thought it was funny, joined NYSC a while back, now they have a rule, only paid firefighters get discounts, out of control

VMFD purchased Globe G-extreme with the DRS( Drag Rescue System), is that what you are talking about, if so, they seem to be quite interesting, we've done a test with it and seems to be a replacement of the "scott pak harness" where you would use the waist straps between the legs to extract a downed firefighter.

sounds like a case of snapple tops

chris498 ladder 19 is tmfd, not vmfd

well said chief

i always thought it had to do with LZ's

i love the PBI color, however, my firetruck is yellow, so my gear at the firehouse is yellow, period. of course, ive gotta have my set of black with no writing for when i buff during the winter months

i have a 1010 in yellow and in black, but nothing is as comfortable as my fathers new yorker, broken in and 25 years old. Not to get off topic but having personal stuff is more assuring. I have an entire set of gear, from RIT harness to nomex hood that is mine, i own it, and i feel more comfortable in that set, than I do in the set i keep at the firehouse, which is set up the exact same way.

maybe someday someone will make a movie or show about firefighters that isnt a love story, a family's timeline, or an alcoholics AA meetings, and we can a firefighter put out fires, and pack hose, and so on. Then people can see what we really do.

this may sound stupid but whats a dry down

i got some good video of the last New Rochelle fire

its not that redundant, doesnt white plains have there own training facility, new rochelle uses it as well.

New Ro uses 33.96 to be dispatched, then they go to 46.26 to be heard from county, but I dont have their fireground with me right now, im at work

E 40, vil of mamk was going to be the same blue from RDMURRAY, however, since they finally got the department to stop complaining about the yellow they had for the previous 20 years, they decided not to go through it all again and stayed with the yellow

volunteers try to be like paid, paid like volunteers, nobody is trying to be like anybody, were all firefighters

yeah rye has a huge hotel for one firefighter at night

585, im not trying to argue, and im sure that the night should have ended sooner, but these firefighters had been in a parade earlier that day, and had gone from bar to bar with about 10 guys, some decided to change, some not, the problem is, smokeshowin gets half a story and just belts it all out on EMTBRavo. These guys had been in a parade earlier that day, then went bar to bar, where they landed at a bar where they have a lot of friends from several other FD's, as a matter of fact, i'd say the bar was 80% FD and the rest friends of FD. My point is, when you dont have a full story, dont blab about it. Yes drinking in excess is a little bad when you are representing your or any FD, but these guys were not stripping on the bar, or disrespecting the FD, get your facts together then come to me with a story

what does wearing a shirt from the fire service whether it be a t or anything else have to do with drinking. any moron can go down to NYC city and buy a FDNY sweatshirt and go to a bar on thursday. When they get trashed and are stumbling around thursday night after the parade, are we gonna say hey, look at the trashed firefighter, no you are gonna say, hey look at him, hes bombed. Nobody looks at my ASI tshirt and says wow he must be a firefighter, especially not in NYC anymore. Face it, I could wear any shirt in the world to a bar, and if im drunk, its not my clothing that is gonna bring attention to me, I completely disagree with you ALS. Everyone here is looking at this in the wrong way. Stop worrying about your image, we are protecting people, whether two of us are home cuz they are wrecked, the public doesnt care. I have to believe the general public has enough common sense to know we arent venting there roof with a bottle of 151 in our hands

i think that everyone here is overreacting. If these guys were there in uniform, and were drinking that much, they obviously arent going to be bringing the first line into your neighbors house. Remember, everyone here has done something like this, and are only aggreing with it now because its convienent. If anyone was really worried about them they would have looked at the more important details, are they wearing pagers, and are they driving. You guys just point and look, like hery, I can write about this tomorrow on EmTBRavo, and see how many people are going to agree with me because I work at 60 control. Lets stop critisizing and fix the problem, instead of saying, wow look at these idiots. And I happened to have been at the same bar, and I want to know why this person who saw them, whom i think I know, has the audacity to write this while he was right there drinking with the two firefighters in question. Those are my $.02, shoot me if you dont like it. and cheer up, its st pattys week

i can tell you what ladder I think is rediculous, ladder 20, size and overall layout, 98% useless in our village, serves almost no purpose, not to mention, barely ever rolls because there are hardley ever two drivers around in the day.
