When they bought TL15, it was from a transitioning manufacturer. Now that Spartan is merging with Smeal, I wonder if that will have any effect on the quality in the meantime?

This firefighter was seriously injured with 3rd degree burns after a stairway collapse. WHY? Here's some more photos and video.

Are they buying a bunch of spare cylinders? Because if they're not, what happens when they deplete their stash? Pick up and go home, leaving the departments with 4.5 packs? Or shuttling bottles between the compressor and scene? Which probably isn't that far. But I guess change needs to happen somewhere at sometime, just hope they are equipped for it.

Tower ladder failure or operator error? Any other angles of this photo?

My prayers for you and your family Sal. Does anyone know the official arrangements yet?

Never heard of this practice before.

You're not screwing the city, in the end you're screwing the taxpayers.

Does anyone know what kind of training was given to each individual firefighter prior to going to service by MSA?

Does anyone have information for FD's wanting to attend the services?

Looks like Rye has picked up 2 of the firefighters who were laid off. http://www.local2029.com/news-and-events/2016/8/29/new-hires
