  1. Another thing too is if you store your passwords in your web browsers (IE and FireFox). You will need to clear them out. Also make sure that you are also entering in from the same page each and every time. Say if you are logged out and normally enter in from EMTBRAVO.NET but I send you a link to check out one of the forums posts. When you click on that link being logged out, your browser and cashe might not "remember" you password here because it is not where you saved it.
  2. Hey do we use smoke signals or carrier pigiones today ????
  3. I read an article on it a little while ago, BFD is calling for a boycott because of the ongoing contact negotiation and other problems with they mayor. However, the parade is not sponsored by the City of Boston nor does the mayor march in it. The parade is sponsored by a local vet's organization. Here is the line to Boston.com article. http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/...boycott_parade/
  4. Joe, the link is broken.
  5. You are correct, "Paddy" is short for Padraig but all can be used as a nickname for Patrick.
  6. Good thing it was a five inch! He might not have felt it!
  7. I'm definitely for an In Memorium section or sport on EmtBravo.com. A great way for us to remember the LODD we must report and so we never forget those who gave the supreme sacrifice.
  8. Truck 4 thanks again bro!

  11. Yah the last I knew Nubbie was still in Waldon, not in Danbury.
  12. Nick, will the others suffer the same fate?
  13. In CT, the CSP trooper cars have all their light bars set for the following - off, front, rear, front and rear. They can also add dash lights, grill lights and rear deck lights, all set up on separate switches. All the new LED bars have the colored LED (red, blue and yellow(only in the rear) and have clear lenses. One problem that cuts down the intensity is the flash pattern and also considering using colored lenses. The new Whelen light bars are way to bright and with the way the flash patterns are with he blue and red on, from a distance it looks purple to the human eye. They need to cut down on the brightness and also the speed of the flash patterns. They do blind you at night.
  14. Where's the "Q"???
  15. Someone who agrees me me!!!

  17. I don't think they can be if they if they sat for that long. Best bet is just to purchase new ones so you don't have to go through the aggravation.
  18. I'm not going to defend this because of my own opinion on fighting car fires - FULL PPE and SCBA and until the fire is out then you can drop your packs. What I will say is this. There are departments all over the USA that still work at car fires like this and nothing is being done, why because their SOP / SOG states they can operate this way. There is nothing that OSHA states you have to wear SCBA at car fires nor is there an NFPA recomendation that I know of for car fires. (If there is please correct me and point me to the right direction on the standards.) Should there be if their isn't and should it be adopted? Hell ya! We can sit here, b & m about how "they" operate, make all the comments that we want but you really know what if falls down to? One - people in those departments make an effort to change or Two - someone gets hurt and OSHA or NFPA or some regulator health commission steps in and fines them big time. All I can say is if you do mutual aid to a town that operates like this, follow your SOP / SOG and protect yourself. As for the "jeans and flip flops" common that is a simple use your head. Now pictures are up, OSHA and the state "big boys" can see this. Heck look what is happening in a little town in Litchfield County is facing after their burn drill because of pictures posted on the net. Folks remember, what is posted anywhere can be seen by those you want tpo see it and those who you don't want to see it. That's the end of my rant
  19. When they shoot if off, can we get Artie Lang to yell "FIRE"!!!!!! - ?
  20. Joe, is NFD gonna use this mostly up on the highway or what duties are the Tanker going to be assigned to? Just curious. Hope NFD has good luck with the truck and NCFD did!
  21. Jack, the statewide system for NY is a MA/COM trunked or "Skynet" system if memory serves me correctl;y. MA/COM has had a lot of problems with these systems all over the US.
