Does anyone have any info on this?

KUTV News A Utah man put on his firefighter uniform each morning and went out to help the public, but that landed him behind bars. 2New's Kathryn May joins us live to explain why. When you have an emergency and call 911 for an EMT, you expect them to come from a fire station like this one. But one citizen was taking it upon himself to answer the calls without the authority. Firemen are called into a dangerous gas leak that threatens many nearby businesses. They offer expertise and a sense of security, but what if they weren't really firemen? The unified fire authority says that's what a Murray man was doing--pretending he was a fireman in real situations. “He put lights and sirens on his car. He’d listen to the dispatch then he’d get in his car and he’d go fast to a scene,” said Captain Gaylord Scott, Unified Fire Authority Spokesperson. Fire investigators say Patrick Fredericksen tried to order some more emergency equipment, saying he was a Salt Lake County fire fighter. The company contacted the the Unified Fire Authority (UFA) and learned he wasn't a fire fighter at all. Then investigators searched his home. They say they found a uniform, a badge, emergency lights, radios and all sorts of EMT gear. “Being a fireman's cool. I think he just wanted to be a fireman,” said Captain Scott. Authorities say that Fredericken's family and friends thought he was a firefighter. Now he's behind bars for impersonating an officer. Authorities say Patrick Frederickson was a volunteer fire fighter in Huntington, Utah in 2003, but he was let go and had his EMT license revoked in 2004. He has a criminal history and is now facing charges for impersonating an officer, possession of stolen property and possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia. This is one weird story,

how much would this cost per rig though

yeah you can say that again

why would they change the colors what is wrong with the ones that they have now

it was the killer blob I believe

that is just dumb, what was he thinking

my condolences to his family and friends

Does Ne one have any info on the Katonah parade today

condolences to his family and friends

I also like the current colors that they have got going they look very proffesional.

I dont know about the take out but the Empire Hunan in Yorktown has good food when you sit down Im sure the takeout is just as good

I have gone a few times by the Tappan Zee bridge by that yacht club that is a nice place

I saw this in the store but I was reluctant to buy it because I was unsure of the quality since it was so cheap.

those are some pretty good looking rigs

I Wish You Could See I wish you could see the sadness of a business man as his livelihood goes up in flames, or that family returning home, only to find their house and belongings damaged or lost for good. I wish you could know what it is like to search a burning bedroom for trapped children, flames rolling above your head, your palms and knees burning as you crawl, the floor sagging under your weight as the kitchen below you burns. I wish you could comprehend a wife's horror at 3a.m. as I check her husband of 40 years for a pulse and find none. I start CPR anyway, hoping to bring him back, knowing intuitively it is too late. But wanting his wife and family to know everything possible was done to try to save his life. I wish you knew the unique smell of burning insulation, the taste of soot-filled mucus, the feeling of intense heat through your turnout gear, the sound of flames crackling, the eeriness of being able to see absolutely nothing in dense smoke-sensations that I've become too familiar with. I wish you could understand how it feels to go to work in the morning after having spent most of the night, hot and soaking wet at a multiple alarm fire. I wish you could read my mind as I respond to a building fire "Is this a false alarm or a working fire? How is the building constructed? What hazards await me? Is anyone trapped?" Or to an EMS call, "What is wrong with the patient? Is it minor or life-threatening? Is the caller really in distress or is he waiting for us with a 2x4 or a gun?" I wish you could be in the emergency room as a doctor pronounces dead the beautiful five-year old girl that I have been trying to save during the past 25 minutes. Who will never go on her first date or say the words, "I love you Mommy" again. I wish you could know the frustration I feel in the cab of the engine or my personal vehicle, the driver with his foot pressing down hard on the pedal, my arm tugging again and again at the air horn chain, as you fail to yield the right-of-way at an intersection or in traffic. When you need us however, your first comment upon our arrival will be, "It took you forever to get here!" I wish you could know my thoughts as I help extricate a girl of teenage years from the remains of her automobile. "What if this was my sister, my girlfriend or a friend? What were her parents reaction going to be when they opened the door to find a police officer with hat in hand?" I wish you could know how it feels to walk in the back door and greet my parents and family, not having the heart to tell them that I nearly did not come back from the last call. I wish you could feel the hurt as people verbally, and sometimes physically, abuse us or belittle what I do, or as they express their attitudes of "It will never happen to me" I wish you could realize the physical, emotional and mental drain or missed meals, lost sleep and forgone social activities, in addition to all the tragedy my eyes have seen. I wish you could know the brotherhood and self-satisfaction of helping save a life or of preserving someone's property, or being able to be there in time of crisis, or creating order from total chaos. I wish you could understand what it feels like to have a little boy tugging at your arm and asking, "Is Mommy okay?" Not even being able to look in his eyes without tears from your own and not knowing what to say. Or to have to hold back a long time friend who watches his buddy having rescue breathing done on him as they take him away in the ambulance. You know all along he did not have his seat belt on. A sensation that I have become too familiar with. Unless you have lived with this kind of life, you will never truly understand or appreciate who I am, we are, or what our job really means to us...I wish you could though. -author unknown-

that is a cool looking rig

do you know which westchester parade?

this is a good idea it is ironic that firefighters actually made it and designed it for them selves since they will be the ones who will have to use it

I just went there they had pretty good food thanks

I was just wondering why EMTbravo does not host video clips of incidents or anything else fire related
