Now where do mobile radios fit in? Is departmental (fire, not the police chief) authorization adequate? What about portable scanners?

Sometimes we can forget just how fast things can turn to crap...in all of our fields.. Stay on your toes and expect the unexpected...the holidays are coming and we need to go home to what matters.. Just stay safe please, my Class A is just fine hanging in the closet. (fyi - I didnt add the "Everyone Goes Home" tag line to the topic, I dont know who did...I don't buy into that concept...I understand that is not realistic and don't want to sensationaize the phrase. Soemtimes we can not control that, but we can take care of us and our own. )

Understood. Anyone who has been in a LODD scenario or department that has had one knows it is just not true. And today, I am thankful to have worked with a great man who was taken too soon this past year, RIP #22...we miss your sarcastic smile!

Like I said - this is all 15 years too late! LOL...jealousy is a bear.

Keep in mind that there is a difference between "fire department honors" and a LODD Service. There is NOTHING that compares to a LODD funeral and wake...NOTHING.

A drop per can works with Skoal as well! Love me some Skoal!

If you read the somments, it links to a youtube vid that shows it takes a substantial amount of force to dislodge ot from the scabbard. If anyone has a link to where to purchase such a knife, please hook me up, I would like to do this to my light.

I bet his boy is quite the young man these days.

Nice pictures!

DING SING DING! Pays to read the fineprint!~

These pictures piss me off.

Same here, but work, not school.. HOWEVER, I see they are mentioning things in rearends..so i am kinda glad it aint working!

Looks like good news! Never underestimate the power of prayer and today's moden medical providers! http://www.lohud.com/article/20111121/NEWS02/111210343/Injured-Pelham-Manor-cop-showing-signs-improvement?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|Frontpage|p

In that case I am glad I am not his Chief! And I feel sorry for the reoccurring media storm this guy has started for the department.

I would assume this member chose to do this on his own accord and not during a department authorized or sanctioned training session. That knucklehead should be DAMN glad that I am not his Chief.

And they can keep it!

Ohhhh...the travesty!

An AFA is alerting us to a potential FIRE, and should be treated as such. A MINIMUM of 2 engines and a truck should be sent, so I don't think an engine/truck/rescue response is overkill. Keep the Rescue back, send another engine instead.

What is used for a heat source and if so needed, is the enclosure monitored for Co?

FAC911 was, and probably still is, the undisputed KING OF TRAUMAS!

LOL...I remember a skinny, buffed out, pimply faced kid clmbing into Frank and My's Tac bus one day, "Don't touch anything and don't eff anything up!" We did that hot trauma job at the school off of Executive...poor kid slung thier backpack over their shoulder and the momentum took them over the send floor railing...High Fall..Tac 2 saved the day, and untold lives. LOL I would go back to those days in a heartbeat.

Makes perfect sense...

Rest In Peace My Friend...your boy is a spitting image of you! God Bless Bobby. Photo credit to Frank Becerra/lohud.com Nicely done Sir.

Regardless of the Move Over law, this brother needs prayers, not speculation. Hang in there officer..and thank you for your service to our Country!

I like. The red "ghost" stripe is very nice. Good luck with it.
