  1. Thanks Chief...I'll keep you in mind for sure....unfortunatly, VERY unfortuanatly - the departments in my area are so hurting for manpower, establishing a FASTeam that could committ enough qualified members on a daily basis would be a difficult task at best. I would LOVE to see that day though...it is something to strive for. I don't mean just 2 guys to satisfy 2 in/2 out...I mean a well trained, well equipped team. However, myself, I would have NO problem pulling a team from across the county if I really neede done...and was in the position of an IC. Do any northern Putnam departments have FASTeams? Soemthing to keep in mind... I have one question...well always have questions, but...one in particular - the stokes basket...obviously a great tool for carrying the gear up - but if and when the team is deployed - what do you do with it? Bring it in? Stage it outside the door?
  2. Glad you admitted it...I didnt want to have to post a pic of your truck's plates!

  12. In Poughkeepsie, it is one of several methods of calling back off duty members for a greater alarm of fire. Fist is the transmittal of a second alarm, with off duty members having pagers. It is a GREAT system though.
