Off topic but why is that????

He will be missed by many people, Bernie was the first of 3 generations in the Hastings FD

Ryan;

Yes it is a manifold carried by the sattelite companies.

It's a big manifold.

That's what it's called, a manifold.

I think the green hair dye has done something to your brain.

You make it too easy.

It takes water in from a big hose and disperses it to multiple smaller lines. all discharges are gated.

Shrek!!

ha ha ha thanks alot your too funny but im more intrested in why you would need this in a city whats wrong with one single engien and its discharges, i never seen one till we used one up here in the sticks to do tanker shuttles filling tankers.

So can someone tell what this and used for it kinda looks like some type of mainfold.........

here

when we go to a hartford county hospital (hartford, childrens, bristol) and use C-Med we use "Mike" 1 or 2 pending what ambulance were in.

our ambualnces are 66-1 and 66-2

Its a lifeline I think.......

Where is the "Q"

Ha ha yea lets not get stared with that, lets say there was a heated argument over it and the extra $1200 for a Q and air horns but we "cant afford it" right now.

Here are a few pictures of our new ambulance we that we are taking delivery tonight (3-12-09), more pictures to follow

any hard suction?

Cool shots brendan, this at the bottom of darwin near chauncey ln?

Will there be a top 10 events list this year for 2008?

National Registerd*

I took it on 1/12/09 and thought the test was very different from my class test and text book questions and study book questions, remember when your answering questions your looking for the answer the state wants you to have no what say you would acually in the field. I made it to question 124 and had 55 mins left and it turned off on me and i passed.

Is there a bench seat on the opposit side of the ambulance not pictured or is there not one at all? How would you tarnsport a second person?

Its sad to say that if these plans go through its going to take a death or something due to these plans to change them and wake up the politicians. How about a few security gurads get the boot, why need all those men the mayor rarely has attacks rights so what could happen?

BUMP

Who would you vote for? this is a poll ONLY please NO post on your imputs not that there not important its just not going to go anywhere.

I just relize i cant put a poll in somehow so till then i this can happen maybe a moderator can help

Since water supply is such a critical issue in the northern part of Westchester and most of Putnam, why not pre-designate tanker strike-teams of 5-6 tankers with a couple of officers so when a job like this comes in it's a much more efficient call out (not to mention NIMS compliant)? They can be staggered geographically so as not to deplete any part of the County when activated and also train and drill together to perform as smoothly as possible when the time comes. If you need more than a tanker or two, activate a strike team. If you need more than a strike team, activate another strike team.

I recall an incident in CT recently (Norwalk? New Haven?) where they lost municipal water and activated their County's tanker strike team.

Whaddya all think?

It was waterbury, they had a water main break and southern litchfield county's tanker strike team cover a hospital down there and they had a n engien pump water in to the hospital.

In your gear?

I'm sure alot of members MOMS pay the cellphone bills

umm deffinatly not........dad does when im short $$$

Hastings L22 building was built in 1863 & is still in use. No brass poles

That was as well a school house prior to being a fire house, Are we seeing who has the oldest building thats now a fire house or oldest firehouse from time of construction?

Hastings on Hudson's Protection Engien 44 fire house was built in 1876 and still in use today.

I think most of them dont care as much about where they live or what an impact they can do but volunteering, like voting why so many young people not vote? the just dont care, most kids just wanna go to college and make 6 figures a year sitting in a office or just dont have a guts to do it

Everyone have a cutting torch with them readily available? not really sure that would work for eveyone

i think 3/4 are only good for basement pump outs. cause bunkers you only have a 12''-16'' before your foot is filling with water.
