  3. נאך אלע רדיפות וואס משה ענגל איז דורך דעגאנגען

    באקומט ער זיכער מיין שטימע
    👑משה ענגל פאר קעמישינער👑

  4. It is important to correct the inaccurate information in the article about Moshe Engel’s run for Fire Commissioner. You state, “launching an exterior firefighter program to make entry into the fire service easier.” New York State law requires firefighters to be interior firefighter qualified and attend a rigorous training program at the Fire Training Center. An exterior firefighter cannot enter a residence, for example, and save a life. That means that people living in the house will die. An exterior firefighter and drivers must be able to wear a Scottpack (air tank) at the scene of a fire. The fire whistle (not a bell) is sued to not only notify firefighters of an emergency, it is used to notify residents of a larger county or state emergency. Now that nuclear power plants are coming back online, which may include Indian Point, it is imperative that the whistle remain active to notify residents of emergencies. In addition, the fire whistle used to blow 7 times per incident and was cut back to 4 blows to accommodate residents requests, but understand that the whistle must be tested and blow in the event of emergencies.

    • 1 correction. An exterior firefighter can operate on any outdoor call as firefighter. And with a department that struggles with recruiting FF members exterior would definitely help out in lots of occasions.
      Again the fire bell was cleared by the Tallman District Attorney at the Aug meeting. No legal basis to have it on. Only tradition.
