  1. I agree with this but to add getting members off the rear step of apparatus and into closed cabs was a big advancement.
  2. I was not a fan of Kennedy ( or the Kennedy's for that matter). May he rest in peace.
  3. Good luck with the car.
  4. Many more Hap !!!
  5. May they all rest in peace and God bless our troops.
  6. May he rest in peace.
  7. NFD....very touching story. Sounds like your father was a stand up guy.
  8. If this happened when I was a chief... everyone out. Untill I know what exactly the situation is and what type of accident I would not want people in there. Let's not create more casulaties. Is this accident a collapse? Chemical spill? Result from a natural disaster? Is the building stable? Gas leaking? Other hazards? Untill we are sure people should not be in there. I would request resources such as tech rescue, hazmat, etc. Set up a command post. Make sure ems is staged and ready. If in a dual jurisdiction, unified command. Time to work together and not against.
  9. From a safety standpoint I say absolutely. Cut out a few parades, scale down on the bells and whistles when you buy apparatus or dont buy apparatus you really dont need. It can be done.
  10. Great post. To the point and effective. Glad to see the responses recieved.
  11. What about a fishing pole ???
  12. I had just recieved my drivers license and was driving for the first time when I heard on the radio about his accident with his plane. Thurman Munson still remains my favorite ball player. He was what a Yankee was all about.
  13. Like the old days when the Giants played there.
  14. Thoughts and prayers are with all the officers involved.
  15. May he rest in peace.
  16. Prayers for a speedy recovery.
  17. May he rest in peace.
  18. May he rest in peace.
  19. I will say she is very smart and I agree with alot of her positions but I feel that 2012 may be too soon.
  20. I know that records of public agencies ( such as fire districts) are open to the public under the Freedom of Information Law. What about fire companies that have tax id numbers and accept public donations. Are they subject to FOIL as well?
  21. May he rest in peace.
  22. Gone but never forgotten. God bless.
