Often, this is done for officer comfort. Having a half cage allows the drivers seat to be not as squished up front.

I would really like to see some of those members who have sent me complaints to speak up. Thanks to everyone for their great input so far.

Another good point brought up to me by another member, who has valid reason to remain anonymous and edited to remain so:

JFLYNN posted this in another thread, and I feel it's pertient here and something to think about when considering what other members have to say:

No, that's the kind of attitude we're trying to discourage and is causing a lot of the problem, and is disrespectful to other members. It is also a violation of the forum rules to intentionally incite conflict or tension between members. I don't want to censor posts, but members need to treat each other with respect, and giving other members enough respect to consider the way they are coming across. As a result, a lot of people are taking things the wrong way, and we are losing members because of it. It's very hard to convey emotion or tone over the internet. "Breaking Balls" and the "Firehouse Kitchen" are a lot different then an internet forum for a variety of reasons. Also, members are becoming discouraged from posting incident alerts and fire scene photos. To get under peoples skin "for fun" is not what this forum is about, is disrespectful, creates tension, and is what is causing a lot of the issues. Thanks to everyone for all the input, and I hope to hear some input from the members who have voiced concern about these members and threads.

MEMBERS: I just want to preface this by saying that, first, this was found posted on another great forum by "JoeG", of Railroad.net. It's very applicable to our type of forums as well. Although the majority of you are awesome and there's a higher level of respect between members of EMTBravo then any other forum I know of, we all work togetether to help maintain that and this message just serves as a reminder especially to our newer members who may not be familiar with the EMTBravo ways. Know that I am proud to have THE BEST forum membership on the entire 'net!-and want to keep it that way "Please Treat Our Topics As Conversations Between Real People"

I meant to photograph the pump controls in the cab, but it started raining and I've got to shoot this engine's twin, so I hope to get more detail in there then. I beleive you can charge the booster reel, a handline, and operate the remote control deckgun from the cab, and it is pump and roll.

And this is the Engine they are replacing: Sutphen/Precision

RIP. Some more to the story from "The Secret List": Sad end to this story from "The Secret List"

Sad end to this story from "The Secret List"

According to a posting on the FireEngines.net forum by a very credible and reputable member of that site, FDNY has awarded the bid to Ferrara for 5 heavy rescues to replace the current frontline rescue fleet. Further info: http://www.modelfiretrucks.net/smf/index.php?topic=12371.0

Ford has recently indroduced this very European mini-van to the North American market, aimed at businesses. I could totally see this being used as a command vehicle or ALS flycar. http://www.fordvehicles.com/transitconnect/

From a very reliable source, redlight, on FireEngines.net Forums

This issue seems to come up every few years......just going to make the city less safe, and not everyone has cell phones, and pay phones are becoming harder and harder to find.

There are definetly higher priorities, as I have a lot on my plate as always. The main expense would be my time (no monetary expense), as I would want to design and write the app myself. Also, something I'd need help on is idea for features of the app....

What are some features you'd like to see in an iPhone app? I'm also considering a Blackberry app for Blackberry addicts like myself.

Yep. They all take the train home to the Westchester suburbs or CT...............lol

This seemed to have failed on every level, from dispatch on down. You have someone who called 911 to report a fire also involving a home oxygen system, and nobody even makes contact with this female to ensure every thing is alright. There's seemingly no request for a callback to verify the address, and no attempt to callback after the line disconnected noted. This is just gross negligence if everything I read is correct.

Thanks for your input. At this time, negative reputation points are being limited and monitored/evaluated. Also, members cannot see who repped them.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Sgt. Foca http://www.lohud.com/article/20100118/NEWS02/1180326/1018/news02/Pleasantville-sergeant-collapses-on-desk-duty
