Now THAT is VERY interesting!

Thanks all for the info- keep if coming!

Missed a "tree deckah" by 8 minutes k....just my luck! Another good job by the PFD! and you too Bill! I ALMOST turned around, but I was already in Millbrook and had to be back early this morn...

10-4K

Eerily reminiscent of Arlington's job at the Moutain Brook Apartments!

Really? Didnt know that... Is it possible to record to DVR/DVD? Are they more durable? Chris - what camera are you guys running?

Haha! Good point! I bet he can! I was actually referring to hand held TIC's used in interior firefighting....but still worth hearing his input!

????? No....meaning one of my archery company sponsors...www.trophyridge.com I shall be partaking in several Silver Bullets at Copperfields...

As one of my sponsors stated to me - "I didn't vote for him, but if he can turn this mess we are in around, I will be behind him 100 percent. " All we can do now is give him a fair shake.

LOL

I didnt want to hijack the 34-71 Thread so I started this. In regards to REHAB specific units - I am curious as to what is in, or avaialble to Dutchess County FD's? I know DC911 has the Mobile Dispatch/Command truck, which is very nice - but that isnt what I am talking about... I mean more of a rehab/cooling/warming unit....tents/chairs/etc. Are there units with a bathroom? (Don't laugh....I had to steal a Chief's Car yesterday for an emergency run back to Millbrook Firehouse......you may have heard it on FG 7/8 )

Great info....something for us to keep in mind for sure.

I actually took the whole night off...we have a Cub Scout meeting that night...I'll be in touch with you Mark

Oh there is no doubt that the bathroom is OFF limits!

I am working 4 x 12 - but just put in a sheet to leave at 2030..putting me there at start time.... I hope to see a good crowd!

Will we be sending folks Chief?

Translation; "Always a learning experience.."

LOL...I carry baby wipes.... As a hunter...and having "bad bowels'...I KNOW the importance of not committing yourself without protection! There was word that there was an apparatus there equipped with the "Bumper Dumper" and privacy tent...but i didnt trust them.....not the one with the camera at least!

Strong work Bill...

The City of Poughkeepsie's Command truck has one..and I would have NO problem calling it out by us for that purpose! I agree with you ALS - especially from an EMS standpoint - just how important the CARE itself is to manpower preservation. Rehab, or as it is lovingly known - EMS Prison....can be a pain in the a**, but it is vital to the scene. What I was looking for is to see if any local departments had a vehicle - a converted bus, or walk in command truck that could facilitate the thawing of member's at such a large scale incident. Millbrook had a fantastic set up at their fire recently, with plenty of food, bevergaes, and EMS personel staged to check members. The only thing missing was the crapper!

Engine AND Truck work...does that make him a "Quint"?

Strong work.

Ohhhh...Sorry to hear that!

Sorry guy...I have to jump in here...you are singling out an entire, professional department over some pictures, and turning it into a vollie/career pissing match...again... I don't give a crap about the waist strap debate...if that is all we are talking about - good - it must be a slow week...speaking of which - did you see that jackass on the front page of the Pojo today? Yep...he didnt have his waist strap done....shame, shame.... What I DO care about is your statement about "that they complain about the way a volunteer does something since it seems that carer FF's can do no wrong".... To me - that is a direct hit to the PFD, and I can say - that I have not heard, not seen an ill statement made reference volunteers from anyone on the PFD since the days of the open rear seats on 2 and 2! In fact, they have become pretty damn vollie freindly in the past 15 years! Look at the amount of pictures from City jobs....look at all of the PFD guys doing training for volunteer departments...Hell - the Union President has trained HUNDREDS of EMT's for the volunteer rescue squads! EVERY PFD member has always treated me with RESPECT and COURTESY...even though I am a volunteer... Perhaps you should reword your post to reflect the same...

But think about it.....you could drink the run off! LOL!
