Saw this one floating around...unknown source

Is anyone else in Westchester using 5.5? What are the benefits other then size? How will this work when requesting a cascade unit? I assume the compressor would be able to handle the 6000PSI and they wouldn't be able to share bottles with neighboring jurisdictions? http://www.hartsdalefire.org/apps/public/news/newsView.cfm?News_ID=204

Westchester County Hazmat didn't have a meter? Or as mentioned, was it there extended response time so they were skipped? Maybe its time for the Hazmat team to have paid members.

You'd think with all the development in White Plains, that they would have enough cash to increase FD staffing. What is the staffing on a Ladder truck in White Plains? Wouldn't it make more sense to take the Rescue out of service and cross staff it if needed? But I could see that being exploited by the city to cut staffing on the Rescue.

That sucks. Obviously looks like something jacked up the pressure somehow.

So, what is the penalty? Do they remove the Chiefs? What happens if there is no one qualified to replace them? Or do they issue an order for them to get more training? And what would happen in the meantime?

Can NYS PESH cite a department for lack of leadership training and experience of Chief officers?
