  1. Not if it did not get out of the house........
  2. Hmmmm......Let's see how this is going to pan out........."Fire Service Operations Leadership with out any current or relevant training" Eitherway, it's not good. Just read some NIOSH LODD reports to see how its turned out in the past.
  3. There is nothing to lose by consolidation of smaller districts. People who fight it are ignorant and negligent. Do you really have the best interest of the patients or tax payers if you can't respond to the majority of the calls? You hear it over and over again, day after day, of re-toning for a driver or EMT. Maybe there is good reason for not consolidating and people just dont know........
  4. In the Northeast, there was a company called Jaffery, the made incoming gated relief valves for the pump panels, sometimes still called "Jaffery" valves even though Jaffery is out of business. Stay Safe.
  5. The Chicago Fire Department was the first major city to change from Scott to MSA. Now 2 of original 5 Metro cities to help develop early Scott SCBA have switched.
  6. "He added that the department has also seen more than 150 neck and shoulder injuries in a calendar year." What does this have to do with SCBA? Are they trying to blame these types of injuries on the Scott Paks? or Because these types of injuries are happening while firefighters are wearing the Paks and they need something to blame for the injury. Interesting Press Release.......
  7. From their Face Book Page; "the Village of Croton Board of Trustees approved to purchase a 2015 Spartan/Rescue 1 Demonstrator apparatus to replace our aging Rescue 18,"
  8. This 2% money in Hartsdale is split between the career and volunteer members, so it seems there are issues on both sides.
  9. Competition is coming........ Mylan launching cheaper, generic version of EpiPen! http://www.nhregister.com/business/20160829/mylan-launching-cheaper-generic-version-of-epipen
  10. Is it not amazing how the rules don't apply to these people?? There are 2 sets of rules, "The set for the politicians!" and the set for the rest of us...... Vote them all out!
  11. What I think is a t-shirt company who by its very name promotes itself on the very traditions that have mamed and killed firefighters. Do I like it: NO Is it going to sell t-shirts: YES (This is America, and Yes you have every right too) This is why the fire service can not get ahead of itself. If you are new to the fire service: Learn the history, or guess what, your doomed to repeat it. It's not cool, there is a reason why we dont ride on the back step anymore.........Change in the fire service is smeared with our brother and sister firefighters blood.. Read the NIOSH reports and you will understand.
  12. Look online for Vintage Vehicles : Maintenance and Technical Principles By Dr. Robert B. Marvin. He also wrote the Encyclopedia of American Lafrance,. Good Luck!
  13. Yes, this is a proof of concept platform. This will be used for pak tracker accountabillity, PASS Status, biometrics and more.
  14. The price actually less..........$1800.00 with new Mask $1500.00 if you dont need mask Scott sales people will have demos now. Wont replace hand helds but a really nice first step.
  15. It is 2 pieces.....The Camera on the out side of the face piece is screwed on the the frame and voice amp mount. The interior viewer is mounted in front of the nose cup. Runs a couple op hours on triple AAA batteries. Connects via bluetooh technology. This is proof of concept technology platform. It has its place in the fire service.

  17. You would think with all of the resources in Weschester, we wouldn't have to rely on NYC for this kind of technology?
  18. Yes, He is correct, but it does increase the odd's by "Exposure" Here is a more practical read: http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/09/our-toxic-homes/404722/
