Looking into a New Rescue Truck

2007 E-One Tyfoon Rescue with a 20 foot box


This is a demo rescue from E-One that Nichols brought up to the fire house.

The rescue was nice, but it was not what we were looking for.

Power Lines Down Next to our Fire House


Live power lines on the ground next to the fire house. The drive way next to the Rescue is the fire houses, this is one pole away.

The power lines came down after a rain storm that came through. Power was out for most of the day. Thanks to a grant for the new fire house generator, we had power at the fire house the entire time!

While the lines were down, the power cut a hole in a rock that the line was on and made it in to glass.

A Day at the Hudson, NY FASNY Museum


There were a bunch of interactive things for the kids to play with, here I am on a fire truck from the Kodak Division. This truck is made to be driven inside a building.



A bed and pole in one of the rooms is a make-up to show the life of a firefighter.
