  1. If your CO call is for an IDLH range, it wouldn't be coming from inside. These are the biggest nuisance calls. It clearly is written on the detectors (most) that three beeps means you need a battery. My favorite is how long has it been going off? 2 days. Why did you call us at 330am? Cause I couldn't sleep.
  2. Cause we know it bothers you.
  3. I would say bad is that you lose both when you lose one. So you blow a line or a fitting for the tool and you have to forfeit the entire unit till it is repaired. Any reason you want to combine both? Why not just use an electric one? That way you can change power units if you want to go to a different brand or different pressure.
  4. One is a Citroen the other is a I think a peugot Both from Europe.
  5. The water isn't so bad, when it soaks the sandwiches it can cause a near riot though! Thank the ANG from Louisiana for that gem of a drop during Katrina.
  6. Our mechanics are really looking forward to the KME's. I think they all bought brand new cars in preparation for the delivery.
  7. That is commendable that they did this. Perhaps you could PM me so I could get your email address so you could send me the SOP for reference.
  8. They probably have bendix king's programmable to all bands and PL or DCS tones. Not trunking capable though.
  9. Rob, the real story was that cop standing there patiently said NOTHING to the member who came down for recon. I mean zero, it wasn't till he saw the hand coming up through the hole for the pylon that he was like OMFG a person is under there. Bn 19 made a report because it was all $hit canned when he brought up the issue that the cop said nothing awaiting ESU.
  10. Tell me one volunteer dept that has drug testing. Not only should you be drug tested, but alcohol testing as well if an accident occurs.
  11. Well, the real deal is that we don't know 'when' the next firefighter exam will be, but traditionally it is held every 4 years, with the last one held in 2012. Straight from the recruitment unit role play lol
  12. How about this, how many of you are up for mandatory drug tests for all members? And at random? You want people to inject themselves with a what if? Then you should all be willing to accept a drug test.
  13. I had to do it in 11:30 when I went through. And to the guy with a daughter doing it in 8 minutes, you sure about that? 530 miles is pretty quick!
  14. Get a mask that fits. If you are wearing a mask that fogs all the time its because the face cup is not sealing against your face and your exhaled air is escaping. The only other time this occurs is when you leave an area of superheated air and enter ambient temperature. And at that point you should probably be out of the IDLH.
  15. He did a tremendous amount for Putnam County Fire and EMS. He fought long and hard. I hope that the heavens bring him plenty of joy and that the end of his pain brings some relief to his three sons and his wife. He was a fireman in 45 truck, and retired as a Lt in Ladder 31 which during his time found him being first due truck to the Happy Land fire among many other notable fires and events. All three of his kids followed his footsteps and I am sure are proud of his accomplishments.
  16. John was class act all the way! He was a complete gentleman and led by example. What a tragedy.
  17. I don't even know this guy, but from the sounds of it, if you are against him you are a moron. Any man who is willing to risk his reputation for the safety of the men is what I consider an allstar. All these guys who think he is the problem should go take a walk outside of Sloan Kettering on York Ave. Look at all the people who are sick from cancer, then see why this guy is so adamant about your welfare. Or you could just be in the clique and suck up to the next Chief and get stretch marks on your mouth.
  18. I guess you forgot, its called discretion. And yeah, when the guy cuts me off and wants to wave his hand in anger cause I am not doing 1000mph in the middle lane I don't get upset, nor do I get upset when someone feels like giving me a menacing look or any other situation you could think of that would warrant one being worried about their own safety.
  19. 233 276 all the same nonsense lol And the MCC 2 was donated by the old Bronx Boro President and is ironically housed in Manhattan.
  20. Well I would rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6. I know a lot of guys who carry a gun without permission in NYC. I also only know of one Lt in the Bronx who would force an arrest for such violation. I highly doubt though that if this guy was carrying a gun the confrontation would have escalated the way it did. He would have felt no reason to flee, he would have probably been in control of the situation.
  21. Skeeter, this is Roscoe, go hit the jones driveway again, she can't get out, Roger Roger
  22. FC1 is with 276 in BK. Staffed by a LT and a dispatcher.
  23. The federal tax rate is the same, local taxes do not fund it. But cars and food cost the same, so rent is less, but what do you live near? Charleston rent is pricey unless you live in the Ghetto or in a remote area. The 1/3 salary rate is really kind of tough to deal with.
  24. Highway 1 has maybe 4 or 5 cars MAX on a day tour, less at night. Do the math, they cover Manhattan and the Bronx.
  25. No cost of living is equal to 11 bucks an hour. 400 a week before taxes doesn't get you far unless you are 18 and living at home.
