  1. Yes. Absolutly. The man is right.
  2. The guy made an opinion...take it easy people.
  3. STAT, what I meant was it happens...I just didn't write it out...
  4. United shut down, St. Agnes shut down...how does govt let it happen...
  5. are you sure it wasn't green?
  6. County, Tuckahoe, Yonkers...all use front-facing blues..grumpyff is right - if PD uses more blue lights, people may yield more often.
  7. This is old, but look at it anyway... http://www.panynj.gov/pap/police%20broc.pdf There is no PANYNJ FD. The cops at the airports are cross-trained. PAPD ESU Guns N' Hoses
  8. Rudy had the merger kick in him then....NYC*EMS to FD, Transit & Housing PD to NYPD, traffic enforcement from DOT to NYPD...and, shall we say, the good/bad is still debated
  9. could this have anything to do with the low turn out for the career exam?
  10. dispatch simulcast will be on this frequency and tones still on 33.96?
  11. the black rims are better. looks more imposing.
  12. gotta treat everything the same until otherwise advised...how many structure fires come as a result of AFAs?!!!!
  13. Ernie is going nowhere; problems number 1. that means the same for the foot doctor. Like someone else posted...no one thinks it will be their house or whatever...but sometimes it is. and until it happens to someone important enough who actually cares, they are not going to care that it is New Ro, Yonkers, Pelham, the Manor, Eastchester, Fairview, Greenvile (sorry if I left anyone out) that shows up because FDMV is out on a job that they could handle no sweat if they had rigs that worked and enough firefighters. GO FDMV! STAY STRONG! and STAY UNITED!
  14. it seems obvious, at least to me, that Mayor Davis is responsible for this. and how often is FDNY up in MV?
  15. the public does not have a clue about CFR, EMT-B, EMT-D, EMT-CC, EMT-P whatever. they think anyone on an ambulance is a paramedic.
  16. ok so YES it is important to develop alternative fuel sources. But is now the right time to start adding Ethanol into the gas? No. Why? Becuase we have a crisis on our hands. We are horrbily dependant on, as Tramua74 said, TERRORIST OIL. We should be spending money on new fuels. But taking MTBE out now was a terrible cave-in to the tree-hugger lobby. Plus, we wont drill for our OWN oil or build a new refinery. oh oh the caribou... Other then the fact that we have such little refinery capacity, look at the numbers. The gasoline stockpiles are dropping each week. Forget $3.50, try $4.
  17. yep - saw it on the news before. the station quickly took them back down. So it makes you wonder between the taxes and the markups...
  18. Its been OOS for a couple of weeks now....28 is in (1969? Mack). I do believe, however, that a plan is in the works to replace 29. Mabye next year.
  19. YPD ESU officers are (I believe all) EMTs
  20. Glad you are ok, sounds like quite a night. I once had occasion to call NYPD regarding a stolen vehicle that I had come across in the Bronx. All they were interested in was me telling them where I was so that I could meet the PD whenever they got there, instead of the car, or who is driving or minor things like that. And then they asked me "what is the problem???" Nothing wrong with the the CC permit, despite what the the Liberals might say.
  21. Am I correct to assume that it is mostly Paid EMS and not Volunteer EMS in Dutchess?
  22. Yes, but there still has to be a prosceutor. And who is offering the plea if the Troopers no longer are??? Having never been in the situation, all these reductions from the troopers come on the day the ticket is due back or does the motorist plead not guilty and then before the trial the ticket is reduced?
  23. If there is no People's side, all the tickets are dismissed. So someone has to act as the prosecutor. And if I plead not guilty and get a trial, the trooper is supposed to appear anyway. So where is the cost savings? The trooper becomes a witness, instead of the prosecutor. But then that is still overtime. It will become another unfunded mandate from Albany to hire Deputy Town & Village Attorneys.
  24. See what Bush should have done was invaded Venezuela...you get your regime change (bye-bye Chavez) and then the war would actually be for oil. Now how would the Democrats counter that??? And would someone please repeal damned those gas taxes????
  25. Oriental Palace in Chester Heights (Eastchester)
