27east

this house was built to be the first? combined fire/ems station in the city, right? and then for only housed the ems 22? batt? and then, suprise suprise, bloomberg decides now is a good time to add the new company.

if the squad/rescue is still responding when the P/W/H is transmitted, do they continue or turn back? also, is RES 5 CUE still a HMTU?

im guessing because Marine 9 has a top speed below 20 knots....JBE?????

so then there is usually only one batt chief working then?

does anyone know how many Batt's FDMV has? how many chiefs do they have on duty for a tour?

did 27 roll up on the job on their way to an EMS?

Collector's Station up in North White Plains carries FAJ....also http://www.fireapparatusjournal.com for subscription info

I know 70/53 are from City Island...being so isolated, they rarely leave the island and the island itself is not all that busy....JBE if I'm wrong please correct me.

I heard that too about the phones but who knows if I'm right....

I heard that the problem with the "dead air" could be as a result of the merger with Sprint and Nextel. There is apparently some work going on looking at switiching them both over to the same network.

right on lfdR1......doors and roof white, black for the rest of the car

Yellow- Auxilaries

FDNY has Auxilaries??? Who are they and what do they do????

thanks

I think Fairview FD does alot of that kind of stuff

Nassau County has an interesting system as well...It's something like the County Batt. #, the Department # and then the apparatus

I've always wondered, how bad could things really be for someone to do it, or in this case go all the way up.....I think it is for attention...

where exactly is it?

so I guess Yonkers FD will remain in violation of the VTL

He's an EMT for businesses

TransCare ambulances hired by city hospitals were allowed to begin responding to 911 calls during the Giuliani administration.

does he mean when the voluntary hospitals were allowed to use contract ambulance services instead on in-house or does he mean the bus is on the road and they go right to a call because they are nearby?

901,

what has the call volume been like?

thanks

is 38M1 still based down in the Manor and still on the posts?

Westchester is going to a trunked analog UHF system.  There aren't current plans to convert the system to digital, although it might have made more sense.  Most TrunkTracker scanners by Uniden and Radio Shack will be more than adequate to listen to the system.

so the Pro-95 should be ok, right?

Anyone know who took place in the drill? I know WEMS sent two BLS crews, and I'd imagine Valhalla was there. And Fairview is first due to North White Plains Train Yard? That isn't North White (New Castle) district?

I think it is North White Plains Fire District....they had that fire right next store to the yard in that cement plant a little while back

Continential Village FD exists in both Weschester and Putman? I thought they were located in the town of Cortlandt. Are there two seperate CVFDs?

YFD R-1, B-2, L-70, Squad 311 & Collapse Unit...

does NRFD have a collapse unit?

Eastchester has their own frequencies, however, during the recent rainstorm they were also being toned out over 33.96.

interesting....I think I heard Eastchester on 33.96 to an MVA yesterday morning...not sure though...the scanner was running through pre-programed freqs (just got it)

thanks all for the responses

hello all-

I'm hoping someone can clear this up for me: are Eastchester, Pelham Manor, Pelham, Greenville, Hartsdale and Scarsdale dispatched off 33.96? Also, Fairview dispatches in-house, then over 33.96, right?

thanks
