+1 Wow is right, great shots guys and another excellent job by the EFFD and all the M/A units

A few more: My reflection on 36-13, papa smurf with an orange vest, yeah I said it before someone else did! The brake/skid marks Badge on the rear of 36-2 Chief's vehicle:

here are a few shots of another tractor-trailer accident on the same corner in January 2009, you can the very large drop off after the dirt berm. photos from the Unionvale FD website.

Driver appeared to have non life threatening injuries, he was transported ALS. Thomas, in a few shots you can see the guard rails, on the other side of that is a large dirt berm and past that is downnnnnn down down. This "S" turn is the scene of alot of accidents. There was some steak and other goodies on board, all the contents left in the trailer. Here is a shot of the crew looking over the contents. Hey Joe put that back:

The final ones: 36-2, aka Bravo member JHK3605 pointing to where other vehicles failed to make this corner in the past

Some random shots: Firefighter Spock with 36-61 on top side for road closure FF Spock thought the road was closed, where did that bike come from? 36-13 36-61 Art in CC-16's rear window: View on top of 36-13:

And these are for Seth and the Wrecked watchers:

I was wondering how that went, I came over Macendonia Road today and there was road work going on just West of the Kent School and there was no trooper, which you always saw when work was being done, however there was a trooper on Main Street doing some foot patrol in and around the shops talking up the locals/visitors.

THE CITY OF GREENCASTLE, INDIANA, HAS STOPPED TALKING and started acting where it comes to lightweight construction, a.k.a. wood chips and glue buildings. City Building Inspector Dave Varvel and Fire Chief Bill Newgent are acquainting the citizens with a new identifier for buildings constructed with these materials. http://www.firegeezer.com/2009/05/13/lets-hope-this-sticks/ as posted from firefightersclosecalls.com

Josh here are the ones you sent me: And EMTBRAVO's own fiftyonepride himself

great shots of the day, thank you for sharing.

thanks for sharing, looks like a well run and organized operation

Cogs that is exactly what I was thinking (ban the product) but yes this is a step in the right direction and hopefully we will see more follow this forward thinking.

Chief just doing it the way I was taught, not enough of this is done, to many times I have heard "we can't worry about what MIGHT happen when this is happening now. I really can't argue the point when the the request is for manpower, my problem is when one piece, let's say a tanker is requested and four officers and 5 members go with it. Send an officer and a crew, if the IC wants manpower they should ask for it, bottom line it's all about accountability I was thinking last night about the cross training and how important this is with the M/A depts., Different air packs is one that comes to mind, we had rsponders go to the scene and we had no equipment there which makes it so important to know how and become familar with the other houses equipment. As X129 said after the Millbrook fire, being a former member there he knew where the equipment was stowed and he was able to get to work much quicker. It was mentioned by 67-1 that he drove one of Lagrange's tanker recently, well here he is, picture from the UVFD website.

I see Wassaic's Capt and Lieut. headed up the driveway.

Mark, great T-shirt I actually wore mine to work yesterday out doing fire inspections. Thanks I may just have order a few more.

The scene was well covered, we got the front, we got the roof, we got to the rear with the several different stairs/escapes, we got the responders and the crowd and even the power guy, as Dan once said, these are great tools to look over and see and learn from. Excellent stuff.

thanks for sharing, close call with the fluids and the water!

Jim and Bill great shots guys, awesome stuff, especially the sunset shot Bill
