There were a lot of problems moving water immediately after 9/11. By buying 2000gpm pumps any engine can be a source or relay pumper. Its relatively cheap compared to adding more satellite engines.

Lets also not forget the response of the career depts to Pleasantville when the rear wall detached from a building on Manville Rd. The career depts have repeatedly shown they are fully capable of playing nice in the sandbox. Its time we focus on getting the job done right rather than getting everyone involved with the job.

HazMat is an especially contentious issue in NYC because technically the NYPD is the lead agency until the incident is determined to not be terrorism or criminal. However the FDNY is still to be in charge of decontamination and mitigation. NYPD frequently does not notify FD of suspected HazMat calls while they investigate them. This is not speculation, since I started working in Manhattan I have witnessed this on multiple occasions. This has been going on for years though. 9/11 hasn't changed anything, as HM1 is probably busier now than it was before.
The volume seems about right. The truck takes an inordinate amount of abuse for the sheer number of miles it covers.

Police commanders frequently prevent firefighters from doing their jobs properly during emergencies, ignoring protocols set up after 9/11 to ensure that the two agencies cooperate effectively, Fire Chiefs said in a 2008 survey published last year.



Nearly 200 Chiefs were asked about the Citywide Incident Management System (CIMS), which was established in 2004 after the 9/11 Commission found that poor coordination between agencies hampered rescue efforts during the terrorist attacks. The program dictates which agency takes command in emergencies, with the FDNY leading technical-rescue operations and the NYPD commanding hazardous-materials incidents until criminal intent or terrorism is ruled out. Other agencies, such as the Department of Health and the Department of Environmental Protection, often also advise the first-responders.

Coggs you keep on talking about alternating the money on recruitment and retention, but what programs actually attracts and retains volunteers?
In every review of these programs the results are at best inconclusive. The only effective volunteer retention program is paying them. Pay per call while effective at recruiting "volunteers" still doesn't guarantee their response. At what point its the cost not worth the uncertainty of response?
I love the volunteer fire service, and genuinely hope Stamford can maintain an integrated firefighting volunteer force (not the scene support rolls that many volunteer depts were relegated to when paid firefighters were hired). They have to be able to compete with the product offered by SFRD. If you're going to spend more money the product has to improve.

Any idea why only 1 manufacturer bid?

Why does it matter aside from maybe helping figure out what is wrong with the patient? Forget about how its just wrong to treat someone differently based upon a medical condition, what if they don't know they're carrying some disease. Everyone gets treated the same unless I suspect an infection requiring droplet precautions.

Its ridiculously easy. If you fail the EMS physical you should be loaded into an ambulance and taken to the ER immediately.
