My point exactly! They are outraged!

The new response policy came into effect when myself and my Chief of Operations went and asked for 2 paid members. We are a small town run by Mayor/Council form of government, running about 500 calls a year.

I guess I need to updatmy profile. I became chief January 1st 2011. Thanks for all the info guys.

I have not and will not give him my resignation. I think when he allowed the reporter in, I was in so mug shock that I couldn't do anything.

Myself and the mayor had some disagreements in reference to spending and a new response policy that he was putting into place in which the police would respond first and let dispatch know the situation. It didn't set well with me and in a private meeting in which the mayor ask for my resignation, he allowed the reporter from the local newspaper to sit in the meeting,The meeting was quoted word for word in the next edition of newspaper. What do you guys think? Has this happen to anyone else, how do you feel about the press setting in.

I was wondering if any one's service has worked on an internal plan or task force set up for the H1N1! I work for a medium size service and if we was to have 6 people out at once that would destroy us. Really just wanted to see what other services are putting into place!

So I see that you are having the same problem I am. No one wants to talk about it until it happens, and then its to late. But for instance, we run 3 twenty four hour trucks and one 16 hour truck on the 24/48 rotation. We have about 8-10 part time & prn. If one hole shift got sick which could very easily happen we have no back-up plan!

My department is finally getting an aerial. Can anyone point me in the direction or e-mail me a inventory of what we need to be a fully functioning ladder company. Thanks

Hey guys, Needing some help with the dimensions of a 1973 Mack Baker Aerielscope. Basically needing the length of one of these trucks. Thanks for any help!

Thanks mrfixit, that was the info i was needing.

Ok guys, can anyone help! I just purchased a VIZIO 32 inch LCD HDTV, and I need some help with the settings. I have the TV in my bedroom and I need to see what settings works the best. My display seems just a little blury! Any imput will be appreicated! Thanks

I upgraded my current Direct-TV receiver, to the HDTV DVR box and they're installing it Saturday. Do you all think that will help with the picture, or will I still need to purchase the HDMI cables?

I seen a pic of the CARV in someone photos of the crane collapse, dont remember who's, but seen the front of this vehicle! So its still around!

Ok, I am kinda embarresed to tell this one, but here it goes, The ambulance service I work for is a three story building, we put Christmas lights up every year around the top of the building, but the roof condition is getting worse so we opted to get a construction lift, drill holes and put eye hooks in them to secure the christmas lights this year. So we rented the bucket lift and things were going well, so on the 2nd day, the day before thanksgiving we (myself and my chief) up in the bucket finishing up with the job and the lift just shut off. We were fully extended, but was in the process of moving the lift so we wasnt close to the building. So luckly our mechanic was there, so he thought we was just out of gas, so he added some and still couldn't get the machine started. So then it started to rain. A call was placed to the rental company and they sent out a mechanic, and wouldnt you guess, they couldnt get it started either, so they tried to let us down manualy but they stupid thing had vapor locked, so we put in a call to the City Fire Dept for their 114' Bronto. To make a long story short, all the crews was out laughing, the newspaper was there, and we made the front page, stepping from the lift to the bronto. So things can go real bad on these lifts, I am living proof!

Chris I agree with you 100%, This is a great site! Take for instance a radio station, how do they pay the bills - ad's Sometimes no matter how annoying they are, they pay the bills!

A very intresting show! They have a very dangerous job, did anyone catch the episode when they were stringing the line with the helicopter and it got hung, wow! I got nervous for them... Looks like a new season of Ice Road Truckers and Deadliest Catch should be coming on very soon!

I agree with you 1000%! You have some very valid points! Its symbolic, Its just become the norm for our fallen brothers and sisters! I hope this tradition carries own, not saying that I want any LODD's, just saying that if they happen we should know that we will be there for our fallen brothers & sisters.

This is a very nice piece, its a nice addition to the other Yonkers code 3 trucks! There are several added features on this truck we havent seen in a while...

RIP

Came across this story today, very intresting and kind of scary! http://www.kentucky.com/522/story/341797.html

It also stated in the story people were disposing of their perscriptions down the comode!

Completed ICS 100/200/300/700/800! Just waiting on 400!

Incidents alerts first (of course) - - Got to see what our brother and sisters are out on! But then checking the New York City Fourm! -

I agree, it is very hard to believe it's been 15 years. Funny though I remember on that day its doing the same thing outside here, that it was doing on that day. Snowing here in Kentucky! Its kinda scary how time flies by!
