  1. RIP Joe and condolences to the Eastchester FD...
  2. Yeah I know, but it's worth it to see how mad Joe gets when I "scoop" him!
  3. I think that's the angle in the photo. (I told Joe Pinto that I should have done the spyshot with my camera phone but he got all annoyed and called me an amateur.) It was huge in person. They are in the process of re-building the opening of their quarters (Shonnard Pl) so it will fit.
  4. Yes. In addition to showing the trusswork of the roof you can see the method of construction of the soffit and can visualize fire travel during an incident...
  5. Here are pics of a typical fast-food restaurant under construction.

  9. For Mutual Aid, Yonkers first goes through the County of Westchester Mutual Aid Plan. The County maintains the list of which southern Westchester Municipality provides the first, second etc. Engine, and then for the Ladders. NYC is called after the departments on the list. It's not a slight to NYC, we participate in the County plan for mutual benefit.

  12. Absolutely Onthewheel. Yonkers FD had a campaign in the late 90's to correct the block segments in our CAD Geofile and had violation sheets which we would give to homeowners when they didn't have visible or adequate address numbers. The sheets explained the reason PD/FD/EMS needed to see these numbers day and night and gave the code requirements. It's definately a problem all over...

  14. 10-4 though if you remember, you did drop in one day and we had coffee- at 460 Nepperhan...
  15. Once wraferty installs the machine you're all invited for coffee. "It will be the EMTBravo Roadtrip Breakfast". Andy from Slave to the Grind will supply us with his best grind. Oswegowind will let you all know the location from the GPS signal we emit. 61Mack: I'll give you advance warning so you can make the trip. Moderators: you better shut this thread down before we get in trouble lol.
  16. Apparatus is in service 2000hrs this date.
  17. Chief Hammer and his son designed it around the "2" which I believe is from the US 2nd Army patch, which his aide wears and became popular with the other members. The B1 patch will not change. And about the "Mr Coffee machine" - that's the TIC charger. We prefer the coffee from "Slave to the Grind." lol
  18. The side storage areas are similiar. They are boxes only accessible from outside. We will put HT, TIC and Sawzall batteries there. The rear compartment is unfinished at this time. We may add a bed slide eventually but in the meantime we will just place our equipment in there.
  19. On second thought, I better check it out first before I push it. I'll tell my aide I want to see how it drives...
  20. It activates the Cross-band repeater. This way if you leave the vehicle, you can hear our low-band radio (46.5 MHz) which gives the tones and announcement of alarms on Channel 8 of our UHF Handi-talkies.
