I think the collapsable idea is a good one. I like the shout box because it allows people to chat real time while listening to incidents in real time. The abuse is annoying but might very well be worth it.

I heard the initial dispatch at around 1312. It was "for a plane down."

Same thing happens when you have parades. Apparatus are taken out of service but they are covered until they return. If something big comes in, you respond from the parade. With most of the response times departments in Westchester have, responding from parade would probably get them on scene faster than a typical response originating in their districts.

YNN Article

Any specific reason as to why the person tried to crawl away? It never hurts to be extra thorough when searching for someone. Especially when you have a good hunch (due to damage, blood, etc) that someone involved in the MVA is probably really injured.

RIP. God Bless you for all you did in your short life.
