I'll throw the party, but someone else better bring the Johnny BLUE

That Pelham Manor job was actually within spitting distance of I-95 at the Biltmore Apartments on US 1. Just about everyone and their mother was at it. My DC had parked his personal vehicle on the side street and when he finally got out of there around noon, an FDNY tiller was set up where he had been parked.

Ive also seen FDNY go to work on the Hutch just over the border (US 1). They usually have the box long before the Westchester dept. gets it and will ride as far north as the exit next to Pelham High School to find it.

Test is supposed to be held this coming June with registration taking place early next year.

Yeah, that looked pretty cool. I saw 308 running a Mack the other day at the 2 alarmer. Much neater than seeing a spare and not knowing who is using it.

Easiest place for you would probly be AAA in North White Plains. However, gear is very expensive. I suggest you wait to be issued gear from your dept. That way you are conforming to their rules and regulations and there wont be any problems.

Pelham L2 is now due sometime early next year. Word is hopefully by Feb. It is a 100' rearmount Seagrave with a low-profile cab.

As for E5, there has been some talk of purchasing a used piece of apparatus from the FDNY. I do not know what stage those talks are in or if there are other ideas being floated at this time.

As for Pelham Manor, Hoss or Eclemente might be able to answer those.

Pelham Manor has a paid chief. Pelham's is a volunteer but does get a stipend (you make a decision on what category to put him in).

The horn puts out a Box number. For Pelham, it is three digits long, using only the first 5 digits (1,2,3,4,5). For a highway entrance, the last number may be a 6,7, or 8 however these are usually not transmitted. The tone of the horn does not change based on the type of call.

To properly determine what box is being blown, you count the number of times the horn blows with a short silence between blasts. The longer silences indicate a break in the numbers.

The box is transmitted twice and is primarily a back up system for those who are not with their pagers or who are currently in a dead zone within the Village.

I heard some of the animals had to be put down after this fire. Any word on that? It would be a real shame.

Last night at that time and at 1800 during the week is Pelham. We went on an alarm to the north end of the Village which is why you also heard the apparatus sirens.

We still use our horn regularly, despite some complaints from Village residents. Pelham Manor has an "air raid" type horn that was not used for several years but i have heard it fairly recently a few times to alert members of calls. As for Larchmont, im not sure about theirs. Maybe DRD could answer that.

Last i knew, they were not allowed to leave the Island. Anyone know how far the next nearest company is?

New Rochelle is completely paid.

Theres a reason why street racing is ILLEGAL, and emscomm80 summed it up pretty well. If it werent illegal, then there wouldnt be any speed traps ever cause you could almost always use it as an excuse.

There are constantly officers on the Tuckahoe Rd overpass with radar guns. This too is part of the same operation. Its a big speeding area and extra enforcement of the speed limit will only help to save lives. As it is, the area of Central Ave and Arlington St. is a pretty dangerous one.

I think they should get rid of the garage altogether. It is an eyesore and im sure they could then use the area for more parking. Removing it might also help raise some of the surrounding property values.

The new Tower 1 has not been placed into service yet, that is correct. There were a few bugs that still had to be worked out and i think it might actually be at Excelsior currently getting them worked on. It was definitely a cool sight though to see the old Mack Tower in action.

I like it a lot. gives you quick access to all your current info and stats. great addition

Not a problem, i wasnt sure if Pelham Manor had called anyone in so i was just lookin for clarification. Thanks

I drove by earlier around 2pm, and it looked like there was some damage to the back right corner of a one story addition (possibly an enclosed sunroom).

I had been out on a gas call with my dept. during this incident or id have more info for you guys.

ems-buff, what unit is R1? Pelham Manor only runs two engines and a tower ladder.

Try these two topics already covering your question:

In Yonkers a

10-29: Working structure fire

10-30: Using full first alarm assignment (all hands)

10-31: High-rise assignment

Im not sure what pieces of equipment are added when a 10-31 is transmitted though.

Come on DFFD!!!

Location was 1020 Warburton Ave. Fire on the Penthouse floor of a 15 story fire resistant. E308 was first due, reported the 10-29 which was quickly followed by Batt. 2 calling the 10-30 and 10-31. Quick knock down, all units were back in service fairly quickly.

Also, a second 10-29 occured within an hour after units cleared from Warburton. Location was on Radford for a kitchen fire. Both 304 and 74 were out on seperate calls. That too was a quick knock down.

Come on DFFD, i wouldve expected you to be out with a clone to get pics of both. Youre slipping.

Pelham is awaiting a Seagrave 100' rear mount aerial to replace the current Ladder 2. Delivery is up in the air due to the FDNY order that has to be completed.

The TL, or Tower 1, the old mack truck, is the current spare ladder for MVFD. Truck 3 is a bucket, more of a "platform" truck though, rear mounted with the bucket hangin over the cab.

As of this posting, L2, a Seagrave rear mounted straight stick, is out of service. TL 1 is running out of HQ on Lincoln Ave. So in theory, MVFD is running 2 towers right now.
