Last year many members suggested that an open forum would be best so that local EVTs as well as those around the country would be able to join into conversations without a registration hassle. Unfortunately I have been forced to change this setting.

Because of this open setting, 95% of all posts in the forum have been offensive SPAM which I have had to manually delete (sometimes up to 15 a day). No more - from now on, if you want to post in the forums, you'll need to be logged in with a valid account. Accounts on this site must be approved by me, so people new to the site will need to wait until I have time to approve them. If you already have an account, but have forgotten your password, there is a helpful ' Forget your password' link on the left side of the site which will email it to you based on *either* your email address or your username, but you'll need to know one of those things.

The regular meeting of the Long Island Emergency Vehicle Technicians was held on Wednesday, November 8 at the North Bellmore Fire Department – Station #1 – Vamps Club. Fifty members enjoyed an excellent dinner – the LIEVT chefs’ hats were presented to the hosts.
