So the lights on top of CSP don't count as marked?

We have what amounts to a large navy nozzle. This looks as though it is run by hydraulics. This is alot more "interesting" than what we carry.

I think they should call it the coward stick....... oh wait that's what we call the tower ladders.

I would love to do primary and secondary searches in a building with 9x6 rooms.

Well hopefully the one driving is the Chiefs aide and not the Chief. Or in this case the Incident command aide. He plays a big role and Chief officers in my opinion should not be driving themselves.

10/4. I had a brainfart. I should have picked up what was implied.

What the hell the does that have to do with the ISO rating?

I have to agree with you. I found this whole thing disturbing myself. This knuckle head has a full carry permit in PA and decides to walk into the ghetto with his weapon on his hip like John Wayne and not expect trouble. Then he decides that he is going to set up the PPD with his BS act on the street, and his BS acting like a lawyer, and his BS acting like a person who has no idea what it is like to be a ghetto cop. Just what these guys need is another TURD from the BURBS coming into town to start trouble. As though they don't have enough trouble with the people who live there. All he had to do was comply with the officers request and things would have worked themselves out.So as I said I found this very disturbing also. Sorry Philly for the ghetto reference. You are a great place to visit.

The city still needs to provide EMS to the residents.

I did not read the artical only his quote about hiring firefighters to be firefighters.

We need legitamate EMS not BS calls. A certain city in Westchester use to do 1500 runs a year with over 200 firefighters and now does 9000 with 155 firefighters. I would say that city fire dept is holding up to their end of the productivity agreement but not the city. I don't think you will find one person on this board, including myself, who would not be willing to do any and all real EMS calls. It is the general illness calls, the runny nose calls, the twisted ankle calls that happened at 4:00 in the afternoon and they need a ride to the hospital at 2:00 am calls. We all know the calls I am talking about. I have been around a little while.

Makes plenty of sense to me. The number of BS EMS runs we do is crazy. It wears down the Men, Rigs and is a total abuse of what we should be doing. 60 control to E 123 respond to 321 Smith st for a general illness. Way to go Mayor!!!!!

Not me, my union got me today off

I would definitely think that staffing is the reason why the Pelham stick was not raised. The fact that 2 guys arrive ( I think that's the # )at a job makes you decide your priorities. #1 forcible entry for the engine company, #2 search of the fire floor for victims and locate the fire for the engine company, #3 search above the fire for victims and vent, and #4 open up. Does not leave a lot of time for the LCC to stick the house. In New Rochelle our assignments are as follows for PD's and multi dwelling ( non high rise ) First due truck, officer and jump seat ff force entry search fire floor, first due chauffeur does a walk around looking for things the IC may need to know ( fire location from outside and victims hanging out windows or who have already jumped ) Second due truck, officer and jump seat ff go to the floor above and search while the second due chauffeur hooks up with the first due chauffeur and ladders the building with ground ladders or the sticks. Third due if needed picks up the slack, opening up, more ground ladders, secondary searches. Pelham is up against it as soon as the bells go off and truly have to "do more with less".

If 1 engine gets it they won't have to worry cause they don't stretch enough to have to worry about packing hose.

True statement. Manning has forced many jobs to become 1 fire cities. You can't worry about the one that may come in when you have one going.

Please call 911 I fell off my chair laughing and can't get up!!!!!

You Buff!!!!!!!!!!

If they want it to see fires it will go to E23. We can give it to E21 after we break it in

?????????????????????????????

How would that help?

Can you say sensationalism. That is what the article is providing. The media wants all the gun haters to be up in arms ( no pun intended ) and cry about this law. I am sure the Colts are not going to allow guns inside unless your a cop. It is also foolish for any stadium or private facility to stop off duty cops from carrying inside. I would want more help if things went bad at an event and cops were in attendance.

Now that's a good looking firehouse. We hear the companies there are top-notch. Station three, the place to be!
