LOL....I was going to start the same topic, but title it, "HAS PPV RUINED THE ART OF VENTILATION?" Yes...PPV can be VERY effective..and it is too easy to set up and implement....it is a task easily accomnplished by the most junior member...but unfortuneatly, it is a tactic that needs to be well thought out, and you absolutely HAVE TO KNOW when to start that damn fan up!

LOL....a true salty dawg...

i'D BE WILLING TO BET IT IS A DIRECT RESULT OF............a fire.

BIIIG difference fella.....BIG difference!

Sadly...they probably would... I, personally would not support that decision....

A classy bunch too....this is a page from their official web site..... http://www.bogotafire.org/default.htm (LOOK FOR the "just when you think you've seen it all" page

Thanks....I just might tommorow....the ride isnt bad - under 2 hours from our house...I shoot an archery tournament there every winter in one of the expo halls....it's pretty badass...

Is this something kids would enjoy?

Yeah...our favorite dogwood tree is now half the tree it used to be...luckily my Suburban was in the back yard as I just brought our camper home..the tree fell into my parking spot!

Any word on the AC from Plattekill who was injured?

BRAVO!

Excellent post Chris!~ 100 percent agree...(especially the first couple lines..LOL) I would MUCH rather see PO's be brought to the level of EMT or similar before they tackled fires.....

We loved it last year!

Yay! No swamp! Woot! LOL

Very sad

Strong Work

Then there needs to be...Dutchess does NOT PLAY..you can say "crew assembling" all day long and when the timer hits..the tones drop......

Shawn - as 3rd diaptches become more common, has there been any talk to update the replacement from 3rd to 2nd?

What is the purpose of the newer Stiloski Rescue?

Oh absolutely...which is why it needs to be set up beforehand......forward thinking can save timne in a crunch...

Good work....bump to keep it fresh...

A - FREAKIN - men!~ And to add to the original topic - I don't think it should fall on the shoulders of the IC at the scene - it should be a pre-planned, pre-designated time frame, the the dispacthers should automatically implement. I also feel on working fire, or serious emergencies - when a department's non-responding apparatus goes second dispatch, an equal mutual aid peice should be dispatched simoultaneously...

Top Hat Wig Wags....excellent idea! And that bumper is MILD compared to some we have seen here!

I wish Poughkeepsie could do the same..... ...it's a tough nut to swallow..but it has to start somewhere...
