Terrorist new weapon? calling in large scale false alarms to review response procedures. Perhaps for for future distractions? It wouldn't be the first time

I hope the deputy recovers quickly http://www.recordonl.../NEWS/120619965

When I took my ARFF class we went to the airport and I was fortunate enough to ride in the old truck as we went down the runway and opened the turrets, that was a fast truck. The line service employees are required to be manned & capable of reaching the other side of the airport within a certain amount of time. These are standards required by the FAA.

to prevent anyone from sticking their head in or climbing in. From what I've seen in photos in the past apparently their must be some toxic stuff in the engines. It's also put on during transports on planes to make it more aerodynamic.

Great shots, thanks for sharing

In Dutchess most places have some kind of Fire or Building inspectors that do the CO's construction compliance code violations etc. These are usually town / village / city employees who have to go to "X" amount of codes classes. They are not responsible for investigating fires that is primarily up to the fire chief. Some municipalities have their own fire investigation teams or use the county fire investigations. Either way their are LEO's on the team. If deemed necessary they can request assistance from the state.

Very Interesting, I'll have to search YouTube later to see if thier are any videos the FD's may have made showing burn examles. I know it will eventually come to the US where it will have to pass test before it's used and then factorys would have to be tooled for the wood manufacturing and then put out on the market for people to build with where initially will be expensive. So I think it may be a few years before it becomes common in the states. Good find.

I think what he asked was if his department responds to an accident and as an example extricates a victim, he wants to know how to get info. No medical director is required for that. In addition your department can respond to EMS assist calls with out being registered as a BLSFR department. Now if your EMT's want to rapid re-cert your department needs to participate in order to get reimbursed or if they want to take an EMT or First Responder class with out paying out of pocket your department needs to be registered with the state.

Time for these drug companies to start hiring more people to make more drugs.

Sometimes the ambulance crews find out a little bit but not too much. Otherwise, hope it makes the paper and they MIGHT have something
