nice, diffrent....i like it

Does 60 control or any self dispatching department in the county have evacuation tones?

i know its the standard that when the IC calls for a evacuation at a incident that the air horns are blown. Some departments and one for example prince georges county fire, there comunnications have a spiecal tone for when the IC calls a evacuation, its not nessarly meant to alert pagers but your gonna here it on the radio the radio that you should be wearing inside a fire. its a long and distinct tone so everybody knows what it is. My department doent have a evacutaion tone but they do have the long all page tone like westchester does. Its been used once or twice to insure that everybody heres whats going on incase they for some reason didnt hear the horns as for tone for indian point, which was my old first due, if thoses tones went off and they wernt testing the sirens you would find me at the local bar getting my last drink [-o<

just trying to ask a serious qeustion and have a good descusion but looks like ive been highjacked good talk see ya out there!

waking up hungover ](*,)

as for your comments about being called "ticks, or squrreirls" Im sorry that you find that ofensive, im carreer and i volunteer, and if somebody called me that i would laugh. I cant believe you come on this web site and bash the department you volunteer for. Theses people have no clue about the dept. and you just tell them all the bad things that you have been threw with this dept. You forgot to tell them that you live at your firehouse rent free not to mention a brand new station, you get paid $10 a call so your makin maybe a $1000 a month give or take with the call volume , paid training, the dept has paid for most if not all of your classes. Oh you even get to do your laundry for free. Now if your so worried about safety and your officers telling you to do somthing you dont feel safe doing why did you and why do you do it? why dont you test for officer? I think your full of sh*t that soembody sent you in a collapseing building James You may not like the career guys and they may not like you because of your actions your imaturity sometimes, i have not wittnessed any of your actions but ive heard stories, and i dont hold them against you. maybe you need to vollunteer at another staion, in the country maybe see how things operate out there. The carrer and vollies have a great relashonship many are great friends. As for the dept. i have been here 2 years now and i have sen the dept grow in postitive ways. Yes the dept. is very young and yes we need to get alot of things worked out and that will happen in time, Im glad i moved out of westchester and im glad i moved here no regrets, do i miss home? yes sometimes but i will never move back there. You really dont know how good you have it down here

well anybody who has done CPR knows there gonna feel some ribs cracking, more common in elders. some even say " if you feel the ribd cracking you know your doing good CPR". Im surprised they havent tried to bring the crew up on charges yet.......politics politics ](*,)

=D> just what i was thinking

you guys can give out tickets? summons? for that?

well at least we wont have to stay up till midnight watching fire house USA and Rescue Me

well its pretty obvious that the units on scene are gonna blow there horns

I understand being cut off, but for you to stop at her house on the way back from the call was out of line. I would have just let teh cops handle it. You never know what you could have been walking into, angry husband with a gun, at the front door or a nasty dog let loose on you. you never know waht people are gonna do these days ](*,)

the chief!!! and tommy

I live in Horry County SC (Myrtle Beach area) We are a combi department with about 300 career and about maybe 300 vollies. The vollies are paid $10 a call and i believe $10 for every hour after the first hour of a call. They fianlly stopped the responses of vollie pov to medical calls cause they would show up with the medical knowlege and get in the way,scream on the radio or just sit there and collect $10. The county just recently started up a support staff. kinda like a ladies axullary. so know they too are getting paid $10 a call to do nothing, really to do nothing. maybe get water is the most they might do. Im origanlly form Crugers NY if anybody knows where that is...(between montrose and croton) Im in no way knocking vollies i sure havent forgot where i came from and never will. I just really think that if your gonna volunteer you shouldnt be paid i guess cause thats the way it is back in good olde westchester county and they way i was brought into the service, im mean your getting all the free training you want....I wonder how many vollies would stick around if they got rid of paper call....i bet i could count on my fingers how many would be left in my dept....how many would be left in yours? :-k
