There is always the AmericanRedCross International Relief Fund, if you care to donate $.$ http://www.redcross.org/

This event is just a few weeks away, Vendors and attendees register now, or make a note on your calendar! Last year's event had over 400 Firefighters, EMS, and Administrative personnel in attendance! click for more info

I read somewhere it costs NBC around $400,000 per episode for Leno as opposed to something like $3,000,000 per, for a drama series like L&O SVU in a similar time slot. That's a LOT of ad revenue to cover, and NBC blew it with their greed by trying to pocket more money. No Loss.

The box on the back must be for his batteries. Those sirens can dim the headlights of a running truck!

11/16/2004 was the last fire, I was working on location to secure gas utilities. Here's some pics I just found online via Google: http://www.pbase.com...yonkers_ny_1116 Linked Images are the property of the photographer, Keith Muratori

I guess they forgot to account for heavy frost-heave raising the road bed a couple of inches...among other things...

Again, that is not going to happen, unless: if everyone fails to keep it a civil, constructive conversation. For the record: the ONLY reason posts and threads only get removed is for cause, that is, for failing to follow what essentially boils down to treating each other with fairness and respect.

I totally disagree. Close it? Why, to avoid the subject? Maybe someone with the answers to these questions will come along, and put an end to the sniping that appeared when these very same questions were asked before. Then again, maybe we won't get an answer here.

What I have trouble grasping is, commercial test-preparers create most of these exams with a great deal of input from the end users, and they go out of their way to be non-discriminatory. How come results are questioned or get thrown out and certain groups cry foul because after all is said and done, a number of certain individuals from different backgrounds cannot get the same grades as others who took the same test? A test is a test. You prepare, you study, then you take the test. If you do poorly, don't blame the test. Maybe it's me....I don't get it.

What a mess. Did the guy in the car pull out on to the road and crash right into the truck?

That was a real good game. I enjoyed watching (most of) it.

Happy NEW YEAR! Everyone goes home.

Really there is little anyone can do until the power is cut. Since the burnout appears to have been outside the manhole structure itself and inside a duct, filling the manhole with water will not always work, especially on a 13.8 KV feeder fire.

I have been involved with many of these events over the course of my ConEd career. The term "manhole fire" is commonly misused, what most of the time is actually happening is a cable fault and burnout occurring in an underground feeder duct between manholes with the combustion products venting to the manholes on either end of the duct run. The spectacular manhole-cover-propelling-explosions that occur, happens when accumulated CO from the smoldering cable eventually ignites. Sometimes a splice in a manhole fails resulting in a similar manhole cover displacement, but these generally self-extinguish fairly quickly once the electrical fault burns clear. Anytime there is natural gas associated with these burnouts, it gets way trickier. In addition to CO traveling into attached structures through underground ducts to service boxes connecting structures, you can end up having natural gas released as well. Underground plastic gas mains and services can melt if in proximity to an electrical burnout. The soil can get white-hot (10,000 degrees F) from the electrical current flowing, which softens the plastic gas pipes to the failure point. Once outside the pipes, gas migrates along and into any suitable underground structures, such as sewer, water, telco, cable, and can get into surrounding buildings. So, If you're ever involved in an underground electrical burnout or manhole fire, make sure the Gas Utility is advised of the situation as well as electric, so they can respond someone to confirm the absence or presence of natural gas facilities which may be impacted.

Seth shut the topic down after the discussion turned irrelevant, and numerous complaints were made from staff and members alike.

A few questions: What browser are you using? It it every page view? I can't duplicate this on my computer. The only thing I can think of is any one of many elements that load from different files on our servers to display your page is being delayed, and when the full content finally arrives, the page snaps to the top.

Ok. Next?

That was exactly my position. We're always open to topics that stir debate and passion. Those generate the most interest. That's how we all learn. There is a fine line, and that line is sometimes vague, but when crossed, often it becomes difficult to decide if there is any redeeming value to continue. Other times there is no question. We strive to allow free discussion, as our community can only grow with shared knowledge.

You will definitely need a router to connect multiple computers to the cable modem. It can be hardwired, where you physically connect a CAT5 ethernet cable to your computer from the router, or you can go wireless. The difficulty of running a cable will make your choices easier. Direct wired is best. You will need a RJ45 ethernet network connector in your computer, unless it already does. Ethernet adapter: http://www.staples.c...DP1804:CL141707 or, http://www.staples.c...rea=sku_pd_box1 Turn everything off, and Install the router, connect all cables, Restart the cablemodem and wait until all lights are steady then power up the router. After the router stabilizes then turn on your computers. To connect wirelessly you will need a wireless router and a suitable wireless adapter on your computer, most newer laptops already have the adapter built-in.

I'm going to guess that's looking East on East Post Rd and Mamaroneck Avenue, and was taken from the "Roger Smith Hotel" Now the Coachman

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, And a Healthy, Happy New Year to everyone! Thanks for making EMTBravo.net THE online community that it is.

There is a Facebook group that recently opened: The city of New Rochelle doesn't care about the safety of your family http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?ref=name&id=1641308626#/group.php?v=wall&gid=234933696396 Consider joining and pass it on to your contacts.

E. Harwich: I measured 15 inches. Heard on the scanner lots of rigs all over The Cape (EMS- FD) getting stuck in the snow.

Nicely done!
