Oh you just HAD to be the showoff huh Porsha? Lol, oh well, yes, congratulations are due to Mr. EMTBravo himself, and to ALL participants of this forum, because without EVERYONE, this entire forum would not be as constructive as it has been, and will be hopefully for a while to come!

And for those of you who haven't heard of the Darwin Awards, click to view them:Darwin Awards The basic description of Natural Selection is: Those who can adapt to change will survive. If not, you are stupid, and will die.

Eh, this would count as an honorable mention in the Darwin Awards. I believe you actually have to off yourself to be a contender for the Darwin Awards.

I wholeheartedly agree with the idea for Verified Members. Granted it will give some credibility to some people, but in come cases it may not. You may have people who have been in the fire service numerous years, and dont know their @$$ from their elbow (hopefully no one here), and there are some guys out there who have been on only a short period of time, who may have a vast knowledge of many items. Basically though, I this it is a good idea!

648, you stole my line!!! I knew should have patented the whole "Stupid people=Job security" thing. You know, one of Newton's Laws of Physics states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Tell me how squashing a bug equals losing a hand. Guess it was a BIG bug, lol!

What exactly did you mean about Dutchess ziggy? There are no "assigned county medics". Look up to one of my earlier responses, and for a more accurate listing, check out Turborich's posting. Contract ALS and BLS providers, like Alamo, and Mobile Life for example, have multiple rigs, and can in theory, backfill, or use another available unit to cover multiple calls in the district. Again, I refer you to Turborich's posting for a very accurate listing (he has waaaay too much time on his hands lol!)

Hahaha, gee, thanks a lot Porsha!!

Can you feel the single tear falling?

A copy of the local newscast in relation to this test is online, anyone interested is welcome to view it at: http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=381ENN9...WW1RN7ZXWQ5PTNA The above link is a larger size file, for a smaller, and probably easier file to download and view, the link is as follows: http://s39.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1L5FD21...K917Z52LZIG3LUF This is only hosted on here for up to 7 days, before it has to be uploaded, and it has been up for a day or 2 so far. If someone does not get to see it, and would like to, I can have it uploaded again, just let me know! The videos strictly of the burn themselves are on the editing table now. What we hope to do, is compile several different angles, and hopefully actually capture on video, the failing of the connections themselves. Again, I will post a hyperlink as soon as it is up! Thank you for the interest guys! Its nice to see our experiments may one day help save firefighter's lives!

Hmmm, FedEx plane. Can anyone say "Castaway"? Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilsoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnn!!!!!

Mechanics on the ground 10 minutes after take-off: "Hmm....wonder where this screw goes to? Oh well."

This burn was held in cooperation with the DCC Emergency Services Club, and the Fire Science Program. It tied in with the Building Construction for Fire Protection class being run this semester. This is the second structural member test the program has run. They hope to show up close, the actual failing of the members of the truss, and to get this video out and available to everyone for a better knowledge. What was burned was a setup of 3 peaked roof trusses, and 3 TGIs, a.k.a. wooden I-Beams. This was a really informative, and eye opening experience to see happen exactly what we discuss in class. Like I said before, I would be happy to post here the link to the site where the video(s) will be hosted, and everyone can learn something from this test! -xfirefighter484x, a.k.a. President of the DCC Emergency Services Club

I will post in here when the videos are finalized, and edited and put on the web, hopefully an invaluable tool for all fire service personnel!

This past weekend, the Dutchess County Chief's Council hosted its 14th annual Dutchess County Weekend at the Academy of Fire Science. This year, the course offerings were Medium Structural Collapse Concepts, Roadway Safety, ICS-200, and Principles of Building Construction (Combustible). I would like to personally thank all involved with setting up and running this event for yet another awesome year. Thanks are due to the Dutchess County Chief's Council, and those on the committee, Ray "Dumpster" Davis, Matt Cady, Kyle Pottenburgh (County Car 13) and Steve Shultis, as well as anybody else who pitched in, bravo guys, a job well done yet again! To all those who went, just remember: What happens in Montour.....Stays in Montour.....
