ALS, I don't think anyone, Lt McCormack included would disagree with that risk isn't worth taking. The issue people are starting to have is situations where say you have a daytime fire in a 3 story residential unoccupied and under renovation with similar attached on both sides. So you have no one inside the original fire building confirmed by the construction forman. Both attached have been evacuated which can easily be verified by a quick search. Second floor is well involved and you're getting smoke in the exposures. Do you make an aggressive interior attack to save the exposures or write all three off? I know there are hundreds of variations and people can debate them all. But the question is at where do you draw a line?

SAT. MAY 2 , 2009 3PM TO 7 PM MULCAHYS IN WANTAGH 3232 RAILROAD AVE. WANTAGH LI $50.00 at the door. includes open bar , food, raffles , door prizes , 50/50 live music by 2 bands and DJ. http://www.4johnmcnamara.com/ Sadly these events are becoming so common it borders on a burden to try and attend all of them. I didn't know John from a hole in the wall until a few weeks ago when I met him at Sloan. He is genuinely a great guy who has been very involved in protecting those sickened after 9/11. After 5 minutes with him, you can't help but like him and despite how seriously ill he is in minutes we were laughing like old friends. They've got some pretty impressive prizes lined up for the raffle and Mulcahys is a great spot even if it is out in Long Island.

Bump The raffle list is staggering... Multiple big screen tv's airline tickets to various destinations (including 2 for London) sports memorabilia Various tickets to just about every local team and the big prize 2 tickets to Super Bowl 44 4 nights hotel stay celebrity golf outing celebrity bowling night 2 live bands, FDNY pipes and drums, guaranteed great time even if you don't go in on a raffle

Its amazing how much change a little bit of work can effect in these systems. The Bronx Medical director for the FDNY, several NYC doctors and FDNY Paramedics have made many trips to India on their own time and often on their own dime to assist in the organization of some type of EMS system there. They come back with stories of hospitals using donkey carts and people getting to the hospital on the back of a stranger.

What does the gator task force consist of? Do any depts with large areas of brush to cover do any training on brush fires? In areas with much more frequent and sever brush fires they are able to handle more with less. Maybe we should be taking a different tact than just humping hose and water into these areas.

Chris an excellent example from the PD world is the change in tactics after Columbine. Wait for SWAT, ESU, etc with their better armor, more powerful weapons, and more training is much safer for the officers who have to make entry. The risk off regular officers being out gunned is worth the reward of an aggressive initial attack. Same for fire.

yeah, on occasion you think you feel an odd bump in a turn and then as you start to realize there's a shimmy in rear you'll notice two wheels shoot down the street in front of you while you suddenly grind to a stop. In every incident I was either in or there for they never found anything wrong with the trucks or wheels.

How much cab space do you need? If you operate 2 or 3 ff's and an operator commercials give you a significant financial savings over custom.

I still love me a '97 once in a while. Great turning radius, vent windows, keyless ignition (on the good ones), and auto eject wheels. My back however will not miss them.

Al this money and the press conference are not about brush fires. Brush fires are just the vehicle for Schumer to get on the podium and push for money for the Fire Act grants, SAFER Grants, etc. If anything is going to change these depts are going to have to follow the standard grant application process. Its not just for rockland, everyone potentially has access to the money.

All of the American cases and many of the mexican are so far the same type of flu strain as swine flu. They're waiting to determine if it actually is swine flu. Time will tell what we actually have here.

In theory its 5 years of frontline service and 5 more as a spare. After the recent surge in new vehicles all the 97s should be retired and all of the frontline buses should be under 5 years. The only remounts are from damaged vehicles. They'll swap out engines and transmissions but once the chassis is worn out the box goes with it. After 10 years there really isn't much service life left in our boxes

except you forgot that this was the best bar in town and the only one they 10th guy's wife would let him go to. I can live much better on 50% of $1,000,000 a year than I can live on %100 of $15,080 a year. I AM NOT ADVOCATING OUT RIGHT SOCIALISM. However we have a long standing tradition in this country of the haves assisting the have nots and the more you have the more you have to share.

What size shoe do you wear? Manufacturer requires 10 or larger, but I've seen in forums where people were successful with shoes as small as an 8. From a seated position apply the heal of the shoe/boot directly to the head unit with sufficient force to affect change. Repeat as necessary until problem message is cleared from the display.

What kind of headline is that? SUV picks up jacko after striking ambulance. No one is going to read that. Jacko flees... is good for a few hundred thousand views. ...after crash with ambulance is a few thousand more. Especially considering most people don't read articles the accurate headline is no good.

Its an electronic release. The capacity depends on the size of the bucket, Chris would have to answer for their specific bucket. There are techniques with any water application, bambi buckets even have accessories. There an aerator sock, they can accommodate foam, my suggestion would be "The Google". They seem to know everything. Fyi, bambi bucket is trade name for sci? sei? sbi? s 'something' i industries. Good luck in your search.

black, blue, day glow orange doesn't matter. If the flashing lights and scotchlite aren't enough for visibility car color won't help. Black and white is cheaper to buy and cheaper to maintain.

Absolutely. People can lie over the phone and often enough calls are sent out BLS that should be ALS. Callers simply cannot be relied on to decided who should and should not receive a bus. Letting crews on scene tell people to take a cab is absolutely the way to go. Even establish a voucher system where these people with a CAD number and a stamp or signature from the clinic/hospital could get reimbursed a few bucks

no one is saying that they don't do a great job. The issue is cost. Can they get adequate coverage for less money by contracting with Country PD?

NYC EMS RN's just handled call typing. Everyone still got an ambulance.

volunteer EMS was brutal. Some people saw these runs as a chance to socialize and it would turn a 45 minute call into an 90 minutes or more. There are also very few false alarms in EMS so almost every call is being transported. Volunteer fire averages probably 30 minutes including BS time after the call.

Even in EMD based systems, everyone is getting ambulances just some people are waiting longer. If Philly does this it would be the first in this country that I'm aware of where they will tell people they do not need an ambulance. I can't even tell a guy with a tooth ache he doesn't need an ambulance. An interesting affect of EMD, I've had a couple of people over the years call a cab for real emergencies because when they called for BS it took 20 minutes to get a bus. They thought thats how long it always took. One with a tummy ache put it best, "If I can wait I'll call an ambulance."

FDNY has 5 plus the MRTU "BOB". THey can treat and transport multiple patients but are usually used as a sheltered treatment area at MCI's. In that respect the BOB is much better because it has a more open layout and can handle more patients. The biggest flaw with the system is that the personnel that will be providing treatment on these vehicles come from line units and can just as easily transport the patients in their ambulance. This turns the MERV into an RMA factory.

Considering there thousands upon thousands of defibrillation attempts every year I'd day its pretty rare. 3 of those 4 articles were about 1 incident and the 4th is about the phenomenon in general. I would bet that all of these fires were the result of human error (wrong gel, improper placement, etc), defective equipment, or static.

That would be logical. I can guarantee based purely on that Marine 9 is 20 years older it will be replaced last.
