The PD will be the primary for this vehicle. It will be housed at the ESU office on Yonkers Avenue and is already numbered "857" which is in keeping with our ESU unit numbering.

If you're in northern Westchester near the Putnam / Orange line in lets say Peekskill, Cortlandt Manor or so... You can always request Fort Montgomery which has a large quantity of large diameter hose on a reel.

Subjects wanted in the Ossining Home Invasion/Robbery on Dale Ave are now IN CUSTODY by State Police assisted by Croton, County and Peekskill PD on Route 9 at Welcher Ave in Peekskill.

1994 Smeal/LTI out of Redmond OR.

I can think of three incidents I've responded to where the municipal water system couldn't keep up - all in Peekskill. Hampton Oaks Apartments (1999?), Main Street shopping center (2005?) & more recently the Lakewood fire (2013).

It was a very busy week for me but I am pleased to announce that my
1974 Mack CF will be featured in the movie NON-STOP with Liam Neeson.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2024469/
I was also cast as an extra and got to drive my rig in the movie as a Firefighter/Chauffeur.


Movie should be out in February 2014

One of my good internet friends Ben Saladino runs an awesome website for the Dallas-Fort Worth area fire apparatus news and events.

http://www.bensware.com/firetrucks/dfwfireapnews.php

It has been one of my favorite websites for years.

He just got back from FRI 2013 in Chicago, and got some really awesome photos He's posted them to his site, and he got some really good shots from the show and trip. I'm very jealous!
The full set of FRI 2013 Chicago Photos from Ben Saladino:

1951 Ward LaFrance. Now back home in Montrose, NY. https://www.facebook.com/RestoringEngine121

Their protest location would be a nice location for a chemical retardant drop from a air tanker.

Izzy, that was a fun night. One of our better get togethers. MoFire, FHG is always on my list. Awesome wings and 10% for Fire, Police and EMS.

Over the years EMTBravo hosted a few get togethers at various locations.
We called them EMTBravo Goes "ON THE ROAD" it's been a while but
they were a lot of fun.
I've been asked to bring them back and so here goes.....
In the past we went to (Westchester) Pete's Saloon, The Cabin,
Doral Arrowwood, NY Firehouse Grille (Putnam) Claddagh (Rockland)
Dave & Busters (Dutchess) Copperfields
Do YOU have a favorite place you would like us to have our next
get together at? Please tell us where and why?
Events will be held on a Thursday or Friday night.
COMING SOON!

Members,
Our forum is established to serve a community of people who have an interest in a particular area, it is a place for people to exchange ideas, thoughts and comments and a place where people can discuss things which they find interesting or important.
With that, we're proud to announce and welcome our three newest moderators that will help me with the day to day operations:
FDNY 10-75 (actually continuing in his longtime involvement with the site)
INIT915
PEMO3
They will be on board to help facilitate and participate in the conversations, to moderate the conversations when needed, and to keep a helpful eye out. They are here to help the over 500 members who visit daily, as well as the hundreds of guests.
Also, RWC130 is staying on as Community Manager-Special Projects & Events and TR54 as Protection From The Past Manager, so events such as the muster can move forward.
Tommorow, we will be posting an opening for an additional staff member.
Welcome all, and thanks for you help!
