[THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS FORWARDED BY THE NEW YORK STATE ASSOCIATION OF FIRE CHIEFS PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE FOR YOUR INFORMATION. September 10, 2008 0908-19 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Golf Safety Received the following from Past NYS Fire Academy Superintendent Richard Nagle. Subject: Lightning hit golf bag A man got hit by lightning Monday morning on a golf course in Madison, WI. The following are pics of what was left of his bag. Please pass this along to your golfing buddies. Read the what the policeman says, then take a look at the pictures. I have been a police officer for 18 yrs and have seen a lot of gruesome and disturbing scenes (if you can imagine it, I have probably seen a variation of it) ... this one was different because it hits close to home and some of us have been in this situation. This 75 year old golfer (no pictures of him) was out on the course with 3 other retired guys for a regular weekly tee time, and the weather forecast didn't even predict rain at 10pm the night before. They teed off and got around to the back nine when it started to rain, and when there was a little lightning way off in the distance so they headed in. They waited under a tree half way in when the rain became very heavy. When it let up a little bit three of them then continued in but one guy decided to wait it out unde r a 50' pine with an overhang of 10' while standin! g next to his bag. Minutes later a lightning bolt struck his bag and push cart as he was holding onto one of his clubs killing him instantly. On the top of the first photo you will see what was left of his driver ... also in a later photo are little brown clumps which used to be golf balls. Most of the items in the bag simply disintegrated from the heat and intense initial zap - including the labels to his ping irons and Cleveland woods (which all popped off). The electricity burned holes into the bottoms of the clubs. The strange thing is the tree under which he was standing had no sign of a lightning strike. The bolt literally went sideways under the tree to the golf clubs. Lesson to be learned - If you are caught out on the course or water ... distance yourself from anything metal OR graphite. (Did you know that lightning rods are often made of graphite?) Put your cart 50' away from you! When you see lightning off in the distance GO IN IMMEDIATELY, DON'T WAIT.

Carmel actually just got a trainer last year. I think the ambulance did do stand-by's but not anymore if we get a call for a football player that's injured at the game they tone us out we aren't that far from the high school anyways it's literally two seconds away from the ambulance shed . And when I played for the last three years the nurse was at the games in case somebody got hurt at the varsity games nobody is there for the other levels jv and freshman .

I know brewster had constables for a while and I don't think they were armed they did some of the same things I believe. But now they are police officers and are armed and there cars say police but before that they said constable I don't think the constable thing was working out so that's why they changed .

It's gonna be cool doing baby climb in hurricane force winds. Good thing I foot the ladder so I don't have to worry about getting blown away.

REACT stands for Radio Emergency Associated Communication Team according to this website I Found about the Maryland React Council it tell's you about react and it says that they monitor channel 9 http://marylandreactcouncil.org/.And I've seen that Putnam REACT truck parked at 40 control on top of the parking garage it's like and ambulance with red lights on it i've never seen it go any place though.

Yeah I was thinking that too and I have to agree with everyone else it does make it harder to distinguish between the two.

Oh okay I knew it did something that messsed with the truck.

Nope it's not like that anymore they run you til' you drop they don't care if it's hot or not I know in carmel it rotates between double and triples every day from the first day of august until the 31st plus there are also camps now too the whole summer it has really changed alot.

Yeah the only problem with it is that if you talk on the radio the truck comes out of pump we found that out during a tanker shuttle drill when we first got it it's a decent truck the one it's replacing was better IMO.

A 600 pound statue is heavy how do you steal that. You can't really throw it into the back of your pickup truck without some help.

Nice pics in this one aswell 114 ft is huge you are right about that .

There's an article about transcare getting the contract on lohud. http://www.lohud.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008808220342

When does bls 4 get pulled because I heard it take a call the other day ?

Yeah didn't you take the other pics ? Yeah me to but the one's I've seen were on the outside of the bumper not the inside. like this one nice job as always by sws. http://specialtywarningsystems.com/Fire/im...%2008-11-07.jpg

Nice pics is this the same car that was posted on here with the pics of it at night or is this a different one ?

Yeah it does look pretty nice.

That looks like it will be a really nice firehouse hope it works out for you guys.

Oh okay thanks.

How long ago did they stop using this firehouse and how many stations do they have now?

So these ambulance do everything a regular police car does or are these strictly for ems responses ? I like the diamond plate on the side too that's cool.

How big is their response area? Do they just cover the home or do they actually cover a town?
