I personally like it a lot. I find it simple to use and well laid out. The only problem is i'm using Firefox, and the resolution wont fit on my screen...anything to help that out?

Thank god someone finally said it. In all honesty who really cares how we say something over the radio (still in the professional tone of course). Sure there is tradition and what not, but its time for a change people. Wake up, smell the coffee and catch the bandwagon...If you don't want to jump on, then don't bother chaseing it down.

I really like the new page, everything flows and is grouped together well...one thing I liked about the old page is the separation of the photo links with the boxes, with small photo examples under th link. It made the stand out really well. If you could put that in the new page, I think that would be great.

What an amazing show...i really enjoyed every last second of it. What really got to me was the last little fact that the show threw into it... "Every 78 hours a firefighter dies in the line of duty" this sombering fact needs to be changed asap...like the show said, there is no reason why firefighters should give their lives up for others in the line of duty. Top of the line technology impeded by a hundred years of tradition is no excuse for a LODD. As much as I wish and pray that there will never be another LODD, I know deep down that a fellow brother or sister will succumb to fire. What needs to be changed immediately is our own health. How can we possibly help others, when our own are dying of heart attacks and suffering from numerous cardiovascular diseases and ailments while on duty. Times have changed ladies and gentlemen and it is time to beat this outrageous number of LODD's by fighting fire with fire. Insist at your next company meeting or station drill that an exercise program is set up. The program does not have to turn you into triathlon runners, but merely keep you is good enough health to get the job done at the most efficient rate possible. It would kill me, and I'm sure every other member on this board and in the United States, to know that someone close to home died in the line of duty because of a heart attack on scene. If just one of our own can be saved by a simple exercise plan, wouldn't that be enough?

well is about 90 degrees here in florida...i just wish I was back home in the cold watching it snow

if you can set it up such like a personalized Google home page, where you can select what you want to go where, and what you want and dont want to see, that would be nice. The internet program is called ajax i think...but I will look further into it

holy crap

If I remember correctly from ALSFirefighter's class it was a crap-ton of kerosene

Someone was telling me that you have to be on the stair master for 2 minutes now without a significant heart rate change....can anyone verify this?

the only problem I can see is in the first few months...what happens when the first arriving unit mistakenly transmits the 10-75, instead of saying working fire....will 60-control ask for that in plain english, or just dispatch the working fire?

Ford and GMC are one now

New intro video up on their website...looks like its going to be a great show

Yorktown's is the 27

We've all used 10-codes and yes, we all have messed up using them...i know I have. Down here in Florida, no 10-codes period...and it works out PERFECTLY...no codes to learn, no numbers to interchange or mess up. Its very nice to understand INSTANTLY what they are saying instead of trying to decipher it.

Very nice video...and was that Yorktown's tones I caught about 1/2 way through?

maybe we should stick with the 10-codes just for this reason

Its about time...plain english is the way to go. I must admit...ill miss hearing "transmit the 10-75"

Oh my god.....

Yorktown Rescue 16 - 1 two man spreader, 1 single man spreader, 1 single man cutter, rams Engine 270 - 1 single man spreader, 1 single man cutter

Does anybody have any pictures of the incident? Im useing them for a project in school...citations will be included

I want to know how well it works...seems like a good idea

ill keep this in mind

I doubt it...its been done by members over 18 before, and unfortunatly will be done again by both....lets not just single out the JR's if we are going to educate the firefighters about arson
