Just wanted to thank the members of Arlington FD for their response last night to an MVA involving my wife and children, as routine as it may have been, it is appreciated.

My family is Ok, sore, but Ok - thanks.. You shoulda been there!

Good, accurate point! I agree 100000000000 percent!

Alot of fire..............wow.

Thoughts and prayers for inured Fireman and the others invloved.

These types of thing REALLY, REALLY get under my skin - as it only takes one or two JERKS to ruin access to emergency scenes for legit photographers.

Good job by all involved.............................

I'm guessing this guy won!?

He is lucky a car wasnt going up the hill.....jackass drivers going too fast.

What was the run own of ladder companies? EFFD, PECO, Rombout..... Anyone else? I thought I saw foam in one pic - would it have been feasable to use a rig from Stewart or IBM EF for high volume foam applications? NOT Monday Morning QB'ing - just thinking over scenarios in my head.... Thanks

Dayummm

I spy a very experienced Jake on the roof....he lurks often on the TSP... How long into the fire did it take to open the garage doors?

I can NOT beleive there is not more of an uproar over this ! The first due department NOT THERE because of lack of drivers!? GIVE ME A BREAK! I agree Bill - the world of emergency services is being run by with vests who are afraid to drive a firetruck... Where will it end?

Thats Dave's excuse of a leather lid..............LOL.

Ahhhhhh................NOW I know where the house is - the light gave it away!

I am always, ALWAYS impressed with the professionalism of the departments in the Wappingers area. Job well done.

Nice. I really like the Battalion Dispatch concept.

Dept's dispatched or freelancers?

I heard that - it is INGENIUS!

All things considered - looks like a good save no?

Of course they stopped.

Ugh....please forgive me...I started a blue light thread..... Ok....so....I am still rocking the Firebeam rotator that I had in my teens, but have the urge to upgrade to an nice blue LED slim light that I can put between the rear view mirror and the roof. I would prefer a longer version. I would like to hear suggestions, see pictures of what you bufffs reccomend

Just wonder how many agencies include an ALS standby unit on their second or greater alarm assignments? I am thinking more for the MOS than victims. Also - do FASTeams consider bringing an AED to the scene (not in, obviously) for downed FF's?

Thanks! And excellent points, especially brush fires! I get my fat a** kicked more at those damn brush fires than any other incident!

The deceased is a retired NYPD MOS and father of 3. RIP
