Are both 6" main intakes gated at the pump?? If so that is not a bad idea!

Oh man.............

Not bad on the capture! Nice job!

The article did state about joining the Hillcrest Fire Dept., why not go the route of establishing a new fire station in the area and become part of the HFD / Moleston Fire District? It would make more sense to do that granted training for the potential members would take some time.

I forgot O'Roukes and Ownes. I was devastated when O'Rourke's caught fire a few years back. Many a night stumbling from Eli Cannon's over the street LOL.

I forgot to add in technically to my statment, sorry about that. One of those places wouldn't have to be the infamous STORK'S now would it???? LOL

By Far that is TED'S in Meriden!!

Actually nfd2004, The Spot at Pepe's opened up back in the late 80's and is located to the left of the original pizzaria towards the back of the lot and this would constitute as the second Pepe's Pizzaria to handle the over flow and also to handle large parties as well. http://www.pepespizzeria.com/directions.php#newhaven Besides, at the end of the night when you are in New Haven, you have to stroll over to Libby's. The other places don't have that next to it!!!

Modern has the Best chicken pizza. Bar by far is the best Mashed and Bacon. Eli's............Just like it's parent bar across the street, only the beer is good in my opinion. Roseland hasn't had a good pizza there in a while, at least on the takeout side. You have to eat there. Oh and why should someone from NY got to New Haven to eat pizza......simple because it was born here just like the hamburger!!!! And for those who didn't know, Frank Pepe was allergic to both tomatoes and cheese so he couldn't eat it. That is why he invented the white clam pizza, still the best anywhere by far.

Don't get me started!!!!! LOL

If you want the real thing, head to Pepe's on Wooster Street in New Haven. Its the only place!!!

This sounds interesting and cool at the same time! http://main.uab.edu/Sites/MediaRelations/articles/65537/

OKAY??!?!?!?!?!?!? Grab extinguishers from a school, who is going to pay for the recharging of them??? Not chasing fires??? Umm I guess that statement proved them wrong.

I wonder is Oscar Myer can mustard up the cost for repairs?

Not the entire truck, just the chassis aka the old "Condor" just like Figgie did with the old CTC back in the 80's. Rememebr old FDNY Rescue 2?

From today New Haven Register http://nhregister.com/articles/2009/07/14/...eparamedics.txt

Your right, just realized what I wrote. Was thinking of OEMS but Sponsor Hospital came out when I was typing. Thanks for the correction!

All positions for the City of New Haven has that in their applications.

No, they are not a recognized paramedic responding unit. They are still classified as a BLS "heavy rescue". The last I knew there were members of the department that are on the Squads that are medics but there is no ALS gear on the rig itself. However wit the increase of medics in the department this could become a reality as well. Sage if you listened to C-MED the Squads sign on as either 1-Alpha-18 or 3-Alpha-18 (Squad 1 for example, Squad 2 is "19"). The "1" designation is BLS first responder and the "3" is classified as a rescue unit. If they were a certified medic unit then the first part of the C-MED designations would be "5" which they are not permitted at this time to operate as through the New Haven Sponsor Hospital.

Its really weird to see a Century model cab on a 900 / 1000 Series body. If you look at the pump panel that is definitely the 900 / 1000 Series layout and the cab is a Century Series (the bubble over the front wheel wells is the key. 900 / 1000 were straight in line with the front doors of the cab to the back of the canopy). The Century series didn't go into mass production until 1975 I want to say.

AMR is contracted to transport for New Haven FD but Emergency Units 1 and 2 have transport capabilities (both are full ambulances staffed with a medic and EMT). 90% of the time AMR will transport the patient to the hospital and the NHFD medic may or may not ride in on the AMR rig on an assist, depending on the type of call and also if the AMR rig has a medic. NHFD will also transport a patient especially if it is one of thier own, a family member, police officer, first on scene depending on the call (ie as Code, pediatric trauma, ect. ect.ect.). Now if an AMR rig is not available for transport, C-MED will notify the Emergency Unit and also New Haven ERS who will then contact the on duty Deputy Chief. Depending on the call and also any other incidents occuring, the Emergency Unit will decide if they want to transport or wait for a mutual aid ambulance to transport the patient. The majority of the time the Emergency Unit will transport the paitent unless its is a "very very very BLS" call or if there is a major incident occuring that the unit has to be freed up after the medical call has cleared. The is one emergency unit assigned to each of New Haven's battalions (east & west) and are assigned on structure fires, extrications and HazMats. When at those incidents they are working medics for the incident. There have been rumors circulating fo years now that NHFD wants to re-activate two more emergency units staffed with medics and they were also considering having paramedic engine companies.

The New Haven Fire Department was one of the first fire departments in CT to run first responders and then Paramedics, dating back to the 60's with what they called "First Aiders". A little back ground: Prior to the current set up of engine first responders and the two "Emergency" units, the city had three first responder EMT units and one paramedic unit. Engine companies were basically backup first responders and didn't cross district lines. When the department decided to re-organize the EMS sector of the department, they disbanded BLS emergency units and now they run medics on two emergency units and the engines run first responders crossing district lines. There was an article in the New Haven Register that the department was looking to expand and hire more medics almost a year ago due to thier shortage. This was approved by the city when the funding became avaiable and the department has a great bunch of medics working for them. Lad45der you would be suprised how many would take the test for New Haven and they can because they are looking for a specific group of people they need. And besides, tehre are a diverse group of paramedics that work for the different ambulance services that would be great in this job.
