I here you George, he's always trolling.

I know Chris. My comment wasn't directed towards anyone, just the idea that the city would actually build a new fire H/Q. Oh, and by the way Guy just finished the last donut.

Skip the heliport and new building and hire our guys back.Repromote the officers that earned their ranks.

Must be all those requests for that outboard motor..lol

Speaking of tables, Poops, we were talking at the dinner table the other night and we were wondering how long do you have to cook shrimp before you boil all the flavor out of them?

Don't forget medical and phycological evaluation.

The agility is given when a dept. considers hiring you. You have to pass it to even be considered. If you get hired, you will be given it at the start, the middle, and the end of the academy. The test that really counts is at the end. It will step up to the next percentile (get harder) and if you don't pass you don't graduate. Good luck.

Are you sure you want to go there?

Fire started in first floor living room and spread rapidly through the open walls. The resident tried to extinguish the fire himself instead of calling 911. You know the rest....

Bill, residential building (three story ordinary).Apartments on every floor. There was a parking lot on the 4 side of the building that made for a nice spot for TL-71.

Very nice pics, thanks for sharing.....

RIP

There is nothing more precious than daddy's little girl. I was blessed with two of them. Best wishes to you and your wife.

Saw it on the Yahoo homepage this morning.

I'm willing to bet that anyone who free fell and stopped right above the ground now speaks a couple of octaves higher than before.....Seriously though I do believe that if someone is burning and still has the presence of mind to deploy an escape system is not going to do it calmly and is likely to pull the handle for all it's worth. I'm not bashing the Exo, or any other device, just passing on a point that I found to be pertinent to this topic. None of these systems are perfect but there is a lot more to choose from than just a few years back.

Something to keep in mind was the point mentioned by M'Ave. Devices such as the Exo, F4 and a bunch of others will hold you in place while you are hanging out the window. Pull on the lever without a brake hand on the rope and you will drop really fast. Anyone looking into some sort of system should consider a device with a double brake. It will hold you in place until you pull the lever like the others but if you panic and pull it to much and you will once again stop. This was pointed out to me by members of my job that are currently evaluating different systems and devices. The CMC Escape Artist comes in a double brake model and appears to be one they are liking the most so far. Just something else to consider in your quest for the right system.

Yes, that is the new TL-71 logo, designed by some of the senior members of the truck with alot of help from R1smokeeater.

YPD is dispatched on all extrication calls also. Tools are carried on the ESU. The extrication is handled by the first arriving unit PD or FD. In the case of a long or difficult job the units will assist each other . Good luck with the new rig YPD.......

Wow , I like that deal. In NY you just hear we are going to cut PD, FD, DPW, Board of ed, double the rates of Permits and oh yeah 9 1/2 percent property tax increase. Of course there is a load of other ridiculous increases.Sorry for the rant.Just had enough of the BS.

And let me guess, they are raising taxes......

Over a foot In Monroe.......

I believe it activates the aides shock collar when he drives to fast....

Should have put it in the truck. Would have come in handy for roof ventilation.....
