For those of you that are the Official Department Photographer do you have a singed agreement with the department? If so would you be willing to share a copy with me?
Thank you,

At 0102 received a page for a house fire at 837 NE 69th Ave. Response was E19, 28, 9, 12, R19, T13, T25, C3, C4.
On arrival, Capt. Renhard, Engine 19, reported a 2-story house fully involved. He also reported a wire down and arcing at the A-D corner and another wire down at the A-B corner.
Occupants reported a man still inside, but arcing wires and heavy fire conditions prevented entry. After the heavy fire was knocked down, crews entered the building and found a deceased man. Another man was transported to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
Batt. 3, Chief Babcock, took command when he arrived.

Rescue Truck Destroyed In Fire Comes To Back To Life For Another Calling |

Stiloski's Automotive And Heavy Duty Towing(Tarrytown, NY) recently completely rebuilt Goldens Bridge (Westchester County, NY) former Rescue 24, a 2001 Spartan/Rescue 1. It was destroyed in a fire that gutted their firehouse in February of 2014.
Rescue 24 was totaled. Stiloski's purchased Rescue 24 as salvage, and completely rebuilt it in house. The roof and interior needed complete replacement, the body needed complete repainting and structural repair, in additional to numerous mechanical items that were destroyed by the heat and smoke. .
This truck operates now as an Incident Support unit, supporting Stiloski's two heavy duty 85 ton rotating boom wreckers, as well as other recovery equipment. It carries, amongst other things, chains, cribbing, jacks, high lift air bags, generators, scene lighting, cutting torches, fuel spill containment and cleanup supplies, traffic cones, and other specialized tools.
Also to note, Stiloski's loaned the former Tarrytown Engine 80 to GBFD until they can obtain a new rescue.

Just heard Mr. John Slawson (forgive spelling), who was President of Horton has resigned. They also lost Dave Cole recently. I really liked both of them. Hope all is OK at Horton. Nice unit and I did sell them for awhile.
