  7. heres a major part of the problem... excited FF's racing to the firehouse or the scene in their POV's, inexperienced excited drivers racing apparatus to the scene, members not taking care of themselves, non existant exercise programs, no annual physical... 47.8% of the LODD's were health related, now granted I am not in the best shape, but im not nearly close to being in the worse shape. depts need to focus on proper physical fitness and driver training... RIP to all members that gave their lives

  9. each vehicle has its own problems but from a patient access/stabilization stand point any vehicle that is a coupe, not much room in the back
  10. good questions alll around, what they hit was a parked car.. now I wonder if it different if you hit a parked car or came in contact with another moving vehicle.. if its the latter one then you are required to stop and atleast check for injuries

I myself being a dispatcher would like to have good conversations with fellow dispatchers, Thanks Matt 911 Dispatcher Forum

  20. Sometime I really want to move to another country!! everybody is trying to blame everyone one else for something!! Oh I just think its real funny that If you go file a complaint form out at the Bridgeport PD, it also gives you info about contacting the NAACP, thats what I heard. Jackson Just fights issues that will put him in the spot light, he does not give a crap, he just wanted the press and attention
  21. Amen to that, I refuse to learn another Language for the people that are moving to america
  22. this minority crap is getting a little out of hand !! hire the best qualified! ohh and speaking the langauge of AMERICA may help!
  23. we did this down in pg county maryland on a lot of fires, it was usually the job of the truck co or rescue squad. I dont think its a good idea, its not really done now much down there and I dont know anyone who does it up here
