    on the job liked a post in a topic by M' Ave in FDNY Orders Ambulances To Forcefully Remove Homeless From The Streets   
    We're (Fire) are getting killed with this right along with NYPD and EMS. We three agencies have the most contact with people on the streets and so we are utilized to treat the homeless.
    This serves one purpose...get the homeless out of the public eye. Clearly this has become a political hot-potato for diBlasio (aka Red Bill) and Cuomo. It doesn't fix the issue, just sweeps it under the rug by running engine companies and EMS units into the ground....

    I think the best part of this whole video is.......the fact there is four to five firefighters and one chief in front of this burning store front and the camera guy has to tell the guys to get a "can" to put the fire out !!!!!
    I just don't get it ??

    Tradition, good answer.
    Confusing other drivers, making them react to oncoming EMERGENCY lights and sirens. No harm in conditioning the public that red lights and sirens don't mean anything. It's like the boy that cried wolf. I'm sure some of these same apparatus drivers and officers complain when the cars that are in the way don't move when they are going to a real emergency.
    Is that new Truck in service yet? Does it carry ground ladders? How many?
    Doesn't look like much compartment space

    That was the most ridicules' video/fireman's parade I've ever seen, how no one gets killed or injured is a miracle.

    Victims are considered to be entrapped when they cannot leave the vehicle because parts of the body or the whole body is confined in the distorted vehicle after impact, injured or not.
    Such a situation requires special extrication/tools needed to help remove the victim would be considered entrapment.

    Well, I'm not a fan of any particular builder...but the quality of assembly seems to matter a lot. Just ask someone who works on a Ferrara rearmount delivered to the FDNY in the last few years.....
    ....same engine, trans, ect....but put together badly.

    +1 to this. SOP's have the control man flush out the standpipe before hooking-up. However....you can't flush 20 foors worth of water (or 40, 50, ect) and something could very well come through the line and clog at the tip. However, you're much better off with a 1 1/8th smooth bore tip, both for lower propensity to clog and for it's superior penetration ability.
    My personal belief is.....automatic/fog nozzles have no place in interior structural firefighting. They have a multitude of applications in brush, rubbish, decon, utility emergencies, exterior and many others....but a straight up house or apt. fire.....i'll take the smooth bore.

    6 people lost their lives and others injured and this is what's bothering you? Get over it. Stop with the favoritism nonsense and the boo-hoo why didn't they call X, Y or Z.
    Resources were called as needed during what I could only imagine to be a chaotic and overwhelming scene.
