  1. Read this article: http://cms.firehouse.com/web/online/News/C...e/46$51850
  2. And that's when I developed my drinking problem..... http://drinkingproblem.ytmnd.com/
  3. Just kidding! I can't let this end, one of my all time favorite movies!! These people need to get to a Hospital! What is it?? Its a large building with lots of patients, but that's not important right now....
  4. Well, seeing as normally we try and keep all threads on topic......
  5. DCJPells is the Deputy Chief of Arlington. There are several other members of AFD here on the boards, and I am sure they would be happy to help answer any questions you might have!
  6. Tom, scroll ALL the way to the very bottom of the page, you will find them down there. Mr. G. Christ, George is an awesome guy, and I think the pics of him up there are awesome!!
  7. Please look around, or use the Search Engine before you post. http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/posting Laugh and enjoy it!
  8. Depends on the day, but we can run anywhere from 5, to 25 psychiatric patients through the Brinn on any given day. Not all get admitted for psychiatric care, but you also have to count the fact that the Brinn opens at roughly 0800-0900hrs, and can close anywhere from 1900-2300hrs. Saints is "planning" on keeping Brinn open 24/7 in the near future, but all that is going to do is alleviate the psych patients from sitting in the ER. Generally, the psychiatrists have bankers hours, and don't wander in on average until around 1100hrs, and end to leave like 1700hrs. Then from there, they just sit around with generally no disposition. The other psychiatric hospitals always seem to be full too, when I try and call for availability, so they will all be sitting in limbo, even worse than now! Seems to be the general list I go through! Most other places tend not to accept any that we call about.
  9. Dutchess Top 10 are in the works by Truck4 and the Moderators/Admin teams. Please feel free to add what you think should qualify here! A good start!!
  10. Looks more to me like Craig's trying to steal that light then he is helping!!

  13. Stupid People = Job Security
  14. Ok, I wanted to post this link while the thread was really active, but couldn't find it. I just stumbled upon the link, so here it is. http://www.emtbravo.net/index.php?showtopic=25528
  15. Its also the context it is used in that defines the meaning.
  16. If you do it as a get-together though, going a bit earlier, you don't get the overwhelming college crowd. Waiting until 10, 10:30, 11PM, you will encounter the college crowd, yes. As I said though, going earlier, you can avoid the major college headaches.
  17. This is the one and only warning to keep this thread civil. If you have personal issues, take it behind the scenes, in PMs, or bring the issues to a Moderator. We do not condone personal attacks, or attacks on other organizations/outfits here. If this persists, the thread will be locked.
  18. Lol, well its easy to see that people from the Western region of Dutchess think somewhere in Poughkeepsie, and people from the Eastern region agree with another!
  19. And that exact reason, tdc202, is why I suggested it to RWC!!
  20. Check out the following resources made available from Dave Walsh, and the DCC Fire Science Program/Emergency Services Club. http://faculty.sunydutchess.edu/walsh/vide...SES/trusses.htm Just keep in mind, buildings are built cheaper and stronger for daily use. They are not built to withstand fire. Current trends in cheap strong construction techniques aren't built for FF safety.
  21. Lovely, thanks Scooter.
  22. Its snowing here in Poughkeepsie. Already got a dusting on my car! I hope all the yahoos don't end up with me in the ER tomorrow morning.
  23. I especially LOVE how all the newspapers slant it "FDNY Firetruck SLAMS Into Bus" You will never see "Bus SLAMS Into FDNY Fire Truck"
  24. Isn't the first time we've seen a story like this posted on here. I'll see if I can find another one!
