That might be because of the one million or so who were on their cell phones from Times Square. Although I was able to get through at Midnight without any problems.

That's up to you, but I'm gonna get an i830 in a couple weeks.

This is just plain STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can think of a hell of a lot better training methodology to accomplish the same thing MUCH more safely [-X [-X [-X [-X [-X [-X [-X [-X

From what I've read and heard it's supposed to BUT I have a question about that: Sprint and Nextel operate using two completely different technologies. So are we all gonna have to BUY new phones or will Sprint Nextel do something for us?

In my District we simply back up the NSVAC. We respond to most EMS calls and work very well with them. We have almost 30 members who are EMTs so if they are short we almost always have an EMT who can and will ride with NSVAC. It's a good system and works well for us. Many compliments have been made by police agencies on the professionalism and great working relationship we enjoy.

Quote from the Secret List: Hey... When we get these about the police---we are reminded that the same situation exists for us when going on emergency calls--like we saw earlier this week in Kansas...so we occasionally send these non-FD related details out on The Secret List. Today, Peoria, Illinois police officers are mourning the loss of one of their own who was killed in a car crash last night. Officer Cristy Tindall, 33, died from injuries received in the collision. She was responding to a call for back-up. Witnesses say the police car hit a pole after coming around a curve. The force demolished the car and threw the engine about 30-feet away into the grass. Tindall was a 10-year veteran of the police force. A second police officer in the car survived. Not unlike us in the FD, crashes are the leading cause of accidental death for on-duty police officers across the country according to the FBI. The FBI found nearly 56-percent of victim officers killed between 1994 and 2003 died in car accidents. The same research revealed more law enforcement officers die between 6:01 p.m. and midnight than any other time of day.

Glad to know that Little Feller is doing much better! Hope things continue in that direction. Happy New Year to you all Look forward to seeing everybody back in NY on a permanent basis!

Actually, I talked to somebody who knows Nextel and their phones and he even said that the I730 is among the worst of the Nextel phones 830 and 860 are MUCH better.

I can't think of any suggestions, either. Best Wishes in your entrepreneurial (wow, I even impress myself with words like that) LOL ventures! =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

Very sad indeed. Thoughts and prayers to the friends and family of P.O. Lavery and the Newington Police Department.

Another young firefighter killed in an a Traffic Accident. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE drive safely AND DEFENSIVELY! From Firehouse.com Updated: 12-29-2004 02:29:51 PM Kansas Firefighter Killed In Car Crash; He Was En Route To Emergency Call Basehor Sentinel News Staff Courtesy of The Basehor Sentinel Firefighters from the Fairmount Township Fire Department lowered a flag to half-mast and planned to hang a black banner from the fire station Wednesday after a comrade died in the line of duty earlier that morning. Jared Moore, a 19-year-old Fairmount Township firefighter, died from injuries sustained in a two-car accident at 155th Street and Donahoo Road. He is thought to be the first Fairmount Township firefighter in nearly 30 years to die while on duty. "He was a really nice young man," said Mark Linville, Fairmount Township public information officer. "Really, firefighting was his number one thing. He really loved it. It was just something he really wanted to do . . . Unfortunately, he didn't get to do it very long." Moore was rushing to the scene of a one-car accident at approximately 12:03 a.m. when a patrol car from the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Department collided with Moore's vehicle. According to a Kansas Highway Patrol report, Moore was not wearing a seatbelt. He suffered fatal injuries from the vehicle accident. Linville said Moore began his service to the fire department in August. While he was a probationary officer and wouldn't become a full-fledged firefighter for another two years, Linville said there wasn't much question that Moore was going to contribute to the department. "From what we saw, he certainly would have been a valuable asset to the department," Linville said. "Everybody is just kind of trying to work through this right now. It's been a difficult morning for everyone." Deputy Robert L. Peterman, Jr., 36, was transported to Cushing Memorial Hospital in Leavenworth for treatment of possible injuries. Peterman was wearing a seatbelt, according to the highway patrol. According to the highway patrol report, Moore and Peterman were driving north on 155th Street. Moore slowed down and attempted to turn left onto Donahoo. Peterman also attempted to turn left and his police cruiser struck Moore from behind. Both Moore and Peterman were traveling to an accident at 158th Street and Donahoo Road. There, police and emergency medical services were called to the scene of a one-car rollover accident. According to a sheriff's department report, Rachel Miller, a 17-year-old Basehor-Linwood High School student, was taken via medical helicopter to the University of Kansas Hospital for treatment after she was ejected from her vehicle late Tuesday evening. According to the report, Miller was driving east on Donahoo Road when she lost control of her vehicle and entered a ditch. Her vehicle rolled over several times, deputies report. Hospital officials at the KU Hospital would not disclose Miller's medical status as of Wednesday morning. As of noon Wednesday, no details regarding a funeral service for Moore had been released. Moore is believed to be the first Fairmount Township firefighter to be killed while working since Barney Eberth was killed in 1975. Eberth died after being run over by a fire truck. Thoughts and prayers to Firefighter Moores family and friends as well as the Fairmount Township FD RIP, Jared

Let me know how you like it, cause I'm gonna get a new dig-cam just not sure which one yet. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I was Chief in Croton Falls for the Barns Med Center fire. Definitely a big one. The one part of the incident that I'll NEVER forget was the steam bleve of the southwest corner lollicolumn. Damn near killed 2 of my members. Talk about close calls----- I think every FD in Putnam County as well as a lot from Dutchess and No. Westchester. Had to be Summer of 1990 cause I was Chief in 89 and90.

Amen. He was one of those who added a lot to the show, which is also one of my favorites. RIP, jerry
