As most people are saying i agree that it depends on the type of alarm and whats happings at that time. and the operator should have an SCBA near by because if you have a cloud of nasty stuff going near the engine he/she might want to put it on. Most of our operators have on just pants while in operation unless something is up.

congrads mark

Hope he gets well soon, his family is in my prayers

Nash, NC, Franklin, FL, Genevieve, MO, Baxter, Az, Columbia, GA or Clackmas OR at least thats what google maps tells me

Nice truck, cant wait to see it in action

Sounds like a busy day so far, things are burning and people are dieing

From the pojonews.com site http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/article...NEWS01/81116008 Police ask anyone with information about the crash to contact them at 845-691-6102.

Just so you know there is a model train club in Kingston doing shows every weekend in Nov. its the Hudson valley model train club...or something like that. its right next to the YMCA

hope all are well and speedy recovery

Beekman: just so you know the hughsonville agreement has been going on even before Wappingers and New Hamburg lost there ladders

looks great hope they have the best of luck with it

God's speed brother.

**************, I don't think its so much of a rabbit tool doing less damage the a set of irons. I feel that with the rabbit tool you have more control over the door and how fast it swings with a set of irons it takes 2 people, and with Vol fire depts having less manpower and the "I'm not getting out of bed for that" factor you have to use whats you think will be best, with the rabbit tool yes it takes two people, one to use the tool and one to wack it, however what we have done before if once the rabbit tool is set in place, the person who was wacking the tool can now use a small rope to go around the knob or handle of the door and gain control from the door swinging wide open and either A) slam the door into you PT slam the door in a table of something and end up knocking what ever was on the table over and making a mess.

damn nasty crash but looks like a good job doen

There are times that the IC does ask for just an engine or a ladder and county does there thing, however look at Hughsonville, they have Rombout at automatic MA with there ladder for any thing that sounds like a possible structure fire and things of that nature (which I have to problem with) but others are wondering why Rombout gets called all the time when the Village of Wappingers and New Hamburg (at the time) both have a ladder and they boarder each other. I think that splitting the district would be more feasible.

Congrads Mike. Good job to all of thos that were involved.

nice shot I wonder if the lights work on it

The PT has the right to deny any treatment and/or transport. Like said before you can also make the PT injury worse by makeing them upset. However you should also contact medical control and advise them of what you have and your pt's wish's.

In my dept, no belt or gemtor no climb. It is only for your saftey, even on some of our rescues we have the vic but on a belt depending on the type of rescue.

That was great thanx for the good laugh

congrads Craig, could not happen for a better person.

there is a vol. group called R.E.A.C.T I forgot what it stands for. I know that about 5yrs ago there were just starting to become big in putnam/dutchess counties. They monitor both CB and H.A.M. radio for problems. they also help with traffic and radio comm. on large events/incidents

Get well soon DOC

Bill that is cool shot man
