Dover Station #1 response area: Dover and NDP were dispatched for a 2 car MVA on Route 22 with entrapment and wires down, Wassaic 69-62 was requested under mutal aid per Dover Command to shut down Rt. 22 at the South entrance to Rt. 343, Dover 36-61 and Wassaic 69-3 (me) conducted a road closure at Rt. 22 and Mill Street. Drivers door had to be popped with the hydraulic tool, Pictures are after the power has been killed and all victims removed.

Power company was there fairly quickly, I was on the road closure detail so I don't really know the time frame, they were there before I got up to the scene and yeah the batteries on the ground, just another thing to look for.

Thanks Jack for the kind words and adding the thread of the build process, I misread Josh's post about the pictures, didn't realize he was looking for pictures of the BRAT.

There is no combi tool on 62, all of our extrication tools are on 69-51

This incident was not in our response district, we were called under mutual aid for a road closure assignment however the BRAT does respond to MVA's within our fire district as it carries an assortment of hand tools, SCBA, a portable winch,Class A and B Foams as well as fire police items just for road closures as Josh just mentioned.

FireFrame is an excellent interactive website to assist firefighters (especially new) with the basic information on the structural use of traditional and engineered wood products in modern construction. http://www.woodaware.info/fireframe/index.cfm?

It really is an excellent resource for new firefighters.

To funny, I am headed down sometime in the near future to take a peek, we have never been down before, should be a nice time with the family.

excellent pictures, thanks for sharing, nice to see some on scene shots again!

exactly the way it should be done

That is exactly what I expressed during this drill, do the evolution just as it would occur if in fact it was "THE BIG ONE". Also record the time required to fill each tanker, the location it was filled, the dump time of each and how many loads for each tanker were dumped during the drill.

Well said Anthony

Nate those two classes are basic classes that ALL firefighters should have and I appauled you for traveling to the NYS Fire Academy to take them however to take those classes which total 36 hours, add in the requirements of the on scene investigation hours to become a Level I or Level II investigator and then take the 80 hour Fire Arson Investigation Course which is given at Montour most volunteer members do not have the ability to take time away from work to complete the required hours. I know speaking personally, I have been in the fire service for 28 years, have served as Fire Chief, have helped and determined the causes of fires, have my Fire Investigator Certs however I do not have the ability to travel to Montour and spend 2 weeks for the 80 hour class because of work, etc. Bottom line is the Dutchess County FID Team consists of highly experieced individuals from the fire service, police, and legal services and to cut them from the budget is a travesty.

October 28, 2010 through October 30, 2010 to be held in Ellenville, NY @ the Honors Haven. http://firedistnys.c...iveschedule.pdf Is there anyone from the area headed over, I have never been to the this show but will attend this year as our "Spoiled BRAT" will be on display by Firematic.

thanks Chief I will make sure I get some shots of it while I am there.

anyone else headed over on Saturday?

good stuff as always, thanks for sharing Seth

I was hoping to see 51-31 there

I just noticed you got me in this shot at the rear of our tanker, it was a really good drill, thanks Carl Q (Dover Car 4) Richie G CC-9 and all the members from the departments for taking time out to join us and make it a very successful training event.

great shot, by the time I got to get over there, it was getting picked up, man I wish I knew that was you down at the pond taking shots at the same time I was.
