RIP Quigs Rich and I just started working together Thursday over nights at Alamo. Great Partner and friend. He will be definately be missed. And you are totally right 32 there wasn't much time where he didn't have that phone and cigar in hand

Thoughts and prayers go to his family and hopes for a speedy recovery.

Dan you are %100 correct and the picture is much clearer in it's original format.

How about the Tivoli MCI MVA on 06-22-08?? Incident Alert

Thanks for the words of hope... My shift at the PD started out with Dispatch going BLACK and sitting in the dark til the generator kicked on and then ran for two hours. A good portion of the jurisdiction is still out of power Merry Christmas to all and Hope you Have a Safe and Happy New Year

It's offically a Winter Storm Warning!! I'll be working through the whole thing. Good Luck to all those working and Stay Safe

Well look at it this way at least they now know it works :lol:

Chief you missed the point of my post. I totally agree with you in the use of our PPE. My post was meant to say that this topic was created by a fellow firefighter, about the fact that he was involved in the incident. The point of the thread was lost, it wasn't meant to say whether or not units on scene were wearing their vests or not.

23 CFR Part 634 states that the vest must be worn by the worker, which is defined in the regulation, when they are in the right of way. Since there was no traffic there was no right of way. Secondly, a brother was involved in the accident, why in the world are we worried about if somebody on the scene had a vest on?? 50 glad to hear you are ok and hope all involved are okay as well

Thanks to all. Same goes from me. Just finished up my first semester of Medic School and boy am I in need of a break

Firefighter Close Calls E-mail Fort Wayne News 15 Video While we don't know the whole story this doesn't put us in a good light especially with the comentary from the cameraman.

Jet nice shots. Looks like this was a bad hit. Where abouts on 9D is it?

Amen to that 11p - 7a tonight and tomorrow. HOLIDAY PAY!! Lol Have a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and May the best Football Team win!!

Joe, Here's your clips. I agree the audio is a definate necessity to fully show the horror of that day. Dutchess Communty College Fire Science Good Luck with the presentation

Anybody watching the 2 hr teaser movie?? What do you guys think so far?

Ask Uncle Craig.... They do mind :lol:

Congratulations

Can anyone find a price range?? Anyone local selling?

Seatbelts Seatbelts Seatbelts! Hope all involved have a speedy recovery.

Exactly what I was trying to get at

While some services may have problems with their companies and/or policies I do not think it's right that any one agency is bashed here on this forum, and unfortunately that's where I see this topic going.

I want my partner to be at least the same if not in better physical shape than I am. I'm sorry, I don't care if you are my best friend, if you are not physically or even mentally cut out for the job than it's not for you. Not every job is meant for everyone. My safety isn't going to be jepordized for your bad health. My opinion may be on the harsh side, but my safety and the safety of the others operating on scene is the most important.
