Also I saw SORT 3 was on the alarm. Does that mean that MLSS has 3 SORT Trucks? what do they consist of? Are there any special requirments to be on the SORT truck?

Actually we have 5 SORT vehicles. 3 of the vehicles are equipped with MCI and Rehab equipment. The other 2 are our gator and golf cart used for special events.

I would like to say thank you to everyone that showed up today. It was truly an awesome stop. Thank you to the Wappingers Falls PD and the civilian's who help get all the animals out of the pet store.

P.S. Does anyone have any photo's of the fire in the start (ex. PhotoUnit???)

Ok........ Here are some of what I shot...... The lighting conditions were tough because I was shooting into the sun most of the time and the front of the building was in a dark shadow in addition to the smoke......

First shot...... Yes, as dispatched, there is fire blowing out the windows..... A lot of it....... Hughsonville Chief Bruce Flowers is waiting for help to arrive after notifying DC911 of the fire which he discovered as he exited the Dunkin Donuts at the other end of the plaza.....

Wappingers 68-11 lays in....

Thanks to the Wappingers Falls PD, the dogs and cats will live another day........

Getting ready for the first line.....

i-5j7HTxD-XL.jpg

Lotta fire.....The fact that it's blowing out the front (Self Vented) eased the lateral spread and most likely allowed the pets to survive.....

Getting a 2-1/2 ready......
