Doctrine - The Facts
In the early 1980's the New York State Legislature passed legislation that amended the Taylor Law. The Triborough Amendment was passed as a counter to the fact that NYS public employees do not have the right to strike.
Most public employees don't think about the Triborough Doctrine or remember its importance. There are some in the NYS legislature that would like to eliminate this important legislation.
What does the Triborough Doctrine do?
Prevents an employer from changing terms and conditions of employment until a new contract is negotiated. Requires empoyers to negotiate in good faith, in exchange employees are protected from striking. Employers changing terms and conditions of employment after a contract expires but before a new contract commit an improper practice.
What effect would a repeal of the Triborough Amendment have?
Step increases, increments and longevity pay amounts could be stopped. Employers could reduce work hours and workers' pay and change benefits after a contract expires. Holiday and sick pay could be eliminated. Health coverage could be reduced and employees' share of the premium could be increased. Employers could implement a contract on its employees if no agreement is achieved. The Triborough Amendment puts UPSEU members on a level playing field. An elimination of this important legislation or even a watered down version would have a devastating effect on public employees throughout the state of New York.
For those wondering if their legislators working to stop public employees of this important legislation believe public employees would be granted the right to strike to be law, they don't. They want a one way bargaining process.

The anti-public sector sentiment and actions by our elected officials recently is definitely cause for alarm.

I pity those getting on the job now. They will have to work under deteriorating conditions; for many more years, to receive fewer benefits.
A dark day for the entire public sector statewide.

....a company using bankruptcy as a bargaining chip........it failed so they are liquidating a profitable company........
after knowing that i wouldnt return phone calls either

always two sides to a story and in the case negotiation. As its been for some time now its the unions fault. Just look at whats going on around Westhester. Yonkers, white plains New Ro and CSEA with the county. For all you guys saying you would work for less to keep your jobs, Well how much less? $4.00 an hour? pay for your health care work 80 hours a week.What next. If you give in to one thing it may never stop. I dont know what the unions turned down or what the CEO was prosposing. You cant judge from a one minute clip from the today show.
