Water Day at IHB Rec Center Summer Camp.

Firefighters from the IHBVFD helped kids at summer camp enjoy water day. Two hose lines were set up for the kids to try and fill a 50 gallon trash can with water. The aerial master stream was set up in a water curtain for the kids to run through. Finally we set up two 16′x20′ tarps end to end for a 30′ slip and slide under the aerial master stream. It became evident early on that the camp counselors (yellow shirts) were having as good a time or better than the kids.
FDNY Rescue 4 @ BCFR Station 48

Three IHBVFD members visited the traveling Memorial Rescue Truck 4 at BCFR Station 48. This partially restored Rescue 4 Truck by “The Remembrance Rescue Project” continues to remind us of the sacrifices made by the “343″ FDNY Firefighters on September 11, 2001. The Memorial is touring the East Coast visiting various Fire Stations who agree to assist with the project by hosting the Rescue Truck. To see and stand in Rescue 4 knowing it transported these men to their final call was an emotional experience. A plaque on the Rescue says, “9 FIREFIGHTERS FROM RESCUE CO 4 LOST THEIR LIVES TRYING TO SAVE OTHERS. EVEN WITH THE LOSS OF THEIR CREW THEIR TRUCK WENT BACK IN SERVICE AND KEPT PROTECTING NYC UNTIL 2010.
We all need to heed the saying on the side of the truck, “We Will Not Forget 9-11-01, W.TC.”. Visit www.TheRRP.org for more information on The Remembrance Rescue Project.

- Why do the dogs look happier than our Chief?
-
- Did Jill win best in show???
-
- Lou is the “leader of the pack”
-
- She has complete control of a 350′ Ship, not so much with the dogs!
-
- Now, who is going the wrong way?
-
- Looks like there may be a new addition to this happy home!

Santa arrived in the City riding on Pumper 56 accompanied by Ms. Claus and his 4 Elves from IHBVFD. Though it was a very warm night the Christmas atmosphere was present. IHB Public Works Dept did another excellent job with the decorations and set up. The IHB Recreation Center Staff did their usual outstanding job with the event. Santa will be visiting all the neighborhoods in IHB beginning Monday December 12th. A map of the routes is available in Harbour Highlights.
