Rescue = Taking person/animal/whatever you want to call it out of a IDLH environment alive Recovery(or what you call removal) = Taking person/animal/whatever you want to call it out of a IDLH environment dead That's how we refer to it on my neck of the woods...

I have a 06 chevy duramax, and nock on wood, its a great truck. I only have 2500 miles on it and im getting around 18mpg. Check out dieselplace.com, there is tons of info on all makes.

Off the top of my head, a few years ago in Greenwich, there were a few guys who had to jump out of a third storie window because of a flashover. They were ordered out of the building, and then returned into it to look for some missing kids. If they had some form of rope they might have not been injured so badly. In my local area thats all I can recall over the past 10 years.

OK let me get this straight, you turn off the siren and once the light is green you turn it back on, hit the "Q" and step on the horns? How is it scaring the living sh*t out of them and having go into a code or drive right into each other? Sure I doesnt really happen, but most likely the driver will panic and not know what to do at all. So is that really the best thing to do?

I dont know what you are refering as "code 2" some departments in CT Code 2 is lights and siren, while Code 1 is respond with traffic. Anyway, If that officer told you to vent a truss roof that was self venting would you? Not to disrespect officers, but you must always think about an order given to you to be sure it is safe for you, your crew, and the public.

This was covered in your EVOC course at the training center if you have taken it. Also since Banksville responds into Greenwich, it should be covered in the several hours of driver training you received. Ok this is a no brainer... "House hit by lightening with windows blown out" if no machine is on scene to confirm no fire, you must assume that there is a fire until it is known by fire personnel. SO LIGHTS AND SIREN which you well know is code 20 in Greenwich. If you get into an accident, you are responsible, whether it is your personal vehicle or fire apparatus with lights and siren on or off. How did the driver not have control of the siren? The siren controls are in the drivers reach, and E157, E159 both have Q's which you can control from the drivers seat by either using the switch on the floor or by pressing the horn button on the steering wheel. From what I understand you are both a driver and an officer in your department. These questions you SHOULD NOT be asking!!!!! This is how people get hurt. A large number of our injuries are from responding and returning from fire calls. Use common sense if you have any. Responding to an emergency you go lights and sirens.

if this was true how did he get out to buy more beer???

i heard that they are going to have robots that put the fires out for us... this means that we will no longer have jobs

Well since today’s weak firefighters hurt themselves sliding the poles, someone has to show them how to do it right.... Well this brings up two points: 1) Who cares if strippers are in the hall if it is rented out? Not mentioning any departments I have been to two stag parties in the area that has had strippers. As long as you are renting your hall out for income, and there is no illegal activities going on, who cares. 2) Who still has fire poles in their houses and who are still allowed to use them?

OCC SUCKS!!!!!!!! If it wasnt for their tv show they would have never made it. they dont know how to build quality bikes. In my opinion the way they make money is from T-shirt sales.... Who here has a bike? I got a harley for sale......
