Bring back "The Beast" Rescue 5 and Engine 28

You are trying to compare an ADULT ONLY retirement community in sunny Florida to a congested NY county. You say you spent 30+ years as a FDNR dispatcher? You must know the area Eastchester FD serves. Do you think that 2 firefighters on a rig is a waste of money? I caught a fire the other nite on the 8th floor of a senior citizen apartment. 2 Eng. 1 Ladder and my Duty car : TOTAL 8 MEN. You pay low taxes because the Villages doesn't have to build or run SCHOOLS! Plus the SCAB labor of Rural Metro doesn't provide pensions to it's workers. I'm sure you retired in either Tier 1 or 2 of the NYS Pension system and every month you cash your check. Yet you defend Rural Metro and speak of wasteful spending and "Breaking the Bank". Shame on you, sir.

Maybe I need to drive a little bit faster to find out.

The Taxpayers voted Davis back in, this is what you get.

If it's not on emtbravo then it didn't really happen.

Here's how to speak to the media:
In complete silence....... . That's how to do the least damage. J/k......sorta....

I'm not sure I see exactly what "County Administrator Rob Asterino" has to do with fire protection in Mount Vernon. While yes, the citizens of Mount Vernon took the city backwards in putting Davis back in office; until Westchester County establishes a county-wide fire department, the "County Department of Public Safety" should have no involvement in local town/village/city/district fire protection.
Also, Rob Astorino is the County Executive and the County Department of Public Safety was created by the merger of the Parkway Police and Sheriff's Office.

UGH!
Looks like a once nice truck crashed through a bad episode of Baywatch and then a JC Whitney catalog!
Y U C K !

Saw on the NYSP recruitment site (http://www.nytrooper.com/schedule.cfm) the shift schedule. Does this rotate from days to nights or is it steady?

Sounds like my love life

the sunoco special cars were the thruway units?

Actually on this car the multifunction switch and the clock spring are one unit. 27east check your PMs

This about sums it up

Yonkers, be prepared to hear the same thing that was proposed a few years ago. Station 8 will CLOSE and Engine 308 will cease to exist. YFD will move Squad 11 to Station 7 and then proceed to CLOSE Station 11. Ladder 70 will cease to exist and YFD will move Tower Ladder 75 to Station 14 to replace it (vs. the better alternative of moving TL 75 to the propoposed to be closed Station 11)
Wake up Yonkers, because the administration will more than likely propose these cuts within the YFD to close the budget gap. Add to this, you will most likely hear that the Sanitation Department will again propose a 1 day a week collecetion schedule. Then you will have the same slow down and piles of garbage seen on the sidewalks this summer and the city will smell like a sewer. You will also probably again watch the DPW Union heads, while attending a public city haul meeting, treating women reporters covering that meeting, like they were street walkers on the lower west side of Manhattan.
Police Cuts will now allow the gangs of Yonkers to have free reign on the streets of Yonkers. Willow Avenue will again be "GANG CENTRAL" for them to have as they like.
Yonkers, the Emerald Citiy !!!

There really isnt any management in the dept that are not essential for running day to day operations. A commisioner, chief of personnel, chief of special ops, training, and fire prevention. We had one officer in charged of training in the past. For a 450 plus department. You think he had a workload? 99 percent of our staff are in front line positions. You cannot run any department efficiently without any support staff. If we doubled our staff positions tomorrow, it still is would not be enough. By the way, the school busing costs approx 40 million dollars a year and causes lots of unnecessary traffic along with increasing our response times.

Yonkers should bring back neighborhood schooling. The busses that shuttle children to and from school every day that is funded by tax dollars needs to stop. Apparently it is "racist" to go to a school in your own neighborhood, so to rectify this "racism", they shuttle someone 15-20 minutes across the city to a school instead of letting the child go to a school that is within walking distance of thier home.

And this isthe guy the Union backed. Go figure!

Dislike!

If the 44/46 precincts can exist on the same radio division, I think WCPD can handle their current radio traffic load...

Bunch of SKELLS who obviously have too much time on their hands......................Bloomberg should have grown a set of BALLS weeks ago and cleared these people out...........

It's simply a matter of time before they sweep the park clean altogether, and end the ridiculous nonsense.

As they should! Just because the business is in the emergency services field...it is still a business.
