Still with that, your on the 5th floor, do you pull a rope hanging out of the window and pull until the nozzle reaches the window and you place that on the ground?

I have been reading the material that Dutchess provided for their physical test. Just the way it is worded the first event, the stair climb and rope hoist, I am having trouble visualizing it and am not too sure what to expect with it. Has anyone taken this form of the test that could help me out? Then the ladder raise, they say "walk to the top rung" they mean on the ground walking to the end and raising it. Also do you have to use each rung or can you use the side rails? and the Weighted tire, what is that like, just a tire and you whack it till it hits the end? and Finally, Pass fail? or are you graded or timed what?/ Thanks

I also think that useing Medic Flycars, Like used almost everywhere in NJ, is the best way of getting ALS out. This way you usually don't tie up ALS on a BLS assignment because there is no one else to send.

All I can say is WOW http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/62579.htm April 17, 2006 -- Real-estate prices keep going up, but that doesn't bother Kyle MacDonald - who hopes to land a house for the price of a single paper clip. Before you call in the men in white coats, get this: The 26-year-old Canadian dreamer started his bizarre quest last July with one red paper clip, has been trading up ever since, and could soon achieve his incredible goal. His latest swap got him a year's free use of a one-bedroom bungalow in Phoenix, Ariz., and he's not stopping there. "I wanted to buy a house but realized I didn't have the money," MacDonald, who lives in Vancouver, told The Post. "Then I remembered how in school we'd play a game called 'Bigger and Better,' trading what we could for something more valuable. And when I looked down, I saw this red paper clip and thought, 'Hmm . . .' " MacDonald, a writer who's also worked as a pizza deliverer and tree cutter, went on the Web offering to trade the paper clip on www.oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com. "People were intrigued with the idea, so I decided to make it an adventure and go out there and meet interesting people - and also try to achieve my goal," he said. An amused Vancouver couple offered him a pen shaped like a fish for the paper clip, and he made the swap. Then he traveled to Seattle to meet an artist who gave him a doorknob for the pen. MacDonald handed over the doorknob to a journalist who gave him a Coleman stove in Amherst, Mass., and finally, he met a Marine to swap the stove for a 60-pound, 1,000-watt Honda generator in San Clemente, Calif. He brought the generator to Maspeth, Queens, where he swapped it for a keg of beer and a neon Budweiser sign, then headed for Quebec, where somebody gave him an old Snowmobile. That same week, he declared on Canadian TV that the one place he'd never go for a trade was the remote outpost of Yahk, British Columbia. Guess what. A magazine called SnoRiders offered him airfare there, with skiing and meals thrown in. He swapped that for a 1995 Ford truck. The vehicle then went to a record producer, who offered in return 80 hours of recording time at Toronto's Metalworks Studio. That sounded great to aspiring Arizona singer Jody Gnant, who offered MacDonald a one-year, rent-free stay in her bungalow in Phoenix. Still, is somebody really willing to give him a house? "Well, I started with a paper clip, so I think it's possible. And I'm not going to stop. It might take another week, it might take another decade, but it's going to happen," MacDonald vowed. "Things are heating up now. I think I'm going to have a new deal in another few days. It's exciting," he said.

I have a partner who is doing a presentation on documation. I havn't worked any of my New York projects in a while, I need to get my hands on an ACR or a copy of one. Anything other then the NYS Version 5 PCR. If it is a coded ACR a list of codes would be nice too. Thanks Sean PS Oh yeah, I asked a while back about ALS gear. I need some pictures of the drug box / airway setups that you use. Ill post what I am expected to use as an ALS transport capabilile unit, doesnt work very well to say the least. Thanks Any and All help would be wonderful. The ACR or PCR is more important at thing moment.

Its not how to document, It is the set up of the paper work that IO am more concerned with. I just want to be able to show different forms of paper work so there are no suprises. Please send that over

I am looking to propose a replacement for the current gear we use at a urban / rual transport capable ALS unit in NJ. Currently we are using some sort of tackle boxes, ive seen a few bags that would work wonders. I am looking for a little input as to how to configure them. How does your dept/comapny do it? Any pictures and such would do wonders. Thanks

Could you send those over?

Does anyone know when the next open competive test is? For westchester or anywhere near the HV area.
