Taken from a friend's FB posting: Now THERE'S a thought... Emergency Responders ONLY responding to ACTUAL Emergencies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here is a Press Release from Dutchess Co: And from the Dutchess County Emergency Manager's Officer:

No more discussion of the incident itself will take place here in this thread. This thread if for discussing the PICTURES taken. If people feel so inclined to discuss the incident itself, the operations, what was done, or not done, then they can take the initiative to start a discussion thread in the Dutchess County Local Forum! Any other critiques posted in this thread will be deleted by the Staff. THANK YOU FOR POSTING THE PICTURES MARK!!! Definitely nice to see what was going on, on the other side of the radio, and definitely NOT what any of us were thinking/expecting!

:lol:

And I'm sure DC911 was of some minor assistance with all the requests made, some out of the ordinary...

Not at all what I was picturing either!! Glad everything worked out for parties involved, all that damage, and the patient RMA'ed if I heard right!! And Dan, that joke... Only one expression can describe...

Your buddy MaryBeth?

Didn't know you could get 1st, or 2nd degree burns from spray-tan...

And I just wanted to clarify that my "tradition" comment was a generic one. I think it is sad that is how the fire service is, because I DO AGREE with the use of Foam/AFFF/CAFS!!!

Well the amount of the 'foam blanket"/bubbles also depends on the amount of aeration incorporated into the final foam product!

Maybe you were referring to it increasing the surface area with bubbles, because the surface tension is reduced?

The Village gets a lot of work going mutual aid to a LOT of surrounding departments. That truck has seen a LOT of action, the guys are well trained, and awesome to work with!!

As was mentioned in a previous post, and kind alluded to in others, CAFS is just another tool/tactic, as is PPV. I have dealt with CAFS on a couple occasions, and have been thoroughly impressed every time. I really think that foam IN GENERAL is a VERY under-utilized. The fire service... 200+ years of tradition... unimpeded by progress.

Here's a couple results from a quick Google search, hope this helps!!

Definitely a good video! Phones blew up that night! Some other videos I found quickly, with different views. **WARNING** Some language is less than, well, ideal, but such is life...

It is the NYS OFPC Site (under NYS DHSES), so if I were to venture a guess... I would guess NYS courses only. For County courses you would most likely have to contact your County Coordinator's office!

The above is true. However, if you are enrolled in, and taking a refresher/challenge course, and during that time your EMT-B lapses, NYS DoH will still recognize your EMT-B as valid, as you have made a "timely application for re-certification": http://www.health.ny.gov/nysdoh/ems/certification/certification.htm http://www.health.ny.gov/nysdoh/ems/emtbr.htm http://www.health.ny.gov/nysdoh/ems/pdf/refmod1.pdf

Yes, you are correct, but the man asked a simple question, what is so wrong with that?? Well it also comes down to needing it to be Blue like the rest of their equipment. Mark, maybe you can strike a deal for this apparatus that is already painted blue, and has a pump! It's not that old, although you may have a problem trying to get the department to sell it LOL!!

Read the posts in the Shoutbox, and check out the IA!

Proper or not, such is the way of the Capitalistic economy.

Thanks for thinking about the discussion and these findings!! Thanks for posting Kurt!!
