Checking to see if any fire departments are getting rid of their older chiefs car?  Up here in upstate NY our Department has no chiefs car and we are attempting to get one and start off getting a used one.  Please let me know thank you

The only response I can say to all of this is that it is not the first time that this issue has come up. As it was said that 6 tickets were issued by NYSP and the rest from the village of chester police.

Thats my big brother. He makes us so proud

Uknown if this belongs here or not but when will Departmente stand by for "snow coverage". I know i hear it a lot and do people actually think this is a good idea or not?

I always look forward to these storms but this time the upstate folks are getting none of this storm and all the downstate folks will be getting the storm. So all you downstate guys have fun with it and be careful

Was wondering what everyone thinks of the different type of brush trucks that are out there. Was wondering if people like the super single tires that the Brat has to offer? Also if different depts. pefer the skid unit brush truck or an acutal brush truck like the brat? The reason for this is that my dept is looking at getting a new brush truck and we are trying to get different ideas for this truck.

RIP

How many counties actually use this and do you like it? Here in Delaware county we use it and it works out pretty well as long as the call answers the questions right.

thanks for all the information this should help my department out greatly

thanks for all the info so far i was wondering what companies some dept actually use to test there hose

Hello all. trying to find out about some of the companies that do the hose testing in this area. And how some of the Departments do there own hose testing. For an example what do you use to test the hose as in your own engine and pressure pump? what do you use for documentaion on the hose. If anyone uses a company what do they think about that company and would you recommend them to other departments? thanks for any help on this matter

How do you fill this tanker as in what size intakes are on it and does have any way of filling itself?

If you would like to see some pictures of the flood you can go to this link http://216.230.164.253/slide.php or thedailystar.com the damges in walton are going to be 20 million dollars they are saying. and every type of personell are staying at the suny delhi campus all of the sanitation workers have there equipment there as well it is pretty nice to see everyone helping out

yes i did see the westchester county car up here in dlehi but i did not know the person driving it i was wondering who came up to delaware county and if any one knows why there was multiple helicopters landing at the eoc here in delhi. i believed it was an army helocopter but could not tell was not close enough to it.

all of those long island company's were here in delhi today and were deployied around noon they had some nice looking trucks and were very nice guys

many of these departments are being deployed to the delhi area to where our EOC is and then they are deployied to were they are needed. last night they stayed at suny delhi in the dorms and i think there was 26 departments with vechicles ranging from hummers to pick ups nothing bigger than a f-350 though. many of these departments are going to be in the walton and downsville area since they were the worst hit areas.

I know that Fairview FD has been deployed to Depsoit, near Hancock in Delaware County because my father is there with them. It is pretty bad up here, I will try to get some photos for everyone down state

Well i am here in delaware county and i live in a town next to walton called delhi and i thank everyone who is coming up this way. if anyone is going to be in delaware county let me know and i will do what i can to tell u how bad that area really is. there is one road that has a wash out are that is 60 feet wide by 70 feet deep i can't go to work because of it. our fire district is cut into pices and we cant get to a lot of places so mutal aid is already in effect for some parts it is really bad no one has ever seen it this bad before. thanks to everyone who is coming up here it is really nice of you.

they got a f-350 believed to be a 4-door red more details to come

And will find out about the new tanker

i have a pictures of a 2005 e-one mini pumper don't remeber the details about it though like the size of the pump but i can tell you that there is a seperate engine on it for the pump and pump only if you would like the picture of it just tell me how to place it in here and i will do it
