  13. Best of luck !
  14. On Page 21 of this study it makes reference to apparatus paint color as "Lime Yellow". In 1977 this was thought to be the best way to see a Fire vehicle in both daytime and night conditions. However today, when chevrons are applied to the corners of the apparatus it does not need to be lime yellow. In fact it works against you if it is not RED because peoples brains will not process the color as a fire truck ! I quess you can see my feeling about this. .
  15. Yes still on , Pete's Saloon Elmsford NY.
  16. correction except during fire attack with full PPE SCBA ie. hose line advancement. EMS calls "yes" ie. flu-like symptoms ect. Found a resident heating his room with a BBQ prior toa friend calling for EMS. This was due to no heat in the apartment.Pt was unresponsive . Even on fire inspections of commercial businesses where levels of CO were found from a defective Hot Water heater in a popular store. Repairs were made by the store chain and the vent pipe was checked at a later date. Good tool to have.
  17. Just interested in some information on the current Dutchess County NY FireGround radio system. I noticed that radio towers are listed with several frequencies. Are they repeater towers ? or are the portable radio just for on-scene distance. Can Dutchess 911 monitor attack crews radio transmissions ? Fireground - Illinois Tower (Lloyd) FM Fire-Tac 453.45000 KED348 RM 82.5 PL 7/8 Fireground - Clove Tower (Unionvale) FM Fire-Tac 453.62500 KED348 RM 82.5 PL 9/10 Fireground - Hosner Tower (East Fishkill) FM Fire-Tac 453.95000 KED348 RM 114.8 PL 11/12 Fireground - Milan/Pawling Tower FM Fire-Tac 453.85000 KED348 RM 114.8 PL 13/14 Fireground - Silver Tower (Millerton) FM Fire-Tac 460.45000 WPQD608 RM 114.8 PL 15/16 Fire Operations / Helicopter Landing Zone FM Fire-Tac 453.91250 KED348 M 136.5 PL 17 Fire Police Thanks in advance for replies and discussion.
  18. Dräger X-am 5000 the ideal companion for personal protection. Used by FD's here in the county attached to portable radio straps...on all calls. As far as calling it CO2 instead of CO that could be a training issue. PD's quite often dispatch calls as CO2 activations. Glad the OVAC crew is recovering. This could happen to anyone of us ! http://www.draeger.com/US/en_US/
