Great Photos! Thanks for Sharing!

The determination of a level 1 trama patient was made by the Ossining Medic (36M1) on scene and was rallied to IC for the dispatch of the Medivac.

I just recently ran into borrowlenses.com. I'm wondering if anyone has rented from this site before. It seams like a great idea. I may be interested in renting a lense for a couple of days this summer. Any input would appreciated.

Yesterday, on May 29th, Playland had its annual Veterans and Service Members Appreciation Day. Festivities included a performance by the West Point Concert Band, a Memorial Day Ceremony and a Helicopter demo by the United States Marine Corps. The demo included 4 different helicopters which were opened to the public. The USMC Soldiers were answering questions and going tours of the aircraft. Playland and The USMC did a great job with this event.

Thanks Seth! I too love the bailout sim. It is a great asset to any department. Here is another shot of it.

Thanks for the comment! I think the Maxim (E287) is still in front line service. However, when they replace E288, it will become a full time spare.

Ladies and Gentlemen, today marks the start of EMS Week 2011. It runs from the May 15 till the 21st. I'd like to thank all of the Emergency Medical Service workers out there, for the great job they do.

Bump! The event is tomorrow.

Just thought I would share some of my photos from the 1st quarter of 2011. and two from my Tampa trip, Comments and/or a rep are always greatly appreciated. Please do not take any of my photos without permission.

Well here is my opinion... What I like to see: Structure Fires, Car Fires, Major MVAs, MVAs w/injurys, MVAs w/extrication, MVAs w/rolloversMCIs, Aircraft emergencies, Hazmat incidents, rescues, marine fires and rescues, large Brush Fires What I don't like to see: False alarms, minor MVAs, medical calls, lockouts, kitchen fires, chimney fires w/out extention to structure, small brush fires, grill fires, animal rescues, ems assists, Overall, I think thses are good rules... Acceptable Types Of Incidents For IA's-Guidelines I also do not like to see 2 IAs for 1 incident. If there are 2, then the they should be merged onto the post with more info. [FYI, there is two for the Purchase MVA-Mods please fix]. I also would like see that everything is filled out on the template given. I would like to see the actual unit designations that was at the scene rather then just the department names. The First Due department should be listed first. Then the other departments should be mentioned in the order they are requested or dispatched. If there is a FASTeam, it should be noted in the post. If a frequnecy is not know, then the reporter/writer should look it up online. For most major scenes (ie. fires) a time of dispatch and a the time when all units are clear should be stated (if known). If the incident took place on a highway, try to state the milemarker or closest exit with direction (ie. northboud vs Southbound). Posts should have proper titles with Location, Type of incident and the date. If a notable media source has a article about the incident, I would like to see a link to the article. If there is a seperate discusion about the incident, a link should be posted. There should be no photos allowed in the IA. I think it is a good que to post a call if the county bat. cordinator is on scene. There should be no 10- codes used when writing out IAs. Just my 2 cents.

Here are some... Rye L26: 2001 Segrave Lo-Pro 100ft TMFD L19: 1998 Seagrave 100ft. I have seen a Spartan cab with a 100ft Crimson aerial. Metz also makes a 105ft aerial wilth a single rear axle.

2 words, Scanner Master.
