Hey ALS with that much water, I hope we don;t water down the scotch too much!!! Thanks for putting in the target flow I forgot to add that!

Heck when units come into our town its easy. When when we had a major general alarm fire back in 2001 the dispatch just went on like this; Command you are getting the following: Derby Engines 11, 13, 14, Truck 15, Rescue 18 and 4Kilo10 (ambulance) Seymour Engines 13, 15, Truck 14 and 4Tango7 Shelton Engine 4 and Tower 7 New Haven Engine 8 and Truck 1 Stratford Truck 1 Bridgeport Engine 6, Ladder 6, Engine-Quint 16 and their command unit Ect. Ect. ect. Since we do not have a numbering system in New Haven and Fairfield County we just add the town name before the unit designation and it works out decently.

Guys, though I am for all first amendment rights, this guy I don't support. Why, because he made a hostile threat with the use of words in a song and the city has a zero tolerance for a hostile work environment. How can you be someone who is held in high regard by the public and take an oath to help the people of the city and do something like this??? This is more than bad taste. All cities and their working departments have a zero tolerance policies when it comes to threats toward others, racial implications and hatred, sexual harassment and so on. When you become an employee you attend classes for sensitivity and also as part of your contract, sign an agreement with the municipality that if you have taken place in such prejudice acts towards other employees privately and publicly and it is proved, then you are on ground for immediate termination and their is no way the ACLU can back a person on it, since they were the ones who designed the clauses. How would all the the firefighters and EMT's he would feel if he said he wanted to "bust a cap in their heads" in his song??? I think this thread would be totally different than the spin that is going on here. Yes it is a stupid decision on his part and he should have though about what he was writing and rapping about. He deserved to loose his job.

Ice, a high ball glass and some fruit.... Seriously though. Initial attack should be water from an initial outside attack with a large diameter attack line (2 or 2 1/2 inch line). Now if the entire stock of liquor has been compromise, the contents would have mostly burned off by the time first water was placed on the fire. Remember this, any alcohol will not easily ignite if it is less than 150 Proof (75% alcohol per volume) but the flip side it that all alcohol vapors WILL ignited under IDHL conditions. If the liquor store is fully involved then there is no reason to use any foam. if the fire consumed much of the building, a normal clean water attack should suffice. But if a foam operation is necessary then CLASS B foam should be used since you area dealing with vapors from the product and presenting the possibility of vapors igniting. Class A is structural foam and since you area dealing with a vapor emitting product, class A foam will not suppress vapors as well as class B / AFFF

Upon arrival, with conditions like this, no. Once an interior inspection of conditions is conducted and is deemed the roof line is safe, then yes, but not for an initial since you can't see how the trusses are effected or if there is heavy fire in the attic or c*** loft, assume there is.

Just to add on to your quote, in Suffolk the first number is the town number they area in, the second number is the fire department / district located in that town and the third number is the actual truck number. So the town of Babylon is number 3, Bayshore FD is number 1 and PENATAQUIT HOSE's engine is 3, so that trucks number is 3-1-3.

In New Haven South Central its a priority 1 (hot) or priority 2 (cold) response to the hospital depending on the patient's condition to a hospital. State law mandates that all visual and audio warning devices must be on simultaneously or not used at all.

I know someone who moved from Gay Street in East Haven, CT to Ferry Street, New Haven. Sounds funny when you say it. Plus I got a story about a woman and a potato in the ER that is too graphic to post. If you want to hear it pm me with your email address.

He's already been relived of his duties last week by the fire department.

Nope your wrong, reserves have the duct tape to hold the spares together. Or is it the spares lend their duct tape to the reserves for their numbers, no wait its ................................................. Oh forget it!

I can tell you that the roto-ray is from Bladensburg FD in PG County, the nines' etched on the red lense give it away.

Well At least they were not playing Slayer in the background.

I'm in perfect shape!! Round is a prefect shape right??????? Just joking!

Nope, CT has green for EMS and that was set up years ago. It used to be CSP was all blue, local pd's could be blue or red, fire department apparatus red and white and could use blue, volunteer fd responders used blue forward facing and ems green. All police agencies in CT are now a combination of red and blue with yellow flashers towards the rear only and fire departments mostly follow NFPA's recommendations for colors. Fore volunteers the state wanted to distinguish fire and ems responders so fire kept blue and emt's green. The exception is that if a person is a firefighter and EMT and is licensed with both a blue and green light permit, as long as the department of two separate agencies (depending) will allow the use of a two color combination light but over all you should be only using one color at a time. The use of a command post green light is relatively new (late 1990's) and stationary only and is not activated until the command post is set up. CT will not change this and will keep the separate color lights.

Ok where's the link? THanks!!

Idiots

Mac8146 thanks for the correct info.

Well after a 2 1/2 year stint at CSP, I'm back working at C-MED New Haven (CT). You can all hear my voice again on MED 10, Derby, Ansonia (for those Long Islanders on 46.200), Seymour, Shelton EMS and Bethany again in the next few weeks on evenings. God Help you All!!!!!! LOL

I thought it was a botch strip job on the highway!

Ok guys, Split-tilt cabs have been out since the later 80's, hence Marauders and Commanders from Seagrave have this option and Pierce Lances area also split tilts. A split tilt for those who don't understand means the front half of the truck where the driver and officer sit tilts froward only to expose the engine and the back passenger compartment is fixed to the cab. Full-tilt is where the whole cab obviously tilts up to expose the engine. FDNY has fixed cabs on the majority of their Seagrave, I think the exception are the towers with the single jacks on the front bumper, FDNY guys correct me if I'm wrong.

I think it served as either Engine 5 of 6. I remember seeing it in a book marked as one of these engines. Any SFRD guys remember? Its an American LaFrance body / White chassis. I think it had a 1250 pump / 500 water.
