FDMV-3816

rumor has it yes!

FDMV- 2 man engines,3 man trucks.1man rescue w/an officer,officers are assigned to each house and will respond either on the truck or engine depending if they are 1st due or not. 1st due assignment you get 3 engs,2 trks,1 res,1 chief with an aid. total of 14 ff,1 chief and usually 3-4 line officers.

here's something- using #1,2,3,4, is hard to confuse- what depts are on the same page when you identify where you are?A,B,C,D? 1,2,3,4??? PROBABLY GOOD FOR ANOTHER THREAD.

it appears that many departments that work together frequently under the mutual aid plan have different codes for incidents or don't use codes at all. It might be a good time to get on the same page and straighten out some communications problems.Is 10-75 listed on the county codes or is it just something that is being transmitted because it is used in NYC? EG: a 10-29 in yonkers is a building fire but a 10-29 in MV is food on the stove. A little confusion possibly if you are in other areas covering !

fairfax VA hires quite a bit-if you are willing to relocate? i know 2 guys on the job there.

capt 32-if its food that i need don't worry I'll find it! anyway- i see that i started something that brought out alot of valid points. my main point here is to not hit the panic button before you get there.many times the dispatchers will let you know that they have recieved several calls on the incident. ok with the info provided hit the buttons. I still feel that through proper size up and a little thought the IC can keep control of the situation and not allow it to get blown out of proportion. ems- i understand about the fast team/tankers and agree especially with the need of water in some areas.

Having a plan such as a 10-75 plan is great however my thought in the fire service is "circumstances dictate actions" in other words the IC needs to call the shots as they happen,if you need a certain mutual aid co. there then you need to call for it. you can't or should'nt press a button and have all this mutual aid responding in for no reason. this is done quite often throughout the county nad needs to be adjusted. A situation needs to be dealt with as things happen. the incident is either going to be dealt with or get worse. By calling things in automatically i can see some Incidents getting confusing to the point that the IC will or can be overfwhelmed.I know that I will hear the term better safe than sorry or you can always turn them around but the real point is to handle the incident by proper size up and deploy your forces as needed or shall we say when needed!!!

hey guys- I saw skittles & singleton in the streets of MV all dressed n ready to go to work on 4th ave today. A small fire in the basement could have been their first "job". it was held in check with a little opening up to keep it from extending.

To the new guys,remember the old saying, the first impression is A lasting impression!!!!!!! a bad impression will follow you forever especially in the fire service. Its not all about firefighting,good luck n be safe.

just wondering how many firefighters would be interested in taking the CFR class that used to be offered? it would be 3 nights classroom and 1 class trip to the countyt airport.

OK, I AM GOING TO TRY TO GET THIS CLASS UP N RUNNING IN MID-LATE JANUARY.KEEP AN EYE OPEN FOR IT IN BULLETINS FROM THE FIRE TRAINING CENTER. IT WILL BE 3 CLASSROOM NIGHTS AND A TRIP TO THE COUNTY AIRPORT.

ribs are great!!!!

WOULDN'T IT BE NICE IF THE NEW RIGS COULD BE DELIVERED WITH MANPOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is something to think about- if a new officer both volly or career was never a ball of fire as a firefighter don't expect wonders from that person after his promotion! you can take all the classes in the world for officer developement but if the individual never did his time in the trenches chances are he won't be in the trenches as an officer. i know a few that bark out orders like they are general patton but that is usually when the smoke clears and the overhaul/salvage begins!!!!!!!!!!!!

boy does this all sound FAMILIAR!!!! I hope the injured member recovers 100 %, hopefully a lesson will be learned here for the admin of fdny as well as many other depts who do not have a plan for the purchase of apparatus. a lesson for depts who on a daily basis operate old worn out rigs as 1st due rigs. enough said!

Where the hell are all the pellets? I guess we all had the same idea, to save $$ on oil and went for the pellet stoves. The only problem now...where to get the pellets without being overcharged for the product?

LETS NOT PICK ON THE STREET VENDORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CISD FOR ALL THE LOCAL PD'S

TOO MANY CHIEFS AND NO INDIANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It appears that over the past few years alot of alarms turn into a major mutual aid response that not too long ago would have been handled by the department by itself. I am aware of the importance of fast teams, additional ladders etc. but are alot of the incidents anymore a little over kill? I know,its always easier to send them back but in some cases mutual aid is activated before the IC is even close to getting a look at what is going on. This post is not directed to any particular dept. and it is just a thought that I have and might bring out some valid information for moving so many rigs for basically no reason at all,lets hear some thoughts and please leave out the finger pointing!
