I have been on both sides of the dispatch was orignally fire and ems and Police Dispatcher I know when i work and receive and aided call via 911 or any emergency line i automatically transfer the call to fire control so if the call needs to be emded it is

mike I'm not negative about Fasteams matter of fact i have been a member of my departments fasteam for a few years but alot of people think they are needed for every fire when in fact you dont i know there may not be an ordinary fire but there are plenty of one room fires that get knocked down with a water can You can always cancell the fasteam enroute to a call but even if you investigating a fire your usually bring in extinguishment equipment to put out a fire you come accross so your fire could be knocked out in two seconds so in alot cases you dont need a fasteam.

CHRIS YOU DONT ALWAYS NEED A FASTEAM RESPONSE WE HAVE HAD ALOT OF ONE ROOM FIRES WHERE WE DIDNT CALL FOR A FASTEAM NOR DID WE NEED THEM THERE WHY TIE UP THE RESOURCES IF WE DONT NEED THEM AT ALL . HUDSON REGUARDING YOUR COMMENT ON HAVING YOUR OWN GUYS DO A FASTEAM FOR FIRE YOU COULD BE USING THOSE GUYS FOR THE ACTUAL ATTACK OF THE FIRE INSTEAD OF TIEING THEM UP ON FAST HENSE YOU CALLING IN A MUTUAL AID DEPT FOR FAST WHEN IT IS NEEDED.

Hey truck 4 its a picture of a yonkers fire LT making a rescue on an arial at the windham hotel. It was also as you said a tom wanstall photo

I know most of the county is thankful do to the fact our ems is on another channel totally its been two days and being a member of both fire and ems with mohegan its a big change to get use too i keep checking my pager to see if its on all the time because the last two days have been so quiet it is a good thing it does free up alot of airtime Hudson to address what you said it wasnt all the time we toned out 3-4 times for each call you taking a handful of calls that we do. As a vac we respond to around 3500 calls a year wich is alot for an all volunteer ems agency to handle but we handle it yes car accidents and other calls do get covered faster because we cover alot of bs calls at nursing homes and other facilities that members are burnt out that you to everyone else for supporting mohegan.

Yes 636 is a very knowledgable person i also learned alot from but if i recall correctly you did alot of sleeping yourself never mind the westcom sleeping. You also had a bed if i am not mistaken lol

It's time to put the elephant back in its cage !

Dave I have an idea lets start our own dispatch company we have the experience call it davecom and dispatch statflight

I dont know about anyone else i am not planing on having an elephant on any of our apparatus or vehicles or the firehouse

Mohegan FD and VAC is having an open house at Mohegan FD Headquarters on Route 6/Lexington Ave. on Saturday, May 15th from noon-1500hrs. All are invited, the event is open to the public.

636 i was trying to be politically correct i slept just as much especially on the over nights and the ocasional nap after the head honcho's left for the day i hear the dispatch everyonce in a while and it is bad and it seems like it takes twice the time to get a bird but what can we do

I can see this turning into another Verplanck-Buchanan turf war when Verplanck would paint the shamrock on Buchanan's front apron.

TR I THINK THE SAME DEPT BOUGHT BOTH YOUNG CRUSADERS FROM MOHEGAN ENG'S 254,255 I WILL LET YOU KNOW MORE WHEN I FIND OUT

I know who 213 is ITS our all time Favorite flight medic HAPPY PANTS. Westcom was a nice place to rest not sleep there is no sleeping there remember 636. I was there more than munson alot of the time working for him right JM

Hey Guys- The Carvel was not open last summer. The Carvel, as well as the Westbrook Inn, was supposed to be sold and I know they wanted to put up a Mobil Mart and as for the screen, the screen and the concesssion building were still standing after Station 4 was built. As RES20CUE said, that is where Bluejay estates now stands. This past weekend, I did see someone open up the Carvel, so maybe there is hope for it this summer.

Stat 213 how is your dispatching now that they have made it one dispatch center in nebraska i am sure you dont get the service you use to when westcomm was up when i worked there it was a pleasure there in westcomm everyone was great.

Good luck to my friends in eng 119 with the New Engine I am sure it will be an awesome rig but i dont think it will ever be able to touch your current eng that is one of the greatest engine's around

Hey eddie Is that new 80B3 going to be another commercial chassis

Hense all the employees that use to work in westcom

I think it is a spare the former rescue 2 mack/american lafrance referb is now assigned to collapse rescue 2 it served Rescue 2 spare rescue special ops and now collapse 2

Well Mohegan Vac is working on getting dispatched by fire control which will probably happen within a few weeks and then you wont hear any ems calls dispatched over 46.26 we currently operate on our own UHF frequency for the actual disp and response. Mohegan on the fire end we do have our own UHF Districtwide frequency that we operate on alot on scene's aswell as UHF fire ground frequency so we are getting better

This event is still going to happen the money will help the family with all of the medical and other such expenses.

This was a stove fire with minor extension to the wall and the cabinets above the stove smoke removed from the residence one line stretched but not charged all units took up
