No Problem, I just like seeing all the cards on the table, so we can make educated opinions. I think $100k is about right for the work you listed in my opinon. I be willing to bet, R14 is going to get quite a bit more, I will inquire and post. Stay safe,

We need to get rid of all these people in Washington!!! Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act Expires http://www.fireengineering.com/ap-news/2015/10/01/zadroga-9-11-health-and-compensation-act-expires.html?cmpid=EnlFireEngWeeklyOctober12015&eid=293122599&bid=1191459

It's not in service. Training, Radios's and equipemnt installation have not been completed. Stay Safe.

I think we need to better define " Cascade ". Thats a pretty generic term that does not describe the capacity of the equipment and with a "Cascade," capacity is pretty important. A standard "Cascade System" - High Pressure Breathing Air Storage Cylinders ONLY A "Cascade with Booster" - High Pressure Breathing Air Storage with electrical or pneumatic pump to boost low pressure to high presssure. A "Compressor Refill System" - A High Pressure Pump usually (6000 psi) which fills High Pressure Storage Cylinders If anyone has a different type, please feel free to add. Stay Safe

NYS OGS Surplus Property Stay safe

FYI Utility 147 was acquired to be a prime mover for our support trailer. It is also going to be a driver training vehicle for any one starting to train for an MPO position. Right now only 21 year members can train to be a MPO. This is intended to allow 18 year old drivers the ability to start training on a larger vehicle without damaging a front line response unit. Once properly outfitted, at the discretion of the Chief, it may be used for storm duty. Original cost on this vehicle was over, $105,000.00 We acquired through surplus for $3700.00 Stay Safe

Primary function of FDNY is water supply at aircraft incidents. They are also responsible for all structural incidents on property. Once life safety priorities and extinguishment are accomplished by PAPD, the incident then becomes structural until the NTSB commences with the investigation. ref: 10th ed. FDNY operational reference Not so sure how the new ARFF guys fit into this plan as of yet. Stay safe.

F.D.N.Y. Thread is 3.030 x 8 TPI NYC (New York Corp Thread) is 3.00 x 8 TPI **Threads Per Inch** These threads because they are so close in size are constantly getting mixed up. Eastchester, Mt. Vernon and Pelham Manor are listed as New York Corp New Rochelle and Pelham are FDNY In addition: You can put a FDNY Female on a NYC male coupling but you can not put a NYC Female on a FDNY male. BE CAREFUL, this could create a bad situation on the fire ground. Stay safe...

The correct term for "Freeze Protecting" a 2.5" gallon Water Fire Extinguisher is "Loaded Stream" Any local fire extinguisher company should be able to provide. It comes in powered form and can be mixed in a 5 gallon bucket to get your desired result. Meaning: The more you mix, the better the freeze protection, ie: 0, -10, -20 degree's. Hope this helps. Stay Safe.

It's a hamlet within the Town of North Castle. There is no such thing as the Town of Armonk. Be Safe.

This should sum it up: According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), “Made in USA” means that “all or virtually all” the product was, indeed, made in America. The agency enforces the standard to ensure commercial compliance and confirm consumer confidence. For a “Made in USA” claim to be accurate, all significant parts, processing and labor that go into the product must be of U.S. origin. Products should not contain any – or only negligible – foreign content. Stay Safe...

OK, I respect your opinion, Here is what I can tell you about how the Pak Tracker made it to FDNY. This project was in the works before 9/11 by some very well respected members of your department and not R&D. The idea was to put the PT into the PASS electronics and they had requested Scott to do it because it seemed like a logical choice. After 9/11, the program became a priority by your staff chief's because the department had very few options for tracking a downed member. I was at that meeting, and I can tell you, They were not asking Scott to do it... They were demanding it or they would find another manufacturer that would. Is it perfect, NO, but it adds NO WEIGHT to the members SCBA because of its integration to the PASS electronics. If a member gets jammed up and cant hit the mayday button, it will send the signal ie. L30-Chau to the receiver letting someone know there is a problem and that the member may need help. You are never going to please everyone but to say that this did not come at the request of FDNY is just untrue. Stay safe

Your right!(roll eyes),I forgot, the rest of the fire service knows nothing, and you guys know everything. Stay safe.

Lets agree to disagree. Its a tool like anything else. It has its +'s and -'s. and Yes, I am involved with Scott products and NYC. Stay Safe

Well no, FDNY came to Scott after 9/11 and demanded a system be developed around the electronics of the PASS device. It took 8 years (2010) for FDNY to adopt it and it was a part of the upgrade to the paks and an additional 18 months for them to get the hand held receivers. Long after other major cities had been using this technology. FYI, The training suggests that system could cut the time to finding a downed firefighter by 50% if used properly. A little more then borderline in my opinion. Stay safe.

Wow, useless? That system was developed for FDNY by Scott and adds ZERO weight to the SCBA because its integrated in to the PASS electronics. My bet is that formal training on how to use the system effectively was never implemented correctly. I believe there is a Captain assigned to Tactical Training doing PT training. Maybe a refresher is in order. Stay safe

From a person who has been in and around the fire service for the 28 Years, I can not think of any reason to do this. Even if you used webbing to tie off the the end on the ladder, this is NUTS!!! Come on, This is a NIOSH report waiting to happen. Stay safe.

They never took delivery of the ALF 75' Quint, They bought a KME 75' Quint. Stay Safe
