  1. Valhalla and Hawthorne respond to the reservation after 3:30 pm untill I believe it is 8:00am and also all weekend.
  2. You summed it up very good. Would you let an 8 year old drive a car?
  3. You pull up to a fire which is in a bedroom of a two story house. You stretch the attack line to the front door. Do you ask for water before you enter the house? Before you ascend the stairs? Wait untill you get to the top of the stairs? Wait untill you are about to enter the room? Firehouse.Com did a survey on this and I am curious to see what the thoughts are in this forum. I prefer to have water as I enter the house.
  4. Good argument for not putting "Incident Command" on a chiefs car. Seen it done ( thankfully didn't stay on too long). What if you go M/A?
  5. While I agree the tests are expensive I believe an once of prevention goes along way. And again, what is spent on parades, bands, etc...the money is there.
  6. Yes it is sad the show has moved. Lake George is a great place. I will say allthough it is a ride the Turning Stone is a beautiful casino.
  7. We had a 1973 CF 700. Lasted longer than the Pierce that replaced it.
  8. What a stand up guy. He will probably sue for excessive force.
  9. I don't remember any problems with WCMC other than occasional scarcasm from certain nurses who back in the day were overworked. Phelps was always good. Nurses there were second to none.
  10. I was able to see all the pics. Very nice shots and seemed like a very productive training session.
  11. Prayers go to him for a speedy recovery.
  12. May he rest in peace and may God comfort his family.
  13. If anything this is the place to share diasgreements. The brother was asking how we felt about his situation. And if what he says is true than I feel it is wrong to suspend an active person with his amount of time being he did eventually get the physical. He also stated his chief said it was ok then changed his mind.
  14. I agree it is excessive since you did get the physical and it was only 16 days.
  15. My thoughts and prayers are with the crew of MEMS as well as the man who died.
  16. I second that. I miss our 1973 Mack. Great rig.
  17. The boats came in handy during Hurricane Floyd. Parts of our town were buried deep in water. So to answer your question yes it does flood quite severly in certain spots.
