Thanks for the advice fjp, my class used the ifsta firefighter essentials book which covers CT firefighter 1 and 2, the building construction chapter was less than 5 pages!!! and in-light of the tragedies in Charleston, Boston, and in even in NYC, I think that this topic should be further stressed.

about 3 months worth of class

fire one is a great class, i just wished that the fire one book would spend more time on building construction.

Im shocked, this should be on the daily show or the Colbert report, how I can imagine the jokes that this black eye could bring. Seriously all these bad and downtrodden things that keep plaguing the fire service need to stop, the P.R from this is not needed. I wish the media would highlight all the good thats done on an everyday basis. Not the bad stuff that happens once in a blew moon when the bad apples rot

September 10, or 11th either late on the tenth or early on the eleventh

Seth I agree with your new policy 110%, this site is for professional individuals of the Emergency services community. we must treat each other with dignity and respect and in a public setting politically correct, so just communicate on this forum, like you would talk to your boss (on a good day) stay safe Sr71

the engines that they replaced were very old and worn out mack cf's, engine 41 was a 1975 with a refurb in 89, while engine 42 was a 1984. Darien has the largest district in town and the most runs(they also cover i95) these engines saw allot of use and they needed to be replaced. DFD has the largest checkbook in town (if u get my drift)

that is correct, i think engine 42 is owned by the town and engine 41 is owned by DFD
