  1. NOTHING! Now go ride your dinosaur.
  2. This was a bittersweet image to see, I recognized to many of those names but I hope it serves the district for many years and is as good a truck as she looks right now!
  3. Here is where passing on what you have learned to the people coming in behind you is important. TRAIN THE JUNIOR EMT'S on what you have learned is expected. One of the things that drove me crazy was when I asked a question or wanted you improve I got answers like "you f@#$ed it up! That doesn't help anybody
  4. You should be happy with the Lifeline, Waterford where I was a volunteer before becoming disabled, has had quite a few of them over the years and currently has all six of the units in service from Lifeline.
  5. Mark, Looks good and I hope it serves you well and best of all, I am not around to put a scratch on it!
  6. Because protest just for the sake of protest is silly and now Dangerous! The OWS crowd is doing nothing but costing the city money and can you sensibly articulate what they want to accomplish in order to end the occupation? I can't for the life of me understand what they want or want to see happen!
  7. Thanks! As I said i am going on a cruise 10/21 and will see if i can get any pics to update the thread!
  8. I don't think it's stupid, I like it!
  9. "Mark Z, the last post of this topic is over 90 days and a new post will now be considered as flood!" What does this mean? BTW, I'm just about to leave for a cruise next week, so this was good timing!
  10. I enjoyed both the pictures and your website, I hope to see much more of both!
  11. The question is will they stay an ISO class 1 department? I realize that the rating won't change but would they still receive the same rating if the evaluation was done after the layoffs, I doubt it!
  12. {Firefighter Luis Simon, who was dismissed and rehired in May along with 15 others after an arbitrator's ruling, said it cost the city $800,000 "to dismiss people last December."}Read more: http://www.miamihera...l#ixzz1ZN1roYYB It seems the City of Hialeah has had problems before and didn't learn from the situation. The city is making another stupid mistake and will probably pay for it in the long run. I just hope nobody dies as a result.
  13. I am not fond of the medium duty or whatever you want to call the ambulances on the international or freightliner chassis and don't think they work well as an ambulance so adding a cafs unit just adds something else they don't do well. I have seen too many meetings where politicians want to buy one of those monsters with a CAFS unit so as to cut another truck "Because it can do both" I have worked in that type of unit and find them horrible due to nothing being close at hand and everybody wanting to throw more on the truck because we have the cabinet space. You are entitled to your opinion as am I, time will tell if the idea works for Broward, I won't bet on it working! In my limited experience it isn't an idea that works very well and it may work for them, time will tell and I will reserve judgement until the units are in service for a while.
