It's going to suck big time but it's my 1st year. I will get over it. I needed this job because I need the money and the benefits since my dad passed away. I couldn't live off of CVS money. Did I really want this job? Not really but I had no other choice. Ant, do you have a set schedule? I just started with the city, I work friday-monday. Luckily I have all the holidays off this year. I have rotating rdo's. NYPD have some really rough scheduling.

It is really hard but I have to live with it for now until I get some time on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDMK6GLI Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 They should just legalize fireworks. Dont know the reason behind banning them to consumers. PA/NH i know its legal and they probably have incidents as well but dont ban anything when something happens. Maybe another reason behind it being illegal in NY? Besides us being a liberal state and not a free state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( Get into the job, will ya ) . I'd have to agree. I recently got hired by the city and ant, you don't know how lucky you are. Some people can't even find jobs let alone with the city. The benefits are great, the pay is great, it's pretty awesome. We all have bad days but overall you have it really well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to go to work everyday like i do and be as happy and humurous as possible and make it enjoyable as you can or its just going to be a prison like experience for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA/NH i know its legal and they probably have incidents as well but dont ban anything when something happens. Maybe another reason behind it being illegal in NY? Besides us being a liberal state and not a free state Well most states have some restrictions... PA residents without a permit can't use any consumer pyro besides those which fall under the "safe and sane" bill (sparklers, fountains, other novelty non-breaking items). Only NY, MA, DE, and NJ still outlaw all consumer fireworks, though. Legislature has twice passed a modified safe and sane bill to allow sparklers and such, and twice they were shot down by Cuomo. A third bill was passed this year and awaits Cuomo's inevitable veto, but it's so restrictive as to be ridiculous; as I understand, you would only be able to use the smallest consumer fireworks (nothing aerial) outside of NYC for a few weeks surrounding Independence Day and a few days around NYE.

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Mass is ridiculous. Its comical how many fireworks were set off on Thursday and will be set off tonight. The jokes pretty much on the state. Mass residents pumping millions of dollars into bordering states economies while Massachusetts misses out on a bunch of taxable revenue.

MJO812 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Nope, def less enforcement this year than past. Sheepshead Bay was dead last night. My family use to have big 4th of July parties in the past. Not anymore. My family and the next door neighbors always had an annual wiffleball game. Here is a picture of my dad and I playing in the wiffleball a few years ago.

smog strangler Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 It's been illegal to use fireworks for personal use in NY state since 1940. I can't believe it's been in place for so long. Illegal (for the most part) in FL too to blow off anything that flys through the air but legal to buy. How dumb is that. Sky King fireworks and other establishments were PACKED all week. Each staffed with a couple cops. You have to present your DL and sign a waiver. The cops walk out with a ton as well. Then, on the 4th, every other house is lighting up the sky. All over the place. It's amazing to see. But it's illegal hahaha nutragious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 I can answer that from a non NYC perspective. Fire and Police work together on any major incident but like you would expect cops don't fight fires and fireman don't arrest people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but contrary to popular belief and terrible tv shows, the men and women on the streets working both jobs get along very well, respect each other, and watch each others backs. A cop or ff line of duty death is a blow to either side. I know anthony didnt mean any harm...it was just really awful timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
