    The time I got for PM being dispatched was 6:21. That was almost an hour after the call came in. 60 control wasn't sure of the proper location. PM found the accident in the Bronx. N.Y.C was already operating.The call was in the Bronx and FDNY handled it. End of discussion.

    How about this incident:
    (Church van overturned in Cornwall)

    I know it wasn't as bad as the bus incident, but it was still a major MCI.
    I also remember a situation even further upstate where a double decker bus hit a bridge, causing a similar situation and killing four, that was also dealt with by the local departments
    Yes, the situation may have been uniquely and beneficially dealt with because it happened in NYC, but, to say that NYC is the only place that can deal with a situation like that.

    I think the problem that the upstate boys are missing, is that FDNY is an anomaly. They are the exception to every rule there is. These guys roll with fully staffed rigs, a superb compliment of tools, and a great scene support structure (ie. EMS, PD,..). I think that you (firstdueorback2bed) are confusing the real world with the FDNY world you live in that says all FD's are FDNY. Name another department in the WORLD that has this many fire houses and staffing? Oh that's right, THERE ARE NONE!! How you gonna handle this type of incident up there when a bus from Chinatown that is going to Woodbury Commons does the same thing? It is completely possible. Bet you will be showing up and after blowing chow for a little while from what you see in that bus, you will go back to your actual job and talk a big game about how you were at the "big one". Is Westchester's system a little out of whack? YA, but no more then any other department in this country. Most Westchester career FD's get more done with less then some of these Vols departments do with all their shiny new rigs and latest greatest little toys.

    The guy who started this is a volunteer from Rockland county. He should worry about what would have happened if it happened on the N.Y.S. thruway. I'm sure N.Y.City would have been on the scene even if the accident was in Westchester.

    Did anyone else see something seriously wrong in the ladder pictures?
