I'm terribly sorry for the mistake. I usually have exceptional grammar and will do my best to pay more attention to proof reading. I wrote the post while I PAID more attention to my music education course that I was sitting in at school. I did not proof read or really put much thought into what I was typing. I just wanted to get the thoughts out there. Do you have any comment pertaining to the topic of the post. (P.S. Did you catch the PAID in the title?)

Thanks!

Looks like an awesome event.

Awesome looking trucks. Are these replaced on in a certain time frame or are they replaced as needed? Best of luck with the new trucks?

If a member shows up in a pov, the firefighter reports to IC and is accounted for and assigned to a team or task. I am not sure what you mean by "till this member is there?"...what member? I meant when your team goes in to the structure, all team members are present and all can give their tags to whoever is collecting them. The safety officer should have a board with him that allows him to track how long teams have been in the IDLH. As far as exterior operations, I am unsure of exactly how this works by I would imagine that the exterior operations chief or officer keeps track of this. The exterior operations chief should be aware of all teams operating outside of the structure. Tags are not perfect, but based on so many departments using systems like this, it must work sometimes... when a perfect system is developed I am sure departments will switch over to it,

All the rigs looks great! Best of luck to all departments. Can't wait to see them in action. Post some pictures when they are delivered please.

Happy St. Patricks Day. Stay safe. Have fun if your marching today!

Looks great. Is this replacing the current rescue or is this in addition to? What is the actually length of the rig? (sorry if this was already answered) Best of luck with it!

Every department has different methods and what works for one might not work for another. Pleasantville FD uses accountability tags. We have a red one for all members and a green tag for interior members. Both tags say PFD on the back and have a picture of us on the front along with out full names. The Green tag also says interior on the front. Every truck in our department has a red tag on it in the crew cab that says the truck number on it along with PFD. While responding we attach our red tags to the red tag on the truck and hand it up to the officer. The officer then gives the cluster of tags to the IC once on scene. This provides the IC with who arrived on what rigs along with what rigs have arrived if he does not hear them call on-scene on the radio. The green tags are collected by the safety officer or someone else who is assigned to stand at the front entrance of the structure. The crew members going in hand him/her the green tags. This allows the Ic to contact the safety officer and ask who is in the structure.

The laddering stood out to me too. Great job by all departments working at the fire. Looks like it took a while to be put U/C due to the massive size of the house. I hope all went home safe and uninjured!

Congrats Millwood!

Pleasantville VAC voted at our meeting tonight to donate a check of $500 to the family. One behalf of PVAC, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

R.I.P. Brother. MY condolences to his family, friends, and fellow firefighters during this time of mourning.

It is simply amazing what people do!

Imagine a flaming duck running around your house! HA

Great pics, thanks for sharing. How many runs do they get a year. EMS? FD?

First off, I saw upstate and I assumed you meant upstate! (I'm away at school on St. Lawrence County...can't get more upstate!) Have you considered TransCare? They are a growing company. Majority of the employees I know enjoy working for TransCare.

Excellent post Lt.!

I believe it is up to the department. I know that there are department that allow 16 year olds to be senior members and interior firefighters.

Awesome pic. Looks like a great house.. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome looking rig. Great job by Pierce! I am also curious about why they chose doors and not roll-ups? Best of luck with the new rig!

Thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and fellow officers. May he rest in peace! "Only the good die young" - Billy Joel

Just curious. Is that a department snowmobile or is it one of the members personal snow mobiles? I'm glad everyone made it out safe!
