I'll believe it when I see it...

Yes your correct. The ladder rolled onto it's drivers side at that fire. It was in the winter of 1976 I believe. The only thing that stopped it from completely going over was the ladder hit the building. From what I'm told there was a bad ice condition on the ground.

I gotta say I like that...

alsfirefighter are you always just one big ray of sunshine?

Colts...Big deal

Shouldn't you be stopping anyway? I mean it's common sense and the law. But then again common sense is hard to find.

Never saw it before...But maybe don't fill up your equipment in the same area your going to be using it... Just a thought. Sparks and fuel MMmm.

Very good web site... Lots of info. Thanks.

ok I'm up now...How does it end?

If it snows that means overtime for me!!!!!!!!!!!!! So bring it on.

That was bad... Funny also. I would have ripped some wires or something.Drove me crazy just watching it. I have to go check my ears now.

Morning Pride turnout gear.Carins 1044 with bourkes. I prefer the Ben II. gloves shelby gaunlet style.Ringer 911 for extrication. Leather boots pro warrington 5000sg. everyone has a personal CO detector. Hood. Fireground radio. Bail out rope. Harness built in the bunker pants. Some have the Gemtor II. I think thats about it.

Like I said in another forum all our chiefs work in town.And for mutal aid only one chief goes out of town. It all depends on who is available we would call eachother on the phone and ask who could take the out of town call. Sometimes it wouldn't even be a chief it would be a Lt or a Capt. Time of day all factors in to who goes. But only one chief goes out of town. As for I-95 or Hutch calls we always try to keep one chief in service as to not tie all three up on the highway which wouldn't make much sense anyway. I guess it comes down to your SOP's or SOG's. But I agree it dosen't make sense to send all out of town. We learned from our mistakes and I'm not ashamed to say but we used to do it. We had a call in Mamaroneck when all 3 chiefs were at the fire scene working and our ladder and engine were in stand-by at one of Mamaroneck's firehouse's and the whole time we were wondering why were not at the scene well it was because everyone thought we already were since they heard all our chiefs all over the radio. So the bottom line we make mistakes the important thing is to learn from them!! Accountablity also became a factor the chiefs should know where you are and what's going on but you can't do that when your fighting the fire. And I'm just learning all this but some of it seems so common sense. I don't know just my thoughts.

All are chiefs work in town the 1st asst and myself work for the Harrison DPW and the head chief works for the school district. As for mutal aid only one chief will go depending on the call. And for I95&Hutch jobs we try to keep one chief in service.

I really like that last shot... Nice job

My friend has one...Wasn't a big fan though it is a nice car I'm a truck kinda guy. Felt a little stuffed in the back I'm 6ft 250lbs... I guess I could always go on a diet,$hit I think I was on one...Now wheres that pizza?

See thats what I'm talking about...Not to get back on the whole paid/volly thing but,working together no mattter what,the life your saving dosen't care if your paid or volunteer. Sorry off topic had to do it. Now when is that meeting?(poking fun at myself)

Will I ever live this one down? And I think it's on a thursday

Yeah srcfd and myself went through this already in a PM. I was wrong... Shoot me.

I'm not sure but I think we went through this already. It's in a forum topic called How many calls in Westchester.

Your right and that would be the last tuesday of the month.

I have to agree with ALS you might have bail out rope,bought your own or department bought whatever the case,but how many departments really train on how to use it or require there members to take FF survival? FYI there's a company that trains you on the Gemtor harness http://www.firegroundtech.com/gemtor.html

Just show up at one of the meetings the last tuesday of every month. They will give you all the info you need. Starts at 7pm.

Wow Thats the first time I saw that it was so funny!!! I was laughing so hard. Can anyone say HAND TOOLS
