  1. Every Interior Firefighter should complete FAST training. Even if you are not on the team at least learn and practice the skills. When you go to the FTC for a burn how many departments practice the rescue of a Firefighter down? As mentioned what happens when you hear that MAY-DAY! and the FAST from the other town is not even out the door yet? All departments should cross train. It can only make our skills better and give us a chance to work together. GREAT TOPIC REMEMBER 585!
  2. As Bnechis pointed out a lot of lessons to be learned from that day. Let no man's ghost return to say his training let him down.
  3. Until last year the Civil Defense logo was on the patch of the City of Peekskill Auxiliary Police. They now have a new patch/design.
  4. NBC Nightly News | June 26, 2013 Larger crews more effective battling high rise fires At a time when municipalities are struggling with shrinking budgets and cutbacks, new research shows the need for an increase if firefighter staffing especially when it comes to fighting hi-rise fires. NBC's Tom Costello reports. http://www.nbcnews.com/video/nightly-news/52306074/#52306074
  5. Mount Vernon FD is a good bunch of guys who get the job done (with minimal staffing) I have a lot of respect for FDMV. It's a shame it takes NEWS12 showing up to get the CITY to do something about the horrible conditions. This didn't happen last week. It's been years. C'mon City Hall stop the BS with the Fire Department. They deserve better.
  6. What is NYS up to now Tier 6?
  7. As most of you know by now EMTBravo is planning a Muster. It will be held in the Fall of 2014. The location (local) and date of the event will be announced in a few weeks. We are going to need help. I will be establishing a Muster Committee. If you are interested please e-mail me direct. Rob@emtbravo.com Thanks
  8. Thank you! My goal is simple. Make EMTBravo better and a place where all of us involved in Emergency Services enjoy visiting. EMTBravo has some very loyal members and it's time to tap into that for some suggestions in making improvements. We are nothing without YOU the members. All I ask for is support. Feel free to e-mail me with any suggestions for improvements, compliments or complaints. I will try to address each and every one. Rob
  9. I'm considering planning a Bus Trip to Atlantic City in September or October. I did one a few years ago for my FD company and we had a lot of fun. Any interest?
  10. I will be speaking to some casinos next week to see who can offer us the best deal.
  11. Anyone familiar with this guy? Ex-South Salem FD member? A lot of stuff on the internet about him. None of it good. He has really pissed off the F.D.N.Y. and rightfully so. http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2012/09/controversy_swe.php http://www.villagevoice.com/2011-08-31/news/9-11-the-winners-profiting-from-september-eleventh/ http://www.gearupfoundation.org/ http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2774071/posts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXUx8Uaw0zs http://www.vincentforras.com/
