This WSOTF everyone speaks about, Who is in charge of this and Who is responsible for calling on these designated piece of apparatus? I understand it is a well organized well trained group of persons but I think what i'm asking is if someone can explain or shed more light on the WSOTF and who what where when and why they should be utilitized. I'm looking for a detailed explanation. I know the basics, like who is apart of the task force, but what besides tech rescue what are they capable of(the tech rescue part was beat to death last week)... Where is there responses area besides the obvious districts they already cover?

OPENING NEW DIVISION SOON SO ANYONE INTERESTED IS URGE TO CONTACT

Thanks for the honor Seth.... I guess I started a good post.

ANOTHER YOUNG IDIOT TRYING TO BE A HERO. I HOPE HE IS NOT ALLOWED BACK IN THE FIRE SERVICE ANYWHERE. WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE OURSELVES AS VOLUNTEERS BE EQUAL AND THEN SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING STUPID LIKE THIS. ITS JUST STUPIDITY.

I recently recieved a card from the department of state. It was a card with number that stated instead of using your Social Security Number for training purposes i'm supposed to use this number. Has anyone else recieved this card and doen anyone know why they are doing this.

To me it just looks like the a bad porch fire. I would have to see the rest of the house and have to know more.

I don't necessarily agree or disagree with the topic, but I was in truck company operation class the other day and I distinctly remember the instructor saying if you get disoriented at a fire look for the red flashing lights and it will help you orient yourself to safety. Depending on where, when, and what I can agree or disagree with turning off you lights on scene.

"I have heard (and seen, and been a part of) the "Morons with Blue Lights" crew. I get it that Cops hate sending Vol FDs to calls because of the show of stupidity that ensues in many cases." The PD should deal with the "Morons with Blue Lights" accordingly with the chiefs and with tickets. Everyone knows who drives what and who is driving like an idiot in there departments that should be handled in house, or the PD should pull them over and ticket or report them to the chief. Proper discipline will deter "Morons with Blue Lights", turning a blind eye is no reason not to dispatch the FD to an FD call. "BUT - what is the excuse when Career FD Units aren't dispatched to calls. There is plenty of Career FFs on here that know what I am talking about. They sit in their stations and hear their PD's doing the ol' check and advise for smoke in the area. WHY?! This is the job of FD - paid or volunteer. If a PD unit arrives and finds, oh, I don't know, a building on fire, will your bullets extinguish it? I doubt it." I listen to my scanner often and I hear many PD not dispatch career staff all the time. No excuse either way in my opinion. We shouldn't have to wait till the worst happens to address issues.

You are missing my point. The point of the matter is not notifing the proper agency for the proper response to a call. If a FIRE ALARM comes in to a police agency that POLICE agency should dispatch there FIRE agency forthwith. Not send a cop to CHECK AND ADVISE and then notify. My issue is lack of notifying, not why are the police there. I agree with having the police there I DISAGREE with the lack of NOTIFICATION. I am not putting blame on anyone I am wondering why proper procedure isn't in place or not followed. I can understand if the Police Dispatcher is busy do to heavy call volume for whatever reason. But if you are that busy why would you send an officer to Check And Advise a FIRE alarm. You have to understand my frustration and it shouldn't have happen for a house to burn down to realize that CHECK AND ADVISE is not proper procedure.

I was in a town to remain nameless like 2 weeks ago when I heard over PD dispatch for a patrol unit to go over to such and such address for a fire alarm "check and advise". 5 minutes later the officer was on scene and asked if FD had been dispatched, which they never were because the call came into the PD and they never notified 60control. The patrol unit radios in 2-3minutes on scene that he has a smoke condition in the house notify FD. 3-5minutes later the tone hit for the FD. I don't understand why if it is an FD call why you would send the PD first. I'm not saying they shouldn't come because they do have resources that help the FD, like key holder info. etc. Would you send the FD for shots fired because someone called the FD dispatcher? "NO" you would notify the police. If I was a homeowner and I found out that the police responded to my fire alarm and my house was on fire and then they never notified the FD I would be pissed, and now a days where everyone and the mother has a scanner in the house why wouldn't the PD just follow procedure. My big question for the police members of EMTbravo is what is the big deal in notifying the FD paid or unpaid?

What is a Fall Back Step #3 for Manhattan?
