Tri-State FPD back in the news (more)

Excerpts from the edgarcountywatchdogs.com:

We received word … from Eric Habercross, a Tri State FPD Trustee, that a resignation letter was submitted by Micheal Orrico on August 12th, 2015, three days after being exposed of his illegally holding office.

Maybe now after years of controversy within this department they can move forward and continue to weed out the bad and rise up to what most fire departments are known for: community service.

thanks Dan & Scott

New truck for Merrionette Park

This from Dennis McGuire, Jr.

Here are a few shots of the 2 rigs that MP has now. The van is a utility vehicle, and the truck is a new Pierce which will replace the MackCF (X-FDNY) and Pennsville, N.J. As of now the Pierce is not in service until formal training is done.

As seen around … Chicago

Chicago FD Helicopter 682

This from Steve Redick:

Normally I get much closer to the rescue demo at the air and water show. Since my vantage point was different I was able to get a unique but distant view of the air-sea rescue chopper maneuvering with the city skyline as a backdrop … pretty cool …
