Just so you know, I believe the 20th is the Hudson Valley Convention, that might draw some of the crowd you're looking for away.

Great shots! I'm pretty sure this is the fire that my dad told me about that he was able to see from Yonkers.

Decision, decisions... that's the night of the Montrose FD Parade and my 21st B-day.

Great job by all!

Hey GPD I drive 78 that way......lol

No, I don't think so Skip. You're a d*mn good driver.

as the title states, big 21 for me today! medical test at 15:00, work from 16:30-20:00, then you know what...

Mike your too much. And knowing you Bababoosky is right, take pictures cuz you wont remember. Ill have Hamden and AMR on standby and a room at Yale ready for you. Remember I live in the room next to you if you need anything.

Anyone in the New Haven area, feel free to stop by Whitney Bar and Grill on Whitney Ave in Hamden. (I won't be able to attend, I'm not 21 yet)

Holy Front Scene Lights Batman!

Great Pictures Mark. The front pump panel is an interesting setup, never seen one like that before. I also like the irons partner storage, I've always seen them stored seperately.

edit: Also, the caption is wrong, it states this is the second due engine to this auto fire. Only one engine is dispatched to wrecks/auto fires, so this wasn't a case of trying to beat anyone in.

In my department, we roll more then one engine to car fires. 2 Engines and Utility on all NYS Thruway calls (car fires, MVA's, etc.), 3 Engines on car fire calls inside the village. We also dual respond with another department on a certain area of the Thruway who also rolls with 2 Engines for car fires/MVA's.

Description Of Incident: Working fire in a private dwelling, second floor.

Reporters: gpdexplorer's mom... lol

Writer: gpdexplorer

Fire blowing out 2nd floor windows upon arrival. Negative search results.

Eastchester FD and Pelham FD were relocated.

PM with any updates since I wasn't there and my mom doesn't know what to do except call 911 when she saw the fire.

I feel like this scenario is becoming very common place lately.

I have a friend in the Atlanta FD who got into an altercation with an Atlanta PD officer after he pulled a woman out of crack house. As he was tryin to get her to a bus for smoke inhalation the officer placed her into custody and wouldn't allow the FF to take her to receive treatment. The FF tried to get the P.O. to let her get medical attention and the P.O. escalted things from there. Luckily the FF didn't get hooked up, only because supervisors saw what happened.

Over the winter, Tarrytown's Utility 61 had reflective striping added to it. Finally able to get some shots of it.

The work was done at Sign Extreme in Sleepy Hollow. If you ever need something, check with them, they produce some high quality stuff and are very friendly. I got to check it out while they were striping it and I was very pleased.

Here's a before shot from the Tarrytown FD website.

I'm just gonna guess and say that the screen is what is being taped on the dash cam. Unless I'm looking at something wrong.

Very nice! Send it over here and we can give it to Verplanck

Side view of the Rescue that replaced the Suburban.

Isn't that old rescue still in service with Greenburgh Civil Defense?

Thanks Sage, I will. We have one of our fraternity brothers get "locked up" by Hamden P.D.

Thanks guys

I love the Pope's red kicks.

Does anyone know what happened on the Saw Mill River Parkway tonite? Was driving by the old Cantina restaurant and there was ton of PD vehicles and FD on scene with a light tower set up facing into the woods. Couldn't tell if it was Dobbs Ferry FD or Irvington FD.

thanks Duane for sharing, mind if I copy the white/blue tiller for our website??

Wassaic's newest apparatus?

Thanks for sharing the great pics what do they do with the plow (sand)???

JHK, I think the plow is probably used to clear brush out of the way of that unit, since it's a brush truck.

Good job guys!

Good ole John Visone
