Great shots.
Don't see a porta tank or discharges, so wondering about the tanker designation. Did you get any shots of the interior?

Four civilians and Fire Captain where in a Sutphen Aerial, extending 100' on 45 degree angle, when the bucket suddenly retracted 40 feet. Occupants suffered injuries of which could have been more severe had they not been wearing some type of restraint device.
Members may want to rethink or look over SOP's and adjust for always wearing safety restraints when using the Aerial. Also when making a rescue make sure that stokes basket is secured to the bucket.
Before the comments start that it was overloaded, in the images it appears to be a SPH100 which has a unique waterway, it has a 1000' weight limit and the Sutphen brochure states a 3:1 safety rating. (Huckbee bolts and box frame.) I would assume the cable was rated for the same.
We should hold off judgment of what failed, until after a thorough investigation is finished.
Edit: Spell check, so I don't come off as an Illiterate.

After graduating PA school on the 11th, I took a small trip to Bermuda. Definitely needed a getaway to lay low and relax after studying my butt off these past couple years. While I was down there I stopped by the local FD and grabbed a couple quick shots. I was pressed for time so I wasn't there long. One FF came out and was very happy to talk to me and show me the rig, very nice guy. Anyways - just thought i'd share.
This station only had one rig at the time. I asked a little bit about what they usually see on a regular basis. Per the FF, they mostly respond to MVAs and MCA. I was told there is at least one fatal a week on the island with all the small streets and motorcycle/scooter drivers. Mix a little EToH, cell phones, speed and you get the picture. As for structure fires, he told me it is usually a room and contents type deal. Home construction on the island is usually a noncombustible type material and limestone roofs. All roof's are Limestone as they use it to catch rain water for home use.
I didn't have time to get into all the gear/tools/whatnot so here's what I grabbed.
Bermuda Fire Service - Port Royal Station (main headquarters are located in Hamilton Bermuda, didn't make it there)

200? Spartan/Dependable - 25' long, I believe he said 60 gallons of foam and 2 maybe 300 gallons of water. I can't remember exactly.


Police/Rescue boat I saw in Dockyard - I wasn't able to get a better shot than this one.

Enjoy
Mike

Being a jew myself I can speak freely. These individuals in almost EVERY aspect take advantage of the Earth. From the blatant violation of the sanctity of marriage to the flagrant misuse of the vehicle and traffic laws they just rape and pillage. I am so happy that I live in Putnam far from the filth that they call home in many towns in Orange and Rockland. I feel for all of you that must deal with these people with such a feel of entitlement. They use their supposed block voting to scare every single politician in to succumbing to their needs. We need someone with a set to just tell them to STFU get off welfare and stop playing games. All we need is a law stating that two people living together legally, and verified through surveillance, which I am sure we can get volunteers to do, shall not be the beneficiary of social services.

More importantly you need to wait for that receipt so that you can get that refund. When hard times hit, everyone is looking to pass the buck. I wonder how good collections are on identifying fire apparatus blowing through the easy pass lane with no plates.

I wonder how they will handle the situation when FIre uses an access gate, or will they be required to no longer use them as they need to have accountability.

Members,
Bury the hatchet.
Career vs. Volunteer. Police vs. Firefighters.
It's disgusting. Our jobs, volunteers or career, police officers or firefighters we are in it to serve the public. It's not always a perfect world, and there is always going to be politics, disagreements, etc. However, we all should be looking at it like this. How can we work TOGETHER to improve things in this moment of time?
It's NOT about us, it's about the public who depends on us to serve and protect them with the highest level of service possible. If, you, gosh forbid, got into a car accident and were pinned and in needed medical attention ASAP, wouldn't you want someone to get you out of there as soon as possible? We all drive through volunteer and career districts in the course of our days. Would it matter to you who responded at that moment? If you're complaining about the training of volunteers, do something about it. Sign up as an instructor. Figure out how you can help. And vice versa. It could be you that needs them.
If you're a volunteer, who cares what career firefighters think of your agency? If you're confident in the service you provide, there should be no reason to have to "defend" yourselves. There are issues between the two, but if you really look at it, a lot of the problems are very similar. We bellyache about volunteer daytime staffing. However, there are career departments that dont have any better staffing anytime. Can we all put aside egos to work together to solve the problems?
As far as Cops vs Firefighters, we work together and depend on one another. When we have a possibly violent situation, Fire and EMS stage, and Cops go in and risk their lives to make sure it is safe for firefighters and EMS to go in. They have our back. If that cop, gosh forbid, is to get shot, that Cop depends on Firefighters and EMS to save their lives. We have their back.
Those of us who are truly in it to help fellow citizens are sick of it. Open your ears, and learn from one another. You may just learn something simply by listening.
There can be respectful and producitve discussions regarding the issues, but by trashing one another, we only create anonymosity and more problems. This site will NOT tolerate it, and the staff is working on a specific set of rules and action/solution plans to address these threads, members, and posts.
My opinion represents my guiding views as the founder of this site and the Executive Director. I have many other administrative duties as well to keep this site online. I typically don't get involved with the various daily thread, post, or member issues which are handled independently by the staff, which takes a tremendous stressfull burden off my shoulders and are the reason why the site is still online..
The staff of this site volunteer their time to work together as a team to run this site, on a 24/7 basis.. I have full trust in them, and are an excellent team who have a tremendous workload which many members don't see or appreciate. Our staff consists of carefully handpicked active or retired Police Officers, Career and Volunteer Firefighters and EMS personel, Emergency Communications staff, EOC personel, and many other backgrounds. They understand and can relate to all the members and situations.They have accomplished many great things, and this site wouldn't be what it is without them.
Don't waste their time by making them have to "referee". And how can you accomplish this? Respect on another, and bury the hatchet already.

Well, if ours were labeled in French as well, that would probably happen with great frequency!

I wonder what it feels like to roll up with the wrong POD.

Go Rangers!! What an ending to game 5.
