FDNY 10-75

Here's a link to th Rescue 1 site that shows detailed pics of the MCRU units assigned though out the state Englewood Hospital is assigned MCRU 9http://www.rescue1mfg.com/recent-deliveries/2010-deliveries/nggallery/2010-deliveries/nj-mass-care-may-2010-r222-5

While that is true, more people in emergency services are being shot at by skells.  I believe the point he was trying to make was that the liberal party has empowered criminals who are now not only taking aim at law enforcement but anyone working in emergency services.  Completely inexcusable.  These men and women are out on the streets helping the people who really need it and the liberal agenda has turned it into a race war.  Donald is attempting to bring light of that.

$15.3 MILLION!?  Really?

Pray to God that they have no part of the Washington Administration come 2017.

I didn't know White Plains had a new Smeal truck coming:
 
 

In honor of Rockland County native and FDNY Battalion Chief Michael Fahy who was tragically killed yesterday in an explosion of an illegal drug lab in the Bronx, our department vehicles will be displaying a red line across the rear windows of our patrol vehicles in his memory. This was the idea of PO Andrew Yorke and he was assisted by PO Mike Careswell, K-9 Officer Lou Venturini, Sgt. Rick Marsh and Sgt. Dave Tarantino. We greatly appreciate Chief Fahy's as well as all firefighters service to their communities. - Chief Osborn
 
In honor of FDNY Battalion Chief Fahy, we at the Suffern PD would like to extend our condolences and support to Firefighters everywhere. Thin Red Line's have been placed on the rear window of our cruisers to show our love. It's the least we could do after Suffern FD has been flying Thin Blue Line flags from their apparatus to support us in trying times. 
- In this brotherhood, nobody fights alone - Police Officer Andrew Yorke

New Foam pumper for Engine 14 in Newark. This rig was bought thru a grant with the NFD paying 25%. Pictures were taken Wildwood this past weekend, the rig will enter service in a few weeks. Engine 14's current 2003 E-1 pumper will be re-painted, re-furbished and assigned to Engine 18.

Members of Engine 14 training with their new rig today. This rig can flow some serious water!

Typhoon X Urban Foam Pumper. Q-Max 2000 gpm pump.  1030 gallon L shaped water tank. 250 gallon Foam tank. Williams Hot-Shot II 150 Foam system. This rig was bought through a Port Authority grant, hence the large foam capability.

Not my pic, just sharing.

 Kingston,NY (Ulster County) has placed an order with New England Fire Equipment and Apparatus for a 2016 Smeal/LTC 105' Tractor Drawn Aerial. 

Did this study ALSO look at the direct cost of "property damage and insurance claims" ? If not, somebody pays for that as the result of not having on duty career firefighters. Actually, my guess is that WE ALL pay for that through our homeowners insurance premiums.
 
Did this study look into the ISO (Insurance Services Office) ratings and insurance cost ? There could be a significant difference in what is paid by home owners, particularly businesses. A business served by a Class 1 fire department will be able to save a significant amount on their fire insurance payments versus a place with perhaps a Class 4 or higher number rating (Class 1 the BEST, Class 10 the WORST). Of course one of the main concerns is water supply. A city with good water mains generally does very well.
 
 Just as a comparison, in Connecticut there are THREE Class 1 Fire Departments, Hartford, New Haven and Milford, Ct. All have a good water supply and that gets high marks. However, all are also served by fully career fire departments.
 
   In the earlier thread of "A Fractured Fire Service Norwich, Ct", that city generally has a good water supply, except for one small area. That city is given a Class 4 rating. Part of the city served by a career fire department and the other part of the city served by five separate volunteer departments.
 
  The difference between Milford, Ct and Norwich, Ct is about 10,000 people more in Milford. However, for the same business to operate, the price for insurance coverage would be quite a difference. Maybe an interesting point to consider when paying your tax bill, how much actually goes to the fire dept, and paying your homeowners insurance bill.

This is no different than when the Council of Mayors paid Tri-Data to say there was no increased cancer risk to Firefighters. In my city Tri-Data was considered to be the most amazing and knowledgeable and super fantastic fire experts that ever walked the earth. Then it came out that they simply do what they are paid to do. I never trust any study like this because I don't trust the research.  

Wow! Just think how much money could be saved if EVERYONE did their job for FREE.
 

Cool rig. I knew the Tappan Zee Bridge had fire apparatus at one time, but I never knew New York State Thruway Authority had 23 of these engines. Can anyone elaborate as to how these were staffed and deployed?

White Plains F.D received there two new engines. New 66, 70, they look identical to the 2010's. The former engine 66 smeal is now engine 67 . Still has 66 on the side, plate number on rear is 67 now. Not sure if this is permeant switch.

FASNY paid an economic research and statistical analysis company to write a glowing report about the excellent services being provided by volunteer fire departments. It's questionable as to how they came up with the figures presented that represent the cost of replacing volunteer departments with career departments. The response time information for volunteer departments isn't specific (Are they referring to the time the 911 operator received the call until first unit *not a chief's car* arrives on the scene, or the time the first unit signs on the air responding until they arrive at the scene? Are they referring to response time for all calls, just fire calls, just non fire emergencies, just EMS?). The bottom line is people rely upon fire, rescue and EMS services to respond quickly, be properly staffed, trained and equipped. Seconds count, and it's far more likely for a 24 / 7 career department to be able to provide an appropriate response in an acceptable time frame than it is for  a department that relies upon volunteers who in most cases must respond from their home or their place of work, to the firehouse before they can gear up and respond with the necessary apparatus. I volunteered for 17 years and am very aware of how understaffed departments are during normal work hours from Monday to Friday and how difficult it is to get a sufficient number of personnel to get out of their beds in the middle of the night for a call when they must be up for work or school in a couple of hours. I worked alongside many dedicated, well trained volunteers during those years, but regardless of how dedicated they are, work, school and family have to come before being available to get trained (initially), maintain annual training requirements (courses and drills) as well as respond to calls.
