In November of last year, myself and FFFORD were invited to go to the FDNY Academy for a day to see what the Rock was like. Needless to say, we thoroughly enjoyed ourself. It was an honor to have been there. Special thanks to Chief Geraghty for being our host and to everyone there for their hospitality.

Congrats Chief! My best wishes to you, momma, and baby.

yeah its like $10-$13 i think it keeps goon up every year, where from CT you comming down from???

Thanks, not too bad at all.

We both go to Quinnipiac University, so we will be coming from Hamden.

I just wanted to congratulate efdcapt115 for being the first member to earn a reputation of 100. He provides excellent info and insight to the members of this forum. Being a younger member of the fire service, we learn a lot from the posts of the more experienced and knowledgable members of this site. I wish him continued success here.

I would also like to thank all of the other members who post here, as there are several other members who will be reaching the 100 mark soon. These are the guys that really make EMTBravo what it is.

Thanks again.

Is there an admission fee? If so, how much?

FFFORD and myself will most likely take a ride down from CT.

Well written Chief. Very interesting indeed, definately something to keep in the back of your mind.

Colorado, United States, how did it get all the way out there

on 6 wheels.

Riverside Hose Company in Tarrytown is attempting to get back their 1965 Seagrave, its all the way out in California. Talk about a trip.

If enough members feel strongly enough about it, I may be able to set it up to see who repped you. Please give me input on this thread and I will make a decision with the staff.

Negative reputation points are gone, I just didn't see the value of them.

Seth, depending on everyone's input and comfort level, you can add a check box that allows you to remain anonymous when repping someone.

I wouldn't mind being able to see who left you the ratings.

Also, I do believe that there should still be a (-) rating button for members to use.

Hi, my name is Madison. I have been a firefighter with Pleasantville FD for almost 4 years. I have been an EMT/Driver with Pleasantville Vac for 2 years. I recently became a Lt. with PVAC. This is a great site and is full of excellent information. Stay safe!

Bout time you introduced yourself buddy!

Welcome to our newest members. You will see there is a lot of excellent knowledge passing through these forums.

Nice. Who is the manufacturer?

Must be a pain to get to the ground ladders though.

Sorry, it is a Spartan. I don't know much more than that though.

I took these pics of Hamden CT's new squad. Squad 1 and Rescue 1 operate out of their house at Whitney and Dixwell Avenues, however are both temporarily relocated as the station is undergoing renovations. The squad replaced Engine 4, whose apparatus replaced Engine 5's old apparatus. These photos were taken in May 2009, I just found them again. I only had a small memory card at the time, so I wasnt able to grab many pics.

Here are a couple shots of Squad 1 operating at a kitchen fire in November 2009.

Mike, hopefully it will deter some people who are thinking about jumping. Unfortunately, if they really are committed to jumping, they will find a way or go somewhere else.

Company #5 in my town has a kentworth tanker as well...see below

Tanker 59

Hey Mikey, you're link isnt working, but I guess thats Shelton for ya

definitely arrive lights and sirens in your favorite rig. as well as decorate the ambulance with "just married." im sure you can get permission for your big day.

Mike, I think he said "non-obvious," not Biggest Buff Wedding of 2010. haha.

I would like to thank the Elmsford FD for another excellent seminar. You guys run a top notch show. There was a great turnout and everyone undoubtly learned something today. Job well done!

It was great to see everyone show up in the Great Storm of 2010 that was predicted!

Great pics!

Already said, but great positioning of the truck.

"Caller is reporting that he needs to go the hospital but doesn't have money for a cab."

I'm on board for a crackberry app.

Congrats and best of luck with the new rig! Look forward to seeing it in action.
