  1. Scenario submitted/developed by:x635 You're the Paramedic Lt. of a Paramedic truck company. You are responding to a structure fire, report of 1 subject entrapped. Upon arrival, you notice an older three story wood balloon frame Victorian-type structure with fire showing from the left side of the structure. As you exit the vehicle, you are approached by a hysterical female screaming that her elderly father is still inside, probably in his bedroom, on the right side of the structure up the stairs. She states everybody else (her, her daughter, and her son) got out through the front door and her husband is at work. As you and two firefighters approach the front door, you noticed it is locked. You force entry to the structure, and start your primary search. You notice fire on your left on the first floor, go up the stairs, and go towards your right, As you enter the last bedroom at the end of the hall, you see an elderly male sitting in a chair, looking relaxed. As you say, “Sir. Lets get you out of here” and put your hand on his arm to help guide him out, he sternly tells you to “get the heck off of me, I'm not going anywhere!!” and pushes you away. You try persuading him to comply with you and go, but he still refuses and is becoming increasingly hostile with you. The room is starting to fill quickly with smoke and you know the fire is close behind. Your truck operator has just positioned the bucket of your truck outside the window after hearing you’re “found” call and seeing you open the window. As a paramedic, you do a quick assessment and find him mentally competent and showing no signs of medical distress. You hear the Engine Lt. over the radio report the fire is in the walls “big time” and request additional lines stretched. What do you do?

  10. The photos are TEMPORARILY REPOSTED. Please read the message on the that page for further details. It's with great hesitation (and sadness) we are posting these photos,since we do not beleive in promoting negative eventsin the fire service, however the decision was made after much discussion since photos have already been seen by many in the Journal News, News 12,email, etc The photos were originally taken down out of respect for the members of E119/T10 and CFD, but the decision was made to TEMPORARILY repost the photos due to extremly heavy demand from many sources. We wish the crew a speedy recovery Related:Recent Jacksonville, FL Tanker Rollover From JRFD.com http://www.jfrd.com/images/Tanker%2031%20R...32304/index.htm
  11. The pictures are down temporarily, and it was completly my decision, out of respect of the members of E119/T10 and CFD. I really don't like to post those types of photos, but due to the heavy demand, I will *reconsider* posting on Saturday. I'm glad the crew was alright.

  20. Scenario Submitted By:x635 You've just been appointed Training Officer for your department. Your smaller department provides Fire, Rescue, And EMS services, and does approx 300 fire and 500 EMS calls a year. Your Chief has complete confidence in you and given you the go-ahead for anything you might feel is neccasary, and you have unlimited funding thanks to a special grant. The former TO was never around,and when he was didnt do much, and many members of your department are new, or older and have gotten lazy or bored and non complacent. What would your primary intial goals be as it relates to improving training and boosting enthusiasm for operations as a TO for your FF's? (Note: Still Looking For More Scenario Submissions. Anybody Wishing To Contribute, See The WWYD Writers Wanted Thread)
  21. Anybody get their results from the WC FF Exam in May? If not, any idea when they are supposed to be coming out? Anxiously Awaiting, LOL
  22. Truckies, What Do You Prefer, And Why? Vote above.
  23. Part I: A $10,000 grant has been made available to a department in Westchester who makes the best case for the need. What would YOU purchase to improve your department's suppresion or rescue operations and WHY? Part II: If there is enough entries in this thread, we will "award" the fictional grant to one member based on membership input in a yet-to-be determined way. Again, this is fictional, no real money exists, lol.

  25. EMTBravo.com, with the logistical support and idea of EMTBravo Network Members, has decided to conduct a 2003 run survey of Westchester Fire and EMS Departments. Several members have expressed their interest in this, and we thought it would be a informative feature. www.emtbravo.com/RunSurvey Any Chiefs, or their designees, may submit their department's information to EMTBravo@EMTBravo.com. We are asking that only Chiefs or their designees (Dept Officers,Record Keeper,etc) submit information so that we can reflect only the most accurate,truthful, and quality information.
