Anything new?

One of the pros of a Fire District is being able to levy taxes. The Board of Fire Commissioners set their own budget and the amount levied by taxes without having to have it be approved through anyone else. One reason this is is because in a Fire District the board is elected by the public and considered its own entity. A Fire Protection District does not levy taxes but gets its money through an approved contract between the municipality and the Fire Department.

Any pictures from inside the cab?

Very nice trucks. I like how the tools are in the slide-out compartments, sitting down in foam. It is a good way to alleviate space on compartment floors.

I have recently (the past 3 weeks) have had problems on my iTouch. When I go to the .net homepage it shows me everything except the recent topics. Everything else shows up fine and works well. I don't know what the problem is, but I think an app like the facebook app would be good. A simple app with such things as recent topics, incident alert live, recent incident alerts, recent photos, a profile section, a search section to search posts and topics that might not be shown, and a way to add your own sections that you want to see (like Upstate NY or Apparatus Photos) so that you can quickly visit the sections that you frequently visit.

I couldn't get the link to work. Hopefully this one will work. Let the Lindsey hype begin

Also, OSHA only requires you to have bourkes eye shield while NFPA requires more of a full face shield. I thought that this was the only main difference between the requirements, I was not aware of the two inner shells. Before you purchase anything, make sure your department will accept it. If the helmet you purchase meets of exceeds the departments requirements they have to accept it. However, if it does not meet your department requirements, the department does not have to accept them. Meeting the NFPA requirements for eye protection will make it safer for you, but not having it is not a death sentence. FDNY uses bourkes eye shields on their helmets.

County - ambulance XXX it's time for a second, do you require? Ambulance - Yes, go ahead with a second. County - Receive, requesting a second dispatch Ambulance - County, disregard on the second. We are now prepared for take off. County - I'll show you responding at XX:XX

And the incident alert live section

I agree.

We have one mini-pumper with an enclosed pump panel. The main problem we have had is that we wanted to put a ball valve on the five inch intake on the drivers side (the only one on that side). We couldn't do this however because the door was in the way. And since there is compartment space on top of the pump, leaving it open was not an option.

Very nice photos. Thanks for sharing them.

You also have to remember that NYS license is good for 8 years. And NYS is broke and looking for money.

We do now have an aerial that we use. As for previous injuries, I believe that awhile back a person (or persons) have fallen off of the roof. We will go on the roof if there is a reason for it we just don't do it just to do it. It works very well for us. Also to add to our procedure, we always check with the TIC for any extinsion.

1) We empty the fireplace or woodstove. 2) We spray a dry chem extinguisher up the chimney until it comes out of the top of the chimney and there is no more fire present. 3) If step 2 didn't work, we have chains that we will use. It is part of our policy to avoid unnecessarily going on the roof.
