Future Fireman

I've seen this engine in person. I had alot of fun at a pump panel figuring how to use it. Mike

No, you're forgetting the upside down salad bowl helmets! Mike

Agreed. Vote REPUBLICAN! Mike

Not sure if this has been discussed, but it seems a simple way to force entry. Now, if you all knew this stuff before and I'm totally oblivious to it, please smack me upside the head. Mike

According to the article, it'll be the city's tab. I personally would prefer for the retirees to pay for it, but what do I know? I'm only a minor. Mike

CAD Says.... A Firehouse.com Article Found this really interesting. What do you dispatchers think of it? Mike

Old timers had a 'Homer Simpson' moment. D'OH! Oh well, at least the damage was only athetics, not like we need that step there or compartment closed. Mike

Simple equation: (Insert Emergency Service i.e. FD,PD,EMS here) + POLITICAL BS = CRAP for the TAXPAYERS who use the services :angry: :angry: Mike

Agreed, I don't like the Shamrock in place of the stars. Place a leprechaun instead of the flag. Mike

Reason why we should all buckle up: Everyone stay safe, buckle up, and come home! Mike

Georgia Firefighters Arrested for Arson Another black eye it seems for the Fire Service To use Firehouse.com's Paul Comb's cartoon: Mike

Is Mr. MFY afraid of heights and tight spaces? I hope not! Someone would need to get a photo of MFY going down a skylight to report to work since I would assume Chris would be making sure MFY doesn't fall flat on his face. Mike *Disclaimer, I don't personally know MFY or Chris and I have been a Massachusetts native my whole life so I'm only joking here.

What happens if you need to go in for work 2 hours later and the chopper still isn't anywhere near clearing the scene? Call in sick, I DON'T THINK SO. Maybe a bailout onto the dispatch center's roof would be in order? Chris, can that be arranged? Mike

[sarcasm] And I'm only at a MEASLY 400 million. [/sarcasm] Mike

Hey! :angry: Rehab is important! :angry: Mike

Could it be a lease to own? After x amount of years, it's owned by the Dept. Maybe something like that? Mike

Yes, but the gas was put in a SUV that was purchased with TAXPAYER MONEY. Mike

Here's Massachusetts cousin: Auburn Fire/Rescue Aerial Tower 1, 1995 Sutphen 1500 GPM/270 Gallons/100 Ft. boom. Mike

To quote Car Company Lexus, It's the "Pursuit of Perfection." Mike

Let the Brass not forget this very important EMTBravo rule: They got a problem with this site, read OUR rules before criticizing. The people negatively commenting a FD/PD may be suspended at the discrection of the administrator. I personally prefer a jury of members, but he (the administrator) can do what he wishes. Mike

Nascar isn't back, BASEBALL is! Mike

There was a 'You know you're a dispatcher' thread awhile back, but how about a buff list. Here's a couple of ideas You know you're a buff when..... When you know the location of all the companies in the city/county/town When you know a box assignment to everywhere in the city. You can even name the Talkgroup for the fireground. You know dispatch assignments for anything, CO alarm, Master Box, First Responders, etc... Anyone got anything else? Mike

Neither, we're taking new looks at old things! Mike

So we're promoting a new WORLD of Emergency Services ORDER? AWESOME! Mike

Obviously, Lots of Supply, Little Demand. Where's the tow? Mike
